How much is that lot costing? Company hasn’t even earned a penny in revenue. That’s a lot of cash being paid out!

The org chat shows 13 people. Apart from their being too many Chiefs, there are 5 listed for marketing and content. There do not appear many people with the titles:
  • Engineer
  • Project Manager
  • Certification Manager
  • Fit-out Controller
etc. But then, I'm only a humble pax - what do I know ...

Paxboy, this appears to be a "Holiday Swap" company org chart only. But it is not clear what legal entity bit refers to. Global Airlines Ltd and Holiday Swap Ltd both lists as dormant £100 companies owned by Holiday Swap Group and controlled by Asquith. I couldn''t find a similar chart for Global.

Similar companies like HomeExchange, with 450,000 customers, have over 70 employees.

HolidaySwap have had 10,000,000 website hits, no audited accounts and claim to be valued at £400m.

They've had their PR now, time to see what they actually have to offer. They won't get away with running an airline with the same way they seem to have run Holiday Swap.

Do mean on this chart? If so, Sander Eentalu is listed as Chief Technology officer, an Estonian who does seem to have some deep tech background. He has one report, a contractor named Christian Castellanos, shown as Product Design Consultant. US based and his own website describes him as an "Art Director and UX Designer, thinking of strategies, concepts, and experiences for products and campaigns". So doesn't seem like a lot of people doing coding. D

Yep, for a web based company, a single CTO and a single developer? I do hope they have many more hidden workers. But, of course, they don't.

Here's another episode from the comedy show that is Global:

Global Airlines On Lookout For More Airbus A380s | Aviation Week Network

Victoria Moore, ATW's London Editor doesn't apparently have any ability to ask the difficult questions. This rot is just verbatim from the Global pitch deck. What happened to the 'how? when? where?' analysis that journalism usually requires. No surprise to find this sort of lazy reporting in the Daily Mail and The Times - but in a once renowned industry rag? C'mon dear - up your game a bit...

Yes, but when Global is a mega-airline and are looking at where to place their next few thousand dollars' worth of advertising, they would remember how rude ATW were about them when they were starting out, and spend their money elsewhere.

Or something.

Well, ATW were sponsors of Routes Online in IST, so perhaps she was obligated to just parrot that guff?

Her resume on ATW claims 'nearly 20 years’ aviation industry experience, spanning airline ground operations, analytical, journalism and communications roles.'

From that list of jobs, perhaps she's already joined Global's Comms team? (Asquith has certainly placed more emphasis on finding communications people to tell his fairytales than hiring staff with solid knowledge of operations or revenue!)

They are both owned by the same parent company.

Victoria lists anal-ytical journalism as part of her skillset anyway. No kidding.

Similarly, I'm 'on the lookout' for a Gulfstream and a Ferrari...

On a serious note, I remain baffled by this talk of flying the aircraft in from the USA. They purchased the aircraft from Doric with it widely reported that it was 9H-MIP (MSN 006) which, as already noted, is known to have been stored at LDE since March 2021. This article states that Doric were also marketing A6-EDH (MSN 025). However this has been stored at DWC since March 2020. Last time I checked, neither of those airports are in the USA.
