GCAA
Whilst all mostly very nice people, and highly professional, are actually no better or worse than everywhere else.
Perhaps worse, as the senior staff are all either family members, or close to the owners of the AOC holders.
Nepotism is a ME trait, and is the reason why RAK and DANA received their AOCS.
Both of these Northern Emirate companies are ruled by the came shareholders.
Then there is the almost Northern Emirate with its G200, (Israeli) single Corporate jet, not even on an AOC, but flying charter.
I suspect that the press releases are slightly inaccurate: the chatres will be for Gain Jet, whose AOC the aircraft must be on, and secondly as already menmtioned, the Gulfstream 200, is a 100% American Aircraft. Honest my life.
RAK airways will fly again, and even with 1 aircraft ( I beleived the mandate for an AOC was more than 1 aircaft), and 1 post holder.
They have the connections.
Take care up there.
