I see OCS have ordered a BBJ. It's a big step up from a Chally to the baby Boeing

They are to use one of the ex GE BBJs now registered N781TS until delivery of the brand new one in 2011.

They opened a sales office in Zurich several weeks ago.

Hi All,

I was meant to have an interview recently for a Flight Attendant position on a Learjet60 Luton based.
I have now been told they do not need anyone at the moment .
It is such a hard business to get in to, I was very keen to work for Ocean sky.
If they are expanding their EMA base I hope that will mean they will need a Flight Attendant!

MissA

What EMA base? None of their aircraft are based here.

Ocean Sky purchease Northern Executive Aviation

From Manchester Evening News 31/07/2007

-------------

AN EXECUTIVE jet business based at Manchester Airport has been sold for more than £10m.

Ocean Sky Aviation has won the race to land Northern Executive Aviation in the face of competition from the US and Europe, as businesses look to cash in on the corporate jet boom.

NEA was established in 1961 and was owned for the last 28 years by a Dutch businessman, Andre Van Gils, who lives in Switzerland.

In the mid-1960s, Leeds United and former Chelsea owner Ken Bates was a director.

The company employs 60 people and turned over £9.2m in 2006. The figure is expected to reach £11m this year. It has been profitable for the past three years after posting losses in 2004.

NEA repairs and maintains private jets and operates a VIP terminal for passengers travelling on executive aircraft. Its purpose-built HQ, opened in 1998, has won awards as the top executive jet handling facility in Europe.

Following the acquisition, NEA's terminal will be rebranded as the Ocean Sky Jet Centre and its maintenance division as Ocean Sky Engineering.

I do'nt think those figures tally with those filed at Companies House.
