Guys you've got this all wrong - its a new very nice VVIP configured BAe 146 operation based out of BHX owned by a businessman in the construction industry but available for charter in due course.

Talking Cello Aviation

It is correct that the Gill airline had gone bankrupt however my uncle took over the company renaming it Cello. I am proud to say that I am his niece and if there are any problems that you have with the new owner well its tough! Cos he is my uncle and is the greatest of them all and this airline will not go bankrupt!

New company nothing to do with the origional Gill Airways (Gill Aviation LTD)
The only thing they have in comon is the name "GILL" and they are no longer even using this anymore by the looks of it.

CofA issued today so the aircraft should be leaving Southend soon. Where it will go only Cello know but it's been an interesting few months getting the aircraft together.

Ir's still very shiny and as the blog says, still smells of new leather.

Is open for business.........................

Cello Aviation was awarded its AOC and Type A OL on Friday afternoon by the UK CAA.

Well done and best of luck to all involved!

Quote from their website:
We carry many different types of client, such as:

Blue Chip Companies
Football Teams
Motor Racing Teams
Horse Racing Clients
High Profile Personalities
Entertainment Performers
Wedding Parties
Conference & Incentive Groups


A bit naughty as they've only been officially on the go since 12th July and their only advertised charter to date was taking 40 hacks to Germany.

Never mind, good luck to all concerned.

They may have missed a trick by not opting for a more flexible fit - they could do so much more with 70+ seats if they weren't so fussy about who they flew.

Still, early days yet. Go Cello!

Maybe a nicely refurbished Cello 146 gives a better travel experience than a knackered RAF 146?

The ABJ can be fitted with over 80 seats, but Cello has outfitted the aircraft in a luxury configuration using just 46 seats for your enjoyment, plus there's plenty of room for kit in the hold!

Perhaps being sensitive to Irish opinion? The RAF 146 are possibly perceived as being a "military" aircraft?



Against the more "vanilla" Cello aircraft?

Anyone have any idea about how they are doing? I saw them in Poland recently and thought how smart the ABJ looked. Are they likely to expand at all?
