Durham Tees Valley Airport has Lodged a Petition to wind up EirJet

[EI-BED]

The Sunday Business Post / Sunday 19th March

A Manchester airport will go to the High Court later this month in an effort to shut down a Shannon based charter airline. Durham Tees Valley Airport has lodged a petition to wind up EirJet, a company headed by former Ryanair accountant Paul Schutz. The case is due to be heard by the High Court on March 27. According to recent accounts EirJet has retained losses of almost €180,000 for the year ending September, 30 2004.

Didn`t know that Eirjet came to any Manchester airports on a regular basis

People posting in this thread are referring to "a" or "any" Manchester airports - I only know of three - Ringway, Woodford and Barton (I think I got the names correct) only one of which is capable of handling Eirjet. So I take it you're all referring to Ringway?

Manchester own East Midlands, Humberside and Bournemouth also!

A creditor of a company - especially where it has retained losses and few assets - is within their rights to obtain a petition to wind up a company. This has nothing to do with people ganging up on anyone, but is to ensure that businesses can recover their rightful monies.


Do you always consider affiliation of companies based upon logos? How about a more reasoned approach, else one might link BA and Nike.

Manchester Airport is a PLC owned by Manchester city council and other shareholders these being the other metropolitan borough councils that make up Greater Manchester. As I understand it, British Airways has nothing to do with ownership of the airport, apart from a stake in the empty BA hangar, if they did it would become one big shuttle airport feeding LHR !

Sorry missed the above link !

DTV is owned by Peel Group, who also own Doncaster Robin Hood and most of the North of England, hence the possible confusion..

And DoncSheff has a logo nothing like DTV or John Lennon, so I shouldn't associate two or more companies by their logos.

Could it be from last summer? An Eirjet A320 was based at DTV for around 24 hours every week last summer (op'd [DUB-]MME-REU-BFS-REU-MME-BJV-MME[-DUB] most weeks)

Any Update from the court case on the 27th?

A bit late, but found this THIS STORY (http://www.businessworld.ie/livenews.htm?a=1386383;s=rollingnews.htm). It seems Eirjet payed up and it never went to the high court.

Guess the next question will be whether Eirjet has to pay landing fees to the MoD for Ballykelly! ;)

Or another question would be will Eirjet still fly to MME this summer after all this?

Whilst away in Jamaica on hols in January, saw an article saying Eirjet had defaulted on payments to Air Jamaica for leasing one of their A320s. Is the Ballykelly incident a nail in their coffin?

Perhaps they put the aeroplane into Ballykelly to hide it from the bailiffs?
