Wrong, The-Boob but it's always easy to take a cheap shot when you can't debate the issue further.

Like I thought you are now saying that IATA don't pay for charter flights direct to the charter operator. Logic says there is no way they get involved in individual transactions. They may pay for charter flights to the Airline that has sold the tickets and who Startegic operate on behalf on ie. Solomons. and wouldn't you love them holding your money for you.

Th only way for Strategic to get paid direct is if they are the operating Airline and Solomons are selling/buying tickets on them and that may be the case. Good on Strategic if that is the case but my comment on load factor risk applies.

At the end of the day I really couldn't care less as I don't fly for anyone who are in any way affected directly but it still doesn't add up.

Like I said, I will check with contacts in IATA and will happily say I was wrong.

You have a good day.

Sumsum and his buddies at it again by the looks of things.
When will the people learn to not get conned over and over?

Beautiful place getting taken for all its worth by the wrong people.... shame.


lordofthewings - container loading, good point.
Bet that would be something Sumsum and his buddies havn't thought of! Wonder what would happen if the A320 shows up one day and it can't be unloaded!
Only marginally better than the E-170 and 732 leaving the bags in BNE..........

Strategic and IE

IATA will be out of the picture shortly as IE will lose membership...gotta do IOSA to retain that.......perhaps Strategic will buy IE and take it over...could work if the current crew running the show are moved on. Paying bills and compliance not a high priority at IE...not even a low one.
So much for Sumsums deal with Airlines PNG.

Wouldn't be the first time that's happened! Bob Hawke diverted his B707 to Honiara to bring the Prime Minister of the day back from some conference. There were no steps/equipment at Henderson Field high enough to get the Prime Minister off with any dignity. Solair engineers came to the rescue with a hastily built piece of equipment which was finished just as the aircraft was landing.

Jet Fixer,

This is what is on the IATA Website.

Iata/iosa

You dont have to pass IOSA audits to remain a member of IATA.

It simply reduces your expense by reducing the amount of auditing required on external suppliers.

AUS to HIR...PB, OA, PX, FJ, NF and now Strategic (have I forgot any carriers).

Just one PAE
Scheduled freighter service that's been running for the past 15 odd years,
Rain hail or sunshine unlike other wannabes who claim to have been servicing the freight route ?
