Perhaps the only way to service their fleet in the London area is to set up handling themselves. Maybe they have p1ssed off Harrods, Signature, TAG, Universal, et al.

The FBO's may not carrying any debt, as the only operator in MAN, surely that is profitable; I really have no idea, but if the FBOs and the Flying Operation are separate entities, the FBOs probably look OK (to the bankers). Had a quick look at the recruitment ads; it’s a pretty ambitious, potential operation.

Lower bills? Service to smaller airplanes also when big ones are around?
No NJE airplanes that receive service first?
Given the recent experience at MAN I doubt it, but...hope dies last.

PPE,
In the last month I've heard about "rumoured debt" about pretty much every operator / broker and handling agent, 90% has proven to be complete tosh.
Only this morning I had a call from a concerned broker asking if we were going belly up - because that was today's "rumour". (It's not true BTW).
I have no doubt that this rumour will affect my business because brokers who pay prior to flight will see us a credit risk, we will lose work, people will lose their jobs!
Now I know this is a bit Kettle / Black, and that is why I haven't been posting at all recently, but careless talk does cost jobs - this is a rumour network, but the rumours have an effect, so lets be responsible with freedom that the nice pprune bods have given us shall we.
(If anyone wants to let me know which one of our competitors is spreading the rumour about us, please PM me so can nip it in the bud)

Many many years ago I flew for a company operating turboprops and piston twins on both scheduled and charter ops.
Rumours spread one friday morning about the debt the company was carrying, which was correct.
By 5 pm I was instructed to fly the a/c into maintanance and leave it there.
The leasing company got wind of the rumours and seized the a/c that DAY!
21 pilots out of work, office workers, no income left so no bills paid anywhere!
8 hours is all it took to wipe out an AOC holder based on rumour.
So please be careful what you say and write eh?

But I agree with your sentiment - very often people are more than willing to sling mud around when they don't know the full facts. Fact of the matter is, Ocean Sky is financially buoyant.

Great to have you back Phil, I wouldn't go as far as a 'car' maybe a push bike!
To reaffirm, Phil really is one of the true gentlemen in this business and believe me they are very few and far between.
cheers
