Atlantic Star is providing the marketing, communications, branding and capital to support the venture. [see Hereford united].

That does not mean ALL the capital and ALL the support. This is clearly a joint venture in which risks are shared otherwise I doubt if anything would happen at all.

Unlike scheduled transports where two or more airlines are in competition this is a charter. There are no other contenders vying for the proposed route. It us up to you the intending traveller to go or not because the only other way to get there is via South Africa. You have to weigh it all up, how much do you really want to go, how much are you willing to pay and how much loss are you willing to accept if it goes wrong.

Caveat emptor, Hobson's Choice, Buckley's or none all spring to mind. Some contributors have been helpful some less so. You have all had an airing, now vote with your wallets or spend your cash elsewhere. Enough is enough I think. The topic is airlines, airports and routes and we are straying more than slightly.
