Not sure why Atlas would want Martin. Article mentions "it's European base". If they did persue MP, GSS would be used as a glove puppet I guess. No idea. Like I said, they were mentioned in a few articles as only one of many companies interested and sounds like its going no where.

Convincing the European control commissions that the majority stakeholder has effective control and not just having it's string's pulled would take some doing. I don't think it is big news as KLM-AF can't seem to make their mind up what to do with Martin.

I did read that Atlas do want to hang onto the UK AOC for what reason is not clear -but without the regulatory aircraft to fulfil the requirement it is going to be very difficult. Short article also attached...
