If the damage to 9G-AEU is so minor, why has it not moved since the incident? Is it true that insurance won't cover the repairs as the premiums were not paid?
I have posted pictures of the damage to 9G-AEU. It requires a replacement APU exhaust. This is not minor damage, but it isn't a write-off either as you indicated in your first post on this issue.

Additionally, insurance has to be paid up as a requirement to register the aircraft (it has barely been on Ghana registry a month now). In any case it would not be our insurance that covers this but rather the liability insurance of the aircraft that struck us (M-DSCL).

How can you expect to make money when you fly your planes with less than 10 passengers on board? As for your sale fares, just look at the comments on your own Facebook page to see what your passengers think of that!
Exactly one flight (on the second day of operation) has flown with less than 10 passengers on board. Most flights have something in the range of 30 passengers. Considering it has been only ONE WEEK since operations began, I don't think there is any reason to panic or worry quite yet.

Why are all your flights cancelled until further notice? Is it because GCAA suspended your AOC when all your cabin crew failed their proficiency tests? Or because your Chinese pilots with their Alibaba.com licenses can't speak English?
There have been flight disruptions today due to the closure of Kumasi Airport due to resurfacing. These are unrelated to any alleged failure of proficiency tests by cabin crew or mythical Chinese pilots.

For the record, there is not a single Chinese pilot currently operating for Africa World Airlines. We have Ghanaians, Norwegians, Swedes, Indians and Americans - but no Chinese yet. So once again, I will ask you to kindly verify your facts.

Why is your Chief Operations Officer resigning from the company just one week after it launches? Perhaps it is because he isn't willing to work without pay while the local staff will?
I think you are referring to me here. I am not "resigning" from the company. I have made it very clear here for many months now that my contract with the company lasted until the AOC was issued and that the shareholders intended to bring in new management as the company moved into an operational phase. My contract has provision for a sizeable bonus due to me upon AOC acquisition. I expect to receive it next week and I have no reason to assume it won't be paid as contractually agreed. All staff have been paid their salaries in full (and it isn't even the end of the month yet). So once again, I will ask you to kindly verify your facts.

It disturbs me to see you mudslinging here for no apparent reason. You seem to have a grudge against AWA and are going out of your way to stir up trouble. I can't think of what a brand new airline may have done to upset you already, but I would ask you to please contact us via PM so we could try to resolve the underlying issues.
