SNA was NOT full
What about an answer mate ?
Crewmeal et al
Latest from here : No ECO Air - No Operations on / before SL Independance Day (next week) - things this side sounds very quite ... very ...
Send me the details of the "finished compound" and I will send you details and pics if close to me.
PS: There are about a 100 "finished compounds" so as close as possible.
Anything else I can assist?
Weather : best of the year now. Very hot but clear days - Harmattan is basically gone. We had one storm on Monday (first of the season) and BEER is ICE Cold (as ever)
If ..

Gunship - not too sure where the location is but suspect its the old Swiss complex that has been done up. Hopefully will be able to come out and have a reccky sooner rather than later.
Fraid the boat has been missed regarding 27th April. Am still waiting for more news but am busy working from home.
Africanhope - Nope no names til I get the ok from those concerned.
To be honest I feel its a case of 'when' - not 'if' as to when it all happens.

Hello folks.
Have been told that the company is still waiting for the correct a/c.
And the delays will continue until the correct craft is found.
I have not been given a time scale which is very frustrating.
Has anyone got more definate news or updates?
BTW. Gunship
Did you get a chance to get a few pic's of the compound that Crewmeal was talking about?
If you can it would be greatly appreciated. And when we get down there, I'll bring some carlsberg for ya.

Can anyone please confirm...
1. This is a NEW 'start-up' operation?
2. It is not linked with Sierra National Airlines / SNA?
3. What the actual routes are that they are planning to fly?
Thanks.

Good News
Ok guys ... more good news.
ECO Air's AOC was approved.
They also have ECO Travel and ECO Marine under their controle.
Main investor is the Harding's .. not the Minister it was clearly told to me ...
They are sending up a team to the UK to inspect 2 x B737's.
Rumour has it from "FAST AEROSPACE"
Latest : start - up date .. June 03.
I hope the best for you guys but look at my other thread re the SNA / Monarch rumour !
Never heard of a 28 Acre Swiss Complex / Compound like this guys ... my Swiss friend is not available now but I have phoned friend and foe and nobody knows about it. PM me an address please - I will help where I can but I am at the end of the road with that one
Where the Swiss consulate lives is a 4 Acre complex with 3/4 houses and ONE Pool !
Will keep you updated as I leave on SNA tomorrow night.
Cheers

Hey gunns.
Hope you enjoy the two week break.
Crewmeal:
Is there any chance that you have any more information about start dates or any other information relating to the start up of Ecoair. Or at least info that you can share with the rest of us?
Best regards.

crewmeal thanks for the updates we are so hungry for news that we can eat any thing .thanks once more gunns looking forward to try the beer there but tell me guys is it time to think of the intervews what kind of people they are looking for? and are they planing a well recognized airline that will gain the customer and keep them for long or is it just another carrier that give you a seat and a meal thanks again and bless you both.

As I see it - a lot of cash has been invested so far. Rather than rush into things like a bull at a gate, let the money be spent wisely instead of loosing like some carriers do.
The main obstickle is out of the way and that's gaining the AOC. Lets all be patient and hope there is some news soon
If anyone wants to message me about anything please feel free to do so.

He said all is still online. Apparantly the "Harding" boss / investor is right now in Europe busy with the acceptance checks on the aircraft.
Sorry delayed in SA .. should be back in SL by next weekend and can inform you guys better then.
Good luck and best wishes ..

Rumor's
Heard they are searching for a/c but get denied because they don't put the money up front (want credit) but no one in their right mind would lease a/c to that part of the world only with promises of payment ?
