Eac/air Luxor

[UFGBOY]

Advert in Flight this week for EAAC B747 crew based LGW/MAN/BHX - is the phoenix about to rise ? - (and have LGW been paid their fees!) - and BHX? interesting

Rumour also of Air Luxor doing MAN-Carribean charters...

[AIRWAY]

Hello,

There is also a letter of intent between Air Luxor and Virgin so that Air Luxor can operate Virgin Nigeria flights initially.

[chiglet]

watp,iktch

[Lil' Pilot]

When does Virgin Nigeria starts flying?

[rmo757]

Interesting guess this is on the A330 ?
Any idea when it starting

I think Air Luxor have an A330 based in the UK as they currently operate the Falklands flight for the UK Government.

[Ex Oggie]

they currently operate the Falklands flight for the UK Government

Do 'Shiny 216' not do these with the Tristars anymore then?

[Jason King]

LGW may have been paid but none of the staff or crew have, the CVA payments have ceased

[AIRWAY]

they currently operate the Falklands flight for the UK Government

That is correct - A330 CS-TQF

the Tristars anymore then

Ex Oggie

Their L1011 have been sold to a Portuguese Charter Airline LuzAir ( not Loser )

[GOLDEN LION]

CVA

You say LGW has been paid, what about the other UK airports. Also what about Eurocontrol...... Not sure about this so await a reply from them in the know , can EAC currently fly under there own flight numbers or can they only operate ACMI.

Also I assume they will be coming out of CVA soon or are they already ????

[GOLF-INDIA BRAVO]

Ozzie means the 216Sqd Tristars I think
not Air Luxors

G-I-B

[AIRWAY]

Ahh i see, sorry my mistake then

[Harrier46]

Have heard a whisper European still owes the US Govt for passenger taxes etc so don't expect to see them there in the near future.

[Ex Oggie]

G-I-B

Yup, thats right. I know we used to charter HL with the Antonovs for specialist tasks, but wasn't aware that the MoD had sub contracted other civilian operators to supplement/replace the Tristars.

Can anyone tell me what is left of the Air Luxor Light services that Air Luxor was using its A319/A320 aircraft for, with flights from Porto & Lisbon? I know the flights were never very full, but I think that's due to bad marketing at this end, because I only saw ONE advert, and that was in the time out guide to budget travel last year.

Also, any news on EAAC's expansion? I did hear seat-only sales rumours and the MD-80 family. Any more ...

[MSF]

Ex Oggie,
4624, I presume?

[Ex Oggie]

MSF

and certainly not missing their current tasking & deployments!............

[UFGBOY]

BHX/EAAC

But nobody knows why they want BHX/MAN/LGW crews for 747...................................

[moonburn]

Hi chaps.
Was concerned to hear that EAC have not paid their classic crews, I was thinking about responding to latest advert but would like to know what kind of people I am dealing with.
Does anyone out there know WIHIH ? I note that the previous
fleet management has changed, was this by commom agreement or did the company "dump " them for their own purposes ?
As an ex-atlantic baron's, prematurely retired technical advisor.
I would be grateful for any input. Especially from you Mr E.

Greetings Ex Oggie from the other ex-oggie on Pprune

Mentioned recently on another thread is that MoD is looking to let a Contract for the SA schedule for a further 2 years....

Luxor have been doing it for a while, and before that bmi (also with 330) - quite a while since 216 have flown pax services on the route now.

Not too difficult to work out why.

Sorry for thread creep!
