Its true!!
They are planning to start up in 4-6 weeks. 2 x 747-400 for now. Based in JHB and a further 744 for next year.
Flying to Europe and back. Next year to include South America.
Should be good, it appears all the first option seats are taken, wait for the next crew...

I really hope that this is not another CIVAIR, taking passengers money as issuing tickets long before the aircraft arrives.
Scares the
t out of me since the same crowd of EX SAA retired crew that was involved with CIVAIR is now also in the seat for these guys.
Pity that these ex SAA retired pilots get to operate these aircraft. It passed my mind what they are going to do about the 60 years of age rule in Europe.
I think these boys should just retire and fly their kites on weekends, give the youngsters a chance!!!!

Not so sure the youngsters are going to feel the same when reaching the age of 60 and told their days are at an end in the industry and they have still a s$%tload to contribute.
Know quite a few guys at that point now and can tell u that they would be a premature loss to all of us who are still learning should they be unfairly booted out of a way of life that is their passion.
Get real......at what age does a lawyer, doctor. dentist, president etc have to throw in the towell. As long as fitness is not a factor.....keep on going...U have my vote.

Cantoun Airlines.....
So Far, 20% investment by Mark Shuttleworth, 40% European Investment and 40% by West African petroleum in Ghana. The Aircraft will be registered in Ghana and will be 2 x EX Malaysian B747-400 combis. Routes will be JNB-ACC-LGW and JNB-ACC-HOU.
Thats all I got for now,

Jangys dude.....just where did you get this info from ?
A exhaustive search on the world wide wait has produced nada, zip, zero, niks, nu.....thing.
Buddies in ALPA have not heard squat and same goes for buddies at JIA......
Seems that if this Cantaun or whatever it's name is,indeed IS going to emerge then it is a better kept secret than George Micheal's sexual preferences....

this sounds remarkably like a Boag/Butler set up. why the ghana registration? crew employed by boag international also resigned from their jobs and were given contracts to operate on a ghana aoc.nothing but a lot of really dissapointed people left now.a search on google using the spelling cantoun brings up another forum with the same info about ownership but little else.

Well, why always have negative feelings about a new operator, see how 1Time has gone from success to success in a year's time, seen in Mauritius AND Baghdad!!!
Life is full of surprises, who wants to fly to Gatwick, rather busy and overcrowded Heathrow?? AND other destinations !!
Why should a new operator make itself known so the opposition can try to " slaughter " it and keep its R6.5 bn .......in the red......
Keep on guessing..... look at the sky in a few months, and keep a positive attitude!!
From the flying world somewhere, Indonesia, or Hawaii, or Bankok, or Pakistan, or New York!!! for new bussiness and landing rights....!!!
