xclusive jet charter

Hi

Doing background checks on the above company and they have gone into liquidation - but seem to still be active on charter website - looking to place charter work from southampton but feeling nervous - any ideas?

Mickey mouse ops - avoid. ..

Xclusivejet Charter and Management Ltd went into liquidation on May 31st 2017
They had debts of around £500K, around half owed to HMRC.

A different company, XJC Limited now operates as xclusivejets.com , with one of the directors of this company also previously a director of the failed company.
Doesn't inspire confidence

Oh will avoid. How can they continue to trade? Suppose all staff are owed too will avoid thanks chaps

I would say give them a ring and find out what the score is. I flew for them for a few years, and whilst not perfect I didnt have too many complaints. When I left in 2013 things were actually improving quite a bit. Unfortunately, I dont know anything about the liquidation. That came as a bit of a shock to read.

They used to operate XRS VQ-BNP whose owner mysteriously died in a Washington hotel room.

But they already had issue before, e.g. renewing the ARC of that aircraft in the spring 2014 due to invoicing issue with the Bermuda CAA...

dudleymoore - Steve Loveridge by any chance?

I flew for them for some time. They were nowhere near as bad as some operators! No-ones perfect though :)

Can see the person mentioned resigned shortly after co went into liquidation so will not be trading with either party. I like bills to be paid and not have my clients stranded due to operator debts - yep that has happened to me and I bailed the charter co out - never again

I would believe you, however the fact that in your previous posts dudleymoore, you recommend you Xclusive, i'm rather inclined to stick to my conclusion. :E:}

Have a good Christmas!

Sad to hear they have gone into liquidation. Mind you, as a previous operator of one of my aircraft, they were quite happy to use me as a "Bank" most months, i.e. pay late, never pay, and so on. A really shabby way to deal with their owners who had put trust in the company.. :-(
