Skytrans has advertised for its fourth CEO in 18 months. Word behind closed doors in FNQ is that Skytrans Mk2 is pretty close to folding. Hope this isn’t the case.

With the federal assistance they are pretty well propped up. Looks like they have been given over $5mill, plus if they need more there is still some $$$$ left in the kitty.

There's no end to your inside track Paragraph; we should bin off CASA audits and just ask you how an airline's going.

Actually, you aren’t far off the mark. I have connections to many parts of the industry. Why are you being so precious anyway? This is a ‘rumour net work’ and I’m just relaying a fairly strong rumour that’s circulating within the finance and business sections in FNQ. I don’t want them to be in financial hardship, and it’s quite possible that they aren’t. Just a rumour mate.

minigundiplomat won’t like you insinuating that they may have some challenges or for that matter some ‘struggles’.
