Pelican Air Services

[grjplanes]

I read today that Pelican is getting an ATR-42 for services between JNB and Vilanculous sometime in July or August. They will then combine flights to operate 1 daily flight. Do they actually also fly between MQP and Vilanculous as stated, or is it just depending on passengers?

Owned by 'The AA Partnership", msn 139, ex-Rossair and EuroManx (among others) machine.

Will be operated by Solenta, who now apparently own a stake in Federal Air.
:D

[putt for dough]

Solenta will indeed be operating the ATR for Pelican.
Well done chaps!
It was only a matter of time before the other ATR operator
c:mad: ed it up.

If only some operators would learn:ugh:

Schweet...

Quite true, the other operator who lost out on that contract has no crew for their ATR's. due to a recent spate of ATR drivers resigning after the company introduced a very dubious new salary taxation structure. I think they only have 1 captain and 2 FO's under training for both aircraft.

Yet again a case of the finance department messing around in flight ops, very much like the old Rossair days just before things went t1ts up :=
