Janes Aviation
It has been 2 years since the sad demise of Emerald Airways and a awfully long haul to the advent of its reincarnation as JANES AVIATON but also a great tribute to Andy Janes who has had both the determination , forsight and energy to pursue his goal despite the multitude of negative comments in the interim from a wide range of knockers misinformed and sad . Andy Janes was the first casualty of KPMG cull ,it is a little known fact that they never had the decensy to even to discuss the situation with the very man who had put his money into the company and who supported its expansion over the years very much it has to be said to the benefit of an awful lot of greatful employees , many of whom went on to achieve significant careers in the field of aviation.Emerald was not without its faults but it did not deserve the the final body blow that was polictivecally motivated by the AAIB going over the head of the CAA directlly to the Government,Emerald was positioned directly between a rock and a hard face.The common denominator throughout was the CEO and had he been man enough to accept the CAA offer to stepdown gracefully then the AOC would have been restored to the benefit of many, sadly this did not happen .
Good luck to Janes Aviation, carry the banner with pride for the eternal memory of those who went before.
