Anyone know what the story is with britflight in Lakeland?

I have sent them a few emails and haven't heard anything back from them-
I know that Jatin, the owner, got an airline job and maybe they aren't operating anymore?!?

can anyone shed any light?

They used to operate as Britannia Flight Centre. Visa complications forced them to shut a few years ago. However, by hooking up with Lakeland Air Service they were able to obtain visa approval and re-opened. Jatin and his co-owner, George Orive expressed seemed pretty keen on getting airline jobs when I last spoke to them, but that was a while back. I wouldn't be surprised if they are no longer operating. The aircraft were at Lakeland Air Service when I passed by a month ago though. Contact Lakeland Air Service if you are interested in finding out the full story.
