I hear through the african aviation grapevine that Mr olu harding has done the disappearing trick owing thousands to employees, lawyers agencies etc. i also hear that he has had his ship impounded due to unpaid 'fees'.
So what of the airline now? was this all a big hoax to get people interested? Pilots conned in to sim rides at their own expense? Building up hopes of a career?
Mr harding certainly hasn't inspired any confidences in african aviation.
So will there ever be an airline to serve the people of SL or is it a pipe dream?
Comments please..........on a post card

To answer one of your questions.
Yes, Sierra Leone can definately do with another flight / airline.
I booked on an SNA flight 3 weeks ago and bought the last ticket.
Friday's flight was 20% over - booked. Monday with SNA is full. So I can just expect that SN Brussels should be the same.
Harding ... that is the name I mentioned quite a while back but he has NO relation to Prince Harding the Transport Minister
!!! Or so they say but we know .... 
Yip a big shame if it does not come off.

Guns my man, seeing that you are right there in the hub of it all, are you aware of the fact Sierra National Airlines has begun operating a wet-leased Airbus A310-304 from Egypt's Midwest Airlines on its London - Freetown scheduled service?
This replaces the agreement with Monarch Airlines which had been operating the service with a Boeing 757. So maybe you will be able to get a seat to Europe more often, golf bag and all, seeing that you can't play golf in Zim anymore!!!!!! Mmmmmm???
Forgot to add GUNS, that ECO AIR, a SL start up carrier has secured an AOC, and will begin operations soon. They will be using B737's initially, but will change to an Airbus A310 later.
Do you think there will be jobs for us in SL with all this civial aviation development? You should become a "recruiter" bru!

Sorry guys I have no more news for anyone. Everything is on hold and after chatting to various people it looks like its going to be a non starter for now.
Shame really as there has been so much effort and work put in by a lot of people.
As to pervy pilots input - I cannot comment - I hope its not true though!!!

Sadly the whole thing has been one big con from start to finish. The agencies, lawyers, employees etc have been left owed thousands with no chance of getting their money back.
