Happy new year all,
It is with a sad heart that one has to tell you all this story, but it must be told.
Mr. Amos Akpan, former Managing Director of Fresh Air and current MD of Capital Air, just maybe in the fraud business!!!
In September of 2008 he manipulated two Nigerian pilots both resident in the UK, to proceed on recurrent training in Brazil at their own expence promising a refund once they returned to Nigeria.
Unfortunately, what Amos did not tell them was that he had no AOC and that the Airplane on ground was leased from Naturelink South Africa.
Apparently, the airplane had been grounded due to non-payments at the time.
Previously, they had operated on the AOC of Associated Airlines.
Since their arrival from Brazil in October of 2008, neither Pilot has received any re-reimbursements for the expences incurred abroad and to make matters worse, no salaries have been paid to either of the two.
Both have been left high and dry and blackmailed into flying their recently acquired EMB-120 which belongs to BankPHB.
The story is that the Airline is financed by the Bank. Meaning that unless the bank releases money, the airline cannot function.
After many promises, the AOC was acquired about 2 weeks ago.
The pilots have incessantly been made to fly without a cent owed to them both.
One would think that NCAA as a regulator, would look into the activities of these fraudulent carriers??
This should serve as a WARNING to those gullible enough to be manipulated into thinking there is some type of hope in that carrier.
They are unprofessional, heartless liars and have a crowd of old WT farts (The 'Tin Gods').
Daily operations are funded from sales of previous flights and salaries are nowhere in sight.
One of the pilots recently returned to the UK, as he described it, 'My mortgage is not paid with promises'!!!
Should you be approached, and this goes for South Africans especially, maybe you should ask those who were positioned in Lagos by Naturelink.
BE WARNED!!!!
