You were warned!
Rumor from Kano is that all Western pilots have snuck away in the middle of the night during the break before Hajj starts! The pay problems are back again and everyone who departed was owed salary and/or allowances.
The planes are junk this season. There was no maintenance performed during the off season and the entire fleet is un-airworthy.
What will keep Max Air on the ground this year:
1) The Saudi government banning all flights from Nigeria due to the Ebola outbreak.
2) The Saudi GCAA banning Max Air due to the horrendous condition of their planes.
3) No pilots to fly Max's junk planes.
