Hans Airways
Hopefully it will be awarded imminently. Just operating permissions from India to win. That could be a bigger challenge than the AOC!

Yes the A330 went out to Oceanic entry point and then crew training at PIK and DSA. Not expecting any issues with rights etc to India.
Well if there is a 'race' between the current clutch of would be UK - Subcontinent operators Hans are well ahead of FlyPop. Slapping a snazzy paint job on your aircraft may not have proven to be right priority, nice though the FlyPop A330 looks!

the cabin on the route proving A330 looks ‘naff’. Even the kitchen towel disposable head rest covers don’t look inspiring. The price and huge luggage allowance better be the selling point for the ‘Indian Secondary Cities’
I would suspect that the selling point on BHX/ATQ is going to be price, followed by price. An all singing all dancing cabin, certainly in 'cattle class' will come in a distant third.

It seems from companies house that the chairman, Ruchir Verma, resigned on Friday.

That’s cant be very reassuring to the AOC committee as he was a large shareholder?

What is of far greater concern is that still no start date has been set, and no revenue is being generated. Air India meanwhile is bolstering their schedule between ATQ and BHX and the question now is has Hans Airways missed their window of opportunity.
That said, it is probably more likely that he isn't happy with the progress of the business and had a difference of opinion with the board level decisions.
Whatever, such changes don't do anything to make the employees feel secure.

Hearing worrying rumours about Hans Airways.people who were offered jobs ,now being told their positions are not now being offered.
hopefully its just a glitch, but with the aircraft having sat at BHX for weeks now and no start date being announced it does seem a liitle concerning

If they are going belly up it wouldn't come as a big surprise to me as Air India has already stolen a march with their soon to be 3 x weekly direct ATQ service to BHX.
Or potentially "two down, one to go", (the mob planning services out of LBA having already disappeared)
FlyPop is further back down the line than Hans Airways, and it'll only take Air India to rekindle their ATQ-STN operation for that outfit to be threatened with hitting the buffers.

Indeed, I still can’t get my head around why so many people squander so much cash trying to get completely unworkable airlines off the ground!
