We are a new UK based airline. Our Head Office is based in Sheffield. Our initial flights will be to Pakistan & Sharjah (U.A.E) from Nottingham East Midlands Airport. Later on we will have other destinations.

More tosh from someone whose prime interest in the industry is fantasising about building a website and hosting aircraft pictures...
I refer to my earlier comments on the (unbelievably still flying) BNWA.

Hi guys talking of UKIA I have been offered the job as a cabin crew with them and yes they do seem genuine and they are looking to start in Feb'07. Their first aircraft will be in NEMA by end of December or First week of Janaury it seems.

The address listed for UKIA on one of their 2 websites, 308-318 Queens Road in Sheffield, appears to be a block of furniture stores.

It is somewhat disturbing to see that people have been 'hired'. Was the hiring process electronic or telephonic?
Hope the applicants haven't had any out of pocket expenses yet.

No the hiring was not done either electronic nor telephonic we were called and had some group activities and also one to one interview with the owners itself along with the cabin crew manager. Yes they own the entire building and also the furniture store and the third floor in that building is the airline office.

Before you quit your job on the strength of the UKIA offer it might be worth checking with the CAA if they have an AOC and with the DofT if they are on the ASC as a designated carrier.
To the best of my knowledge the only airlines who hold international route licences and landing / traffic rights at ISB and KHI are PIA, BA, AeroAsia,Shaheen and AirBlue.

If you look at the 3 private Pakistan carriers they all harbour ambitions to operate to the UK.
Their differences with UKIA are obvious: they are already operating and hold landing and traffic rights at ISB and KHI. They are all, alledgedly, examining opportunities to compete with PAI and sourcing aircraft, although Shaheen are apparently more interested in either a code share or joint venture. Air Blue and AeroAsia have been looking for suitable Airbus aircraft, however, the market is fairly hard at the moment.
Whether any of them go it alone remains to be seen.
Of course there is also Royal Bengal Airline, a new UK venture with plans to operate to Dacca.
