Biggin Operator Shuts Down?

I was asked if I knew which Biggin based outfit closed its doors today. I've no information other than the suggestion that the fleet comprised or included Hawker(s).

Anyone?

Oh no.

If it is the one I am thinking of, then that is bad, bad news.

Good operator and good guys, IMHO.

When the hell is this all going to end?!

Do Markoss still have Hawkers in their managed fleet?

There are certainly non available for charter now.

The only 3 Hawker operators I am aware of at BQH are SDJ, IFT and MKO (if they have them).

If I'm not mistaken didn't Markoss get rid of the 800XP's and get Challengers (?) or some other aircraft of that size?

Markoss did get rid of the Hawkers and started with a CRJ200 so I guess it's not them.

Hope it's Planechartering - the other two hawker operators at BQH are good outfits.
