Skybus did put some planes on the market amongst others. We really don't have the excuse of aircraft unavailability anymore. The latest I heard is that the A319 is even being looked at. I think enough looking around about now and some productive actioning.
Interesting post on My Gulfair by our fearless leader regarding involvement with forums like Pprune. Could that be interprerated as a ban of Gulf Air staff from partaking.
Finally, the latest I heard is that the chairman may be replaced (possibly further delays in progress as a result). Could anyone elaborate?
