Not suprisingly "wings recruitment", the aviation branch of Mountain High Recruitment in Crawley, was also used to place some of the Viking Pilots who are currently in Canada under contract to Sunwings.

A couple of weeks ago Viking were contacting 737 TREs to find out if they had any capacity to conduct training on 737 classics, and the ex base captain from LGW has been asking some of the ex Viking 737 Pilots currently in Canada if they would be interested in some work in the UK over the summer

Meanwhile unknown investors from Iceland have put enough money into Torair, an existing Swedish AOC holder, to start a 737 operation in the UK...

Does anyone really believe that there is no connection, or that this isn't a calculated way to restart the operation without trading as Viking AB and thus avoiding the creditors (including cabin crew, flight crew, engineers, etc etc)?
