Ocean Sky
Anybody have any details on this new start up called Ocean Sky? They are planned to start with two CL604's on the UK register, both aircraft currently with NEA at Manchester but will be possibly based at Prestwick

Ocean Sky
Is associated with a larger company, in the sea freight business.
They have operations in East Midlands Airport, and sales office in Central London.
The two CL604' s are in Manchester for JAA conversion, and the first should have been prepared by this week.
I was under the impression that the aircraft were to be based in the south.
The "management" are Prestwick based, and the "owners" are London based Russians.
I for one would like a flight deck job with them.
Thats all I know.

Rich guys buy some existing business and give it a lot of marketing spin. Will find out in a year or two that they will not make money and sell it.

Rich Russian Guys
There is a slight difference.
I do believe Ocean Sky will fly......
The investment has been large, and normally Russians do not invest for the short term.
Watch this space....

Not sure but understood that some people who were associated with Air Cordial (AOC holder for ex-Air Scandic) are working in Ocean Sky.
Heard only nice things of those guys...

UK business aircraft charter broker Ocean Sky has snapped up Manchester-based aircraft management company Aircordial.
The acquisition forms part of the London-based company’s strategy to expand its business aviation services portfolio and follows hot on the heels of the formation last month of a new fixed-based operation at Prestwick airport in Scotland. Air operator certificate (AOC) holder Aircordial will be relocated to Nottingham East Midlands airport and will operate under the Ocean Sky banner.
In December, Ocean Sky, formerly Aircraft Zone, sold a 49% stake to Luxembourg-based investment company Ocean Group. “This investment has and will enable Ocean Sky to become a key player in this market and to continue to invest in business aviation-related companies and services [in Europe and Russia],” says Ocean Sky director Kurosh Tehranchien.

How long before the 2x 604s get on line, I assume an N reg indicates the non JAA status of the aircraft.
I also thought that the "press anouncement", related to past achievments, not current developments, perhaps Baccardi can expand. "December" being mentioned.
I thought Aircordial was a dead operation. ex Manchester.

Think at least one of the a/c is to be registered G-OCSD.
Anyone know of anymore similar a/c which are being registered at MAN for private or business use?
- I had heard that a local sports management company was looking to purchase and register a CL-601/4 for use by it's clients.

In addition to the two Challengers, Ocean Sky also appear to operate/own a Jetstream 31 (namely GLOVB). Possibly a company hack or are they looking at using it on charters?
