There are some very smart & tenacious folks at Astraeus (AEU) and if anyone can find a way to survive this downturn then it's going to be them... albeit without doubt that they're in a frighteningly difficult commercial environment.
It'd be fabulous to see them survive this slump... if only so that many of my mates, whom are still there, do not find themselves on the scrapheap... where, for some, that would likely become their final aviation resting place (
due age), and for others it would represent yet another trip into redundancy (
e.g. those casualties of SilverJet & Zoom whom where latterly rescued by AEU).
In AEU's favour...
It's a big world, and AEU do have a Worldwide AOC, which allows them a lot of diversity in terms of their potential theatre of operation(s) & commercial opportunities.
Along with this, their team are some of the best that its been my privilege to work with... flexible, highly experienced, professional, and with a very "can-do!" attitude.
Astraeus is a great little company, and is a place for which I retain many happy memories and great experiences... so do please hang-on in there Astraeus and be that last man standing!
