Any remaining staff have now been made redundant and with no pay.
i have no clue if its true or false, just wondering if thats from an insider who was one of the unfortunate to get made redundant, or just a rumour?

I am completely leavijg the aviation industry now. I have left the new job, the travel was too much and I nearly crashed car on way home, so a warning to me. So bye bye airlines. I have to say, the last year hanging around for NOW has taught me one thing. Don't trust anything until it happens.

Although i would like to believe the funding has been raised, excuse me for saying it, but i doubt it, after a call to LW yesterday he told me himself there was only a skeleton group left to TRY and get the funding, its just as well i found somewhere i love so much, all i have to say is good luck to the rest of the NOW team, and i hope that after 2 years of trying LW gets what hes wanted for so long! just a chance to succeed.
Good luck NOW

Exactly. An answerphone message. Nobody actually picked up your call....... Funny how they don't answer calls, e-mails or letters.
Creditors means the likes of LLA for rent on the building, BT for phone rental and probably a few others who ain't being paid

From Now's Website............
Following the problems with completing the agreed funding for the Now Airlines project, the launch has been deferred until further notice.
Now Airlines Ltd has been put into receivership and any contacts should be made directly to
The Official Receivers Office, 1st Floor Trident House 42-48 Victoria Street St Albans AL1 3HR
A plan for the re-structuring of the group is being considered.
We obviously regret the measures taken, particularly in respect of the tremendous support from staff, partners and suppliers, and all the good efforts for Now to happen.
We do of course realise this announcement is very disappointing. However, we have an excellent team behind us and we hope that as a result of our efforts a strong airline will emerge for our passengers, staff and shareholders alike.

teachin - give it up mate, NOW mark 1 couldn't get off the ground so how do you think mark 2 will ?
Boris a touch of go in there somewhere !
At the bottom of the NOW home web page is an e-mail address [email protected] but I wouldn't expect a reply. I would imagine that LW has gone home to ponder things. If the e-mail re-routes to either him or another ex employee, again, I doubt a reply will come through. I would have thought though that all correspondance would now have to pass by the receiver !!

Nice of LW to let his so called, excellent team know about this, i thought the word TEAM meant communication, among many other things,

Trainer 2- NOW did actually get aircraft. G-IGOE was at the stage of being painted up when it all went a bit sour. But someone at the stage of paperwork hand over dragged their feet and it all unravelled.
