Jabird,

The main thing is that these people who have started Air Sylhet are actually inexperienced and amateurs. They have seen that some other people are trying to open an airline and thought they could do the same.

They actually don't know what they have let themselves in for, but the whole situation is at a point where they can't back down - otherwise people will throw their shoes and eggs at their face.

They advertised their services and everything and then they remembered "how the hell are we going to get our own license?..."

But if they don't deliver they will be in a big problem, thus they have have up with an idea to basically open a charter airline (ACMI and third party AOC and OL - is a sort of charter!). But their main advantage is that the people who have invested blind folded are mainly the Bengali people, who have a record a low literacy and they are easy to encourage especially when investment start from £1000, these people don't and wouldn't want to find out the difference, all they want is an airline!

I have also noticed, from an advert in a Bengali newspaper (Janomot - 08-14 June 2007 Page 17), it says:
"...Greater Sylhet Council and Air Sylhet formerly announce working in partnership for the benefit of the Sylhety community in Britian today..."

Looks like support like this is actually resulting in vulnerable people losing their savings. Greater Sylhet Council should not be biased and should work in partnership with every company. They should even investigate these companies beforehand and give a report to us.
