I wrote in January that Silver Air would have a second aircraft in the air at that time. I had it from people close to the action. Well, guess what. It took them over 3 months, I repeat three months, to get that 737 off the ground
. I bet the owners were not too pleased with the danish CEO for not being able to bring some cash into their the company bank accounts. But maybe he was too busy convincing people to stay with the new airline. At least five captains have left during the past few months, including the Head of Training
. The company lost their charter flights to Afghanistan and are operating to Iraqi these days. The two 732 they own have been in Amman for close to a year for checks and what have you. And they are still there
. All in all it does not look like a healthy start up that Silver Air. It will be interesting to see how long the ex Sterling managers from Denmark can keep this going before the owners start sending some of them packing.
