I never understood the idea of an airline like flyGlobespan having it's own handling agent.
I thought the idea was to contract out these kind of services. Was Aviance so bad that neither Menzies or Servisair was considered?

The onus, if legal action were brought against you, would be for you to prove what you say. There is no need for me to disprove it.
Yet you can't disprove what I say

Maybe the thinking of Dalrymple was because he owned Alba, he could also chase other contracts on behalf of Alba. Making him even more money in the process. (There was allegedly interest from Loganair & Flybe wanting Alba to do the ground handling.) Alba was 'allegedly' to get the Flybe contract in March. Which is why we were always told FlyGlobespan & Alba Groundhandling were different companies and were always kept separate. So much for that.

I dont think either Menzies or Flybe/Loganair will take over Alba, I dont think Menzies have the cash and Flybe/Loganair wont go self handling. Its more likely to be Swissport or Flight Support Services.

E-Clear in administration order
No great suprise here
courtesy of Travelmole
An order for the administration of payment processing firm E-Clear was made by the High Court yesterday (Tuesday).
The move by Mr Justice Vos followed the failure of EClear to submit evidence of funds of £35 million on Friday related to the collapse of Scottish operator Globespan.
BDO has been appointed administrator.
PricewaterhouseCoopers administrator for Globespan Bruce Cartwright said: “Over the last month we have sought financial reassurance from EClear and are disappointed that the funds are no longer there.
“We will now work closely with BDO to maximise the situation for Globespan creditors under exceptional circumstances.
“Those who bought services on credit card or visa debit, that have not been supplied, will continue to be protected by consumer card legislation and should contact their credit card issuer.”

Interesting to see that the squeaky clean Sir Edward Du Cann is Chairman of the
E-Clear advisory board.
That should have rung bells from the day he was appointed.
No comment from E-Clear as £35m deadline passes
