Why am I not surprised? What was Virgin thinking? We have discussed “entrepreneurial characters” before.
Virgin Australia and shadowy partner HNA Group have abandoned plans for their mega flight training school for Chinese pilots in Tamworth. In the latest bizarre twist in the saga, Anthony Klan reports a businessman working with the consortium faces up to 13 years’ jail over a string of serious criminal offences (https://www.northerndailyleader.com.au/story/6674768/backflip-in-court-foxman-admits-to-allowing-indecent-sex-show-in-pub/).
Michael Foxman, who operates a number of businesses in Australia and overseas, has been ordered by a court to leave Tamworth, after being charged with seven offences over eight months, including multiple counts of threatening, or attempting to influence, witnesses.
It was revealed here last year that Virgin Australia and secretive Chinese conglomerate HNA Group had somehow got permission to build a giant training school for Chinese pilots at the Australian Defence Force (ADF) airbase in Tamworth. Foxman is associated with that deal. His charges are unrelated but are the latest bizarre twist in the bizarre flight school project.
