Strategic Airlines
Apart from Defence, I think a couple of Federal Govt departments (Immigration and PM's??) also use one of the name entities to source charter aircraft.
Surely an organisation the size of the Govt and with the expertise it has within, one would have to ask why it's necessary to go through third parties to secure charter aircraft? The money some people are profiting from the Govt would be enough to hire a dozen or so aviation experts to do this necessary work at a considerable saving and benefit to the taxpayer.
The bloke from the Fairfax group (SMH and THe Age) obviously has some good contacts but I hope he can dig deeper as the txpayer is far frm well served. Business as usual?.

According to this article the French DGAC has revoked Strategic's AOC today.
It is in French so you will need to use a translator
Tour Hebdo - site officiel - Transport : Strategic Airlines clouée au sol par la DGAC
In any case things are not looking good all round.

3 Holer,
I think you will find it is not Cobham.
This will be the beginning of the end for both these organisations. Can't say I will be sorry to see it happen but feel for any staff that are just innocent parties.

Google Translation of French Article
AIR Airlines Strategic pinned down by the DGCA Published 9/13/2010 1:00:00 p.m. | The two Airbus A320 Strategic Airlines should remain on the ground starting Wednesday, the AOC maturing on that date . The Directorate General of Civil Aviation did not wish to renew, the company does not meet the standards required. Strategic Management of Airlines we contacted, admits that his documentary responses were requested by the civil aviation but swears that flight safety is assured. The flights scheduled in the coming weeks - 200 hours per aircraft per month - could have an impact on programs of tour operators who have hired this company. The double cross of Lyon on July 11 last flight STZ 621 of the company Strategic Airlines flights to Tenerife - and especially his way of managing - has certainly been the trigger for such non-renewal of AOC. Chartered by Fram, the flight could not leave on Saturday morning after a hydraulic problem. On Sunday morning, it detected a crack on the windshield, and necessitating its replacement has again delayed the departure of the aircraft. The two A320s are among the first built and had once stolen the colors of Air Inter. Strategic Airlines, subsidiary of an Australian startup that won contracts for transportation of personnel from the Australian Army in its overseas operations (Middle East, Afghanistan), has received his permit to fly August 13, 2009. She wanted to address both medium-haul network than long-haul Airbus A330 aircraft with an announcement for this winter. T.V.

Yet another article on this matter....
evilC,
Just thought you'd liketo know that the 737 you claimed Our Airline "had sold to pay their bills" is back operating on the Norfolk route.
CASA wbsite doesn't indicate any ownership change - maybe you could clarify matters?

he wont offer a response
It is nearly a year on since his predictions of doom and gloom in "October". Guess he was wrong?
Back to Strategic.
topend3, I hear similar things.
This is the problem for them - doing intl out of some regionals isn't a bad idea, but they have to get the aircraft there - most likely close to empty as most of the punters between bne-tsv will hop on the established carriers...

Announced BNE-TSV-DPS from Dec.
As for domestic pax between these points - F111's post says it all.
The IASC will likely have little to say because they want to encourage international services from regional centres, and the White Paper has put forward as policy that carriers who serve regional centres as an intermediate stop before a major gateway port won't have that counted in their allocations under the various bilaterals. If anything, it boosts their case for gaining more allocation on the hotly contested Indonesia route as they are showing their commitment to the market. Whether it works or not is another story.
Strategic already have authorisation for unlimited capacity to Indonesia from points other than Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth under IASC Determination 106, so nothing underhanded there.

Strategic Airlines (France) to lose its AOC
Strategic France loses its AOC. PResumably the 2 x 320's will come back to Australia
