Was browsing PPJN and found the following about ocean Sky

"closing down Austrian AOC, financial situation in UK very unstable"

Outlook:
unsure - hiring stopped


Is another operator about to shut up shop?

Maybe - but not Ocean Sky.

I've been told OS have just got the contract to do ground handling worldwide for Netjets. Doesn't look like a company going downhill to me

[No RYR for me]

contract to do ground handling worldwide for Netjets.

maybe at an airport or two but worldwide

[merlinxx]

Has anyone told Lisbon or more importantly Columbus?

[Smeagels Boyfriend]

I havn't heard anything about this over the last week and would be in the loop.

Correction to my last - it's for Ground Handling at certain European bases wef Nov 1 & came from the Procurement Team in Lisbon

[Smeagels Boyfriend]

Just out of pure interest whats life like for the guys on the G550? Roster, pay etc

[cloud07]

Handling for Netjets in several bases in Europe?
Ocean just have two FBO´s - Prestwick and Manchester.

On the gulf you have a roster 14/14 (+maybe 2 travel days).
Nice guys on the Gulf.

The other informations about the Austrian AOC and the salarys are (sadl) true.
Financial situation seems a bit unstable for the moment.

Everybody hopes it will be better soon but who knows.

Anyway. Ocean sky is backed by a Russian family, they have some aeronautical experience already (ocean cargo).

and do you know that less than 6 months ago this "very legal" russian family decided to put ocean cargo in bankrupt? just like this? hundreds of people without a job just because they had to "invest" money in another business?

and ps. russians are tired of paying crazy money for the same service that another company can offer them for half price...
be aware!

Quantum of Solace

Aha... I note that Ocean Sky have now taken over the TAG terminal at FAB - possibly a bit of money changed hands here...? OCS to Warner Bros....!!!

[733driver]

Noooo, you got it all wrong... That was the new Ocean Sky Terminal in Bregenz, Austria, you saw in the movie..... Just looks an awful lot like TAG FAB

[jettgoddess]

It was TAG at Farnborough in the Movie, I was there when it was filmed........

[FLEXJET]

The best shot was the G5 Executive HB-IMJ at FAB, I didn't know that they had merged!

[farmer jo]

The rumour in the market is that the Russian Family have done what Sophiemargot was talking about ??

[flybypilot]

I heard a rumour that the owners financier (his father I believe?) was stopping the funds as his own companies needed the money, any truth in this?
