Can somebody give some inside info on V-bird:

Q1: I know that Mr Roberto Stinga is the front man of this outfit, but is it truethat they have some :mad: investors like the IMCA group behind them??? It is said that Airbus was so pissed off by the behaviour of IMCA group and mr de Vlieger and Mr Prins in the ripping up of Air Lib in France that they do not want anything to do with these guys..... and thus has V-bird some fake investors as front men....

Q2: do people realise that if you want to do a MAN CPH you will have to swap planes at Niederrein.... :*

Q3: are the load factors on V-bird still as low as when they started and if so how long will they survive??? :confused:

Not easy to find good info on V Bird. Only thing heard recently is that loads are not meeting expectations!

Does anyone know what handling agent they will be using and which terminal. I assume terminal one.

Any one in the know???

MAN's website says V-Bird will operate from T1.

I was in EDLV the other day and the load factor seemed pretty high. Lost of movements at Niederrhein compared to last month.

Last week VBird CEO R. Stinga told the press about the great start of his airline and that they had transported already 50.000 pax on 2.000 flights - which amounts to an average load factor of approx 15% in an Airbus A320..... If this outfit is not a money laundering structure, the death bell must be ringing....
