The Wings, Flintstone,

Blink are not pricing anyone out of the market or attempting to see other operators go to the wall. They have a good business plan an excellent Flight Ops and Operations Dept and are quietly going about the business of building a strong customer base of very satisfied customers.

The fourth aircraft has been in the UK for some time and has just been activated, the fifth aircraft is to be delivered shortly.

For those doomsayers amongst you this is a company that is very professionally operated with airline SOP's with an excellent Flight Ops Director and management team. It is perhaps one of the few aviation companies in Europe that is hiring aircrew at the present time. The Mustang is here to stay whether some of you like it or not, importantly the customers without exception love it, it has it's limits like any aircraft but for Blink and their long term plan it's exactly the right aircraft.

I have to admit to getting very tired with all the people on this site that just can't wait it seems, to see another British aviation company go bust.
Why not celebrate a successful start up that is now established ( Blink is a year old ) and gaining quietly a good reputation amongst it's customers, who after all are the most important people with regard to a companies success.

Whilst going out on a bit of a limb I think this company is here for the long haul and long may it thrive. Good luck to all concerned.
