How can people like this get away with setting up dodgy airlines every 2 yrs after the others collapse.

Torair and Viking are connected in a way. If you go to their new very basic www.flytorair.com it gives you a number you can book on. That number is the same www.flyviking.com used! the exact same.

And they seem to have similar strategy as viking had. They are selling flights to Malmo and Gothenberg. In basic terms they are selling tickets on what alot of airlines would just use as a positioning sector.

It really puzzles me as to who would invest with such people. Something will only be done about these airlines after a major incident/accident. And Tor air / viking aren't the only dodgy ones out there.

I know that these airlines aren't generally new start ups but i do feel sorry for the poor airlines who seemed to be promised loads of work and money and are left with a loss and redundancies, plus their name in tatters.
