The article says start-up in October but I cannot find the specific pilot base (other than countries FastJet will operate in). Anyone know where the first operational base will be located?
I suppose Stelios had a big say in the aircraft type (i.e., Airbus). Although good-ole Ed Winter had more experience with the 737-300 @ GO.
Question: have any Airbus A319/20/21s crashed in Africa in recent years? Probably not many. Although not always true, it sort of validates the saying I have heard about Airbus aircraft:
They are designed to keep 3rd-World pilots from killing themselves...
