Astac Aviation Solutions
Posted 2/5/2006 @ 16:0


Progresses the establishment of a new airline at Nottingham East Midlands Airport operating Boeing 767 aircraft.

Under the direction of Graham Mimms, Astac Aviation solutions is undertaking much of the development work for the new airline called U.K. International Airlines Limited (UKIA) The work includes the preparation for and submission for the Air Operators Certificate, Airline Operators Licence as well as providing aircraft technical advice

Graham Mimms has put together a team of industry professionals to work on this project including Captain John Barnes (Acting Chief Pilot and Chief Training Captain) and Mervyn Nicholl as Technical advisor. Paul Hinchcliffe is providing UKIA with CAA liaison for financial fitness and licensing arrangements.

John Barnes and Mervyn Nicholl are type rated on Boeing 767 aircraft and both previously worked with Graham Mimms at European Aviation Air Charter where Graham held the post of PA to the Managing Director where he was primarily responsible for the introduction of the Boeing 747 Classic aircraft into the company fleet which operated world wide.

Graham Mimms is also positioning Astac Aviation Solutions to develop other aviation professional training activities in the near future including Crew Resource Management, Airport and Airline Security, Flight Despatch Training and Cabin Service Consultancy.

Their website is xxx.xxx

Websites that sell tickets can help support PPRuNe by contacting: http://www.pprune.org/advert.php . Our paid advertisers prefer it that way.

EMA Start up Airline

Hello pruners
I was looking for information on this start-up airline on pprune this morning, however couldn't see any threads. I had a chat with recruit agency yesterday, though info is a little vague. Apparently they plan to start operations end of October ( a tad ambitious I thought !!!! ), from EMA with 4 x 767, to UAE/ Pakistan. Backers are a wealthy Asian consortium. Are advertising for pilots and engineers, though no mention of cabin crew or any support/admin staff.
Any ideas ?
Long live the dog

I had seen this posted on the Airlines/Airports/Routes "East Midlands EMA" forum recently actually about routes down to/via DXB.

Sadly, with a website like that, nobody will take them seriously. My own websites are more professional looking that this outfit IMHO

Not short of optimism, they have a frequent flyer login
Aircraft image on the site looks like a photoshopped United Airlines

Their technical coordinator is based in Islamabad.
As a crewmember possibly applying for a job, financial fitness and CAA issuance of a valid AOC is the key test. Suggest you request to view the appropriate certificate before spending time and money of your own.
While PPRuNe appreciates the desire to put as much information into these threads as possible we also have Airline advertisers who support PPRuNe by paying for links to their websites. Any other such links are considered unpaid advertisments and will be removed. Bottom line, if the link is to a site which offers direct reservation/ticket sales it is advertising.
Cheers,

UK International Airlines

Was having a look on Flight International at the jobs and this (YET ANOTHER) new UK start up is advertising positions.

I had a look at their website and it appears to be rather GASH to say the least.

I'm guessing the link might get removed but here goes anyway:

So am I slow on the uptake of this one or does anyone know anything about them??

As an experiment I tried to get a price for a flight from LGW to DXB in a few weeks. It either said no flights that day (every day I tried) or if I hit "Next day" it said that date had already passed (it hadn't). So I looked for a schedule to help choose a date - and couldn't immediatly find one. Perhaps they aren't flying anywhere yet?
