FlyGibraltar now deny their own statement!
After having said that the delays in getting off the ground have been due to 'detrimental effects' flowing from the airport agreement, FlyGibraltar have now denied what they themselves said. This raises the question if this set-up can be taken seriously.
Yesterday they issued the following: "After various articles which have come out in the local media in the last few weeks reference the delays in the launching of Fly Gibraltar, the Fly Gibraltar Management team would like to publicly stress that the delays encountered have nothing to do with the effects of the Cordoba Agreement or the Tripartite Talks which are currently being undertaken between Spain, Gibraltar and the United Kingdom.
"The delays encountered are totally operational and internal to the company and have no political connection whatsoever."
The question that arises is why didn't they say this in the first instance? Instead, they said the opposite!
What they initially said was in a written statement, so there could have been no question of a misprint or anything of the kind.
This is what FlyGibraltar said initially and in writing:
"The Fly Gibraltar Team, over the last few months has been trying to solve the many outstanding issues to keep its promise to provide Low Cost Flights between Gibraltar, the UK and Ireland.
"The signing of the accord between Spain, United Kingdom and Gibraltar on the joint use of Gibraltar Airport last September, the levels of financial investment required, plus the recent plans for the building of a new Air Terminal at Gibraltar Airport has bought up many questions and issues which Fly Gibraltar needs to investigate further before committing itself and its investors financial resources to this venture.
"It has become clear that these continuing issues have had a detrimental effect on our proposed start date of April 2007 and also to our revised start date of June 2007.
"For this reason Fly Gibraltar has decided to continue advancing with this project but delay the start of its operations. The interest and support that this project has generated gives us heart and comfort to carry on moving forward and achieving our aim of starting operations in the not too distant future."
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
