Question Blue Fox Back?

Just noticed that the Blue Fox web-site (down since Sept) seems to be struggling back to life. Anyone know any news?

Unhappy

I said it already a year ago: DEAD DUCK! Would have struggled in a booming economy; has no chance in the present climate, unless perhaps they seriously revise their business plan. But, even then..........

The website seems just as pie-in-the-sky as it always did. When they get a decent management team in instead of a bunch of jargon-spouting suits, then I'll believe it.

It would be nice to know what exactly is going on Especially in terms of recruitment for both pilots and cabin crew. It has the potential to be a good airline but only if there is information that gets released. maybe the bogus web site could give and address or perhaps a phone number. If we're really lucky we may even hear something through the airline press. Or if we're even extreemly lucky one of the people who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, whos neighbours cousins has a friend of a friend whos flatmates Dads next door neighbour saw one of the directors as they were walking down the street who might have heard something as they were passing by them, if thats the case it may get posted here at pprune, but one can only hope eh?

Thumbs up BLUE FOX 2

Blue Fox is not only back but has undegone a name change So I have been told. They have just got and agreement with European to buy them out "I heard this first hand from a guy in Europeans office" Expected announcement in 3-4 weeks. Theres a lot of excitement down at European at the moment. Blue Fox are being supported by AIB and RBS plus a private investor.

When you say European do you mean EAAC out of BOH, if so their not what I would call a classy outfit, or will it be. They got no idea out being a vip operator, from first hand experience.

I Await your reply. or PM me

EAAC may not look that good from the inside, however they can attempt classy - have a loook at the daily Palmair operation they do ex BOH. NOt a bad attempt for an old 737 2. It is all about perception and they can do that bit...

Hello Boys and Girls and fellow citizens of Wibble,

The on going saga and rumours about European seem to continue and have started to become very far-fetched!

So Blue fox has changed its name eh? Will this supposed airline ever start up?

For an airline that keeps going on about a new or nearly new Boeing 767 fleet why would they be interested in an operation that has 20plus year old 747-200's and even more interesting, what about the 737-200's, what will Blue Fox be doing with them?

Nothing mentioned on their website. Has anyone found an Address or Phone number yet?

IT IS ALL A FARCE, A CON, A HOAX, A JOKE, A WIND UP whatever you want to call it.

The Blue Fox website has been the same and has not changed for well over 2 years.

Fokker 70 was just asking if Chaplin meant EAAC out of BOH, According to Blue Fox web site new operation with 767 but chaplin mention poss new deal with European was just asking if he meant EAAC thats al.

And no I would not call Europeans vip operation CLASSY in fact I have worked VVIP flight and their service is very old and not upto vip standards by any means.

AND NOT TRYING TO START ANOTHER EUROPEAN SAGA it was just a question

They're probably trying to buy the Formula One team.

Hello Boys and Girls and fellow citizens of Wibble,

CHAPLIN,

A bet for one weeks wages? You don't work for EAAC do you? That bet isn't worth taking, even at odds of 20-1.
