Operations
Good morning, yes we are still here.
Work is still going on to secure the necessary contracts to start operations. We have considered the Ad-hoc market, but this is now the wrong time of year (factory shut down's, etc). As we have stated before, the low capital cost of the HS748 means we are not under pressure to fly "at all costs" which would be the position if we had an newer asset, on an expensive lease, sitting on the ground. Believe me, it is all in the plan.
One area we have been trying to get sorted is the question of crew training & TRE's on the HS748. As effectively the only operator of the HS748 in Europe, with only a few operating in Canada & Africa, the lack of a TRTO means we cannot train up new crews for any contracts. We have applied for a TRTO but the CAA have just moved the goalposts so we need to resubmit our manual. Currently we only have 1 TRE which is very limiting so we are looking at additional cover, but again the lack of other JAR OPS operators means there limited numbers of TRE's on the HS748. So if there any HS748 TRE / TRI's out there, please give us a call!
Thank you for your interest in Janes Aviation.
