Great Dane airlines.

Just heard that Great Dane airlines, have just ceased operations, due to COVID and the effect it’s had on the aviation industrySuch a shame as those colleagues of mine who had dealings with them, said they were extremely professional outfit to work for.
As well as there own charter network, they also set leased their aircraft to operators and were one of the first to supply both aircraft and crew to Bamboo airways in Vietnam, whilst they recruited their own crew and whilst awaiting delivery of their own aircraft.

That's really sad indeed. They have a few aircraft parked up at my local Norwich airport uk, been there for many months.

Seemed a very niche airline indeed.

It’s not really a new idea. They quickly gave up on the limited schedule flights and went for operating for others. Tour agencies and they did some work for Bamboo in Vietnam for a while.

Just obviously the tour operator work dried up last year and hasn’t fully recovered probably didn’t help them.

They probably should have tried to get more in to private charters but Denmark already has Sun Air for that side of things.

I thought their aircraft had been flying all October and are now parked up in Billund and Copenhagen?

I think Eigild Bodker Christensen probably did actually, through his company SEBC II ApS.

I've advised a number of potential start-ups over the years and in a number of cases the Principal (owner) of the business was going to invest his own money. I cannot remember any case where I recommended that he do so!
