Koral Blue Airlines Egypt AOC suspended.....

I received information that the AOC of Koral Blue Airlines (Cairo Egypt) has been suspended by the Egyptian C.A.A. as of today,
Can anybody who knows please send me some information as I was planning to go and work for them.
You can also PM me.

Thanks,

I do confirm this
Their AOC has been suspended by the ECAA as a result of a physical fight that took place between a captain and his first officer

one of the share holders and founders ( Also owner of Karthago airlines at Tunisia) is now at Cairo with all the High management negotiating with the ECAA on how to regain their AOC !

Rumors say that things will be back to Normal very soon and they will regain their AOC and operates normally

My friend, a pilot there, told me on the phone this morning that they suspended their operations for 48 hours and resumed normal operations yesterday. Apparently, it was because of the misunderstanding they had with French passengers refusing to board a flight, not because of a fight. What's your source for the story about the fight?

my version comes from a friend whose brother works there and also from another friend who works at the operations there
I think they are operating now by Cairo Aviation Aircrafts (Tupelovs) until they solve their AOC problems

Do you mean 5th aircraft? The airline have 4 aircraft in their fleet (3x A320s and 1x A319). The 4th one (SU-KBD) was delivered in December 2009.

You are correct Airmemphis
They received their 5th aircraft and there was an advertisment last Friday in Al Ahram newspaper looking for captains, first officers for immediate upgrade, Licensed flight dispatchers and flight attendants

The fourth aircraft (SU-KBD) has been flying since February.

The fifth aircraft hasn't been delivered yet. The ex-Iberia model (EC-HQK) is still stored in Madrid.
