Aeolus - Gambia

Hello,

I am looking for any information concerning a company called Aeolus - AOC based in Gambia, flying ACMI in Sudan.

I have an opportunity to work for them...
but yes, I will agree with people that will tell me that following such brief presentation, it doesn't start well !!

Need help !
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Where did you find the job opportunity ?
As always with these obscure companies, BEWARE OF SCAMS.

Someone here will know them if they are legitimate.

NEVER pay anything up front.

Aeolus is legit - have seen many of their aircraft being sent to Sudan to operate for Marsland etc. They are due to start scheduled ops to Dakar in the coming months.

• The African Aviation Tribune •: Aeolus Air

However, contact details, as well as a website are near non-existent. Does any one know how to get in touch with them?

Ted,
They also operate for Tarco, which I didn't know until a few days.
From what I understand, 2 or 3 B737CL, and 1 A320...
Talking about that A320, many things look strange, like where it goes, the maintenance, the crew etc...
It has been impossible for me to have owners name (AOC/aircraft).

Ancient Geek,
I find that opportunity through my network in Sudan, Marsland Airways.
Believe me, I know well what is a scam, and I never paid a cent to get a job.

Now, if somebody can have more information, like who is behind Aeolus, same for Tarco, do that A320 really fly in Sudan, anything that could help to show that as a serious business, or not....

Thanks !

You are both welcome...however some nights ago when i posted the link here, all site was working fully and normal...tonite every field and link it requests a kind of "password"...strange
However if you use the mode "Google Cache" on your browser, it still could be viewed.

There is an A320 involved in flying diamonds out of Zimbabwe.........

Metromane, unless there is some other A320 involved in ZW diamond ops, what you're referring to is the China-Sonangol A320:

• The African Aviation Tribune •: ► ZIMBABWE: China Sonangol denies its A320 being used for diamond smuggling.
