I hear that Gatwick is up for sale. Des res, all mod cons, bijou location needs some upgrading and the greenhouse, or Belgrano as it is better known, could do with demolishing. Excellent choice for the first time buyer. No chain.
I wonder if they couldn't make a better job of LHR than the hapless Ferrovial. Total dung heap mind. Demolish T 1,2 3 4 and make T5 the premium business aviation terminal in the world. BA could relocate to Cranfield and everyone else can sod off.

Southend would definitely fit the NJE requirements:
H24 operation.
Good weather record, ILS (well, on one end!), radar
Reasonable links to London, train station planned.
Hangar space/development land available, and a long established pool of engineering workforce at the airport.

In fact; NetJets is looking to by an airfield for different reasons. And in fact, NJ was interested in buying Tempelhof. But with the political situation in Berlin they got kicked out!

Really?????
I still wonder why NJ would invest into infrastructure? As I remember Tempelhof and frankfurt are not their top Airports. Do they consider a latent demand, that would fill their AC?

Eaglesbach would come with many problems not least its proximity to FRA, the incumbent tenants and the many obstacles encountered on approach. Few crew going there in the early days would have called it a happy place to be.
So we've had rumours on them buying Cambridge, Cranfield and now Eaglesbach. At least they're running in alphabetical order.

Southend would be ideal to move the headquarters to - near a major city and the beach 
Someone might have beaten us to it though........
Stobart to buy Southend airport as southern base - Times Online

Don't advance that fast in the alhpabet 
"F" is first, so NJE may go and buy Frankfurt/Main so we finally get rid of the slot-problems! That would be neat 
And no, there are no "eagles" at the "bach"(creek). So please call it "Egelsbach"

Scambuster, I may be taking what you say the wrong way but, your statement is INCORRECT and will only lead some to worry even more than they need to.
You infer that ALL aircraft are to be parked. The truth is that consideration is being given to 'parking' some ( a SMALL number) of aircraft for a short period of time.
NO decision has been made yet and we will not hear of one for some time.

No decisions have been taken as of yet, so unless you have some other information you care to share with the forum, you are only stirring the pot and stirring it in a negative way.

Netjets & the Corporate world
Hello guys and girls,
Please don't take this the wrong way but for those of you who have joined the corporate world for the first time through Netjets - either from the airlines, military or GA, welcome to the harsh reality that can be corporate aviation.
On one day, you have the most amazing job on wonderful equipment.
On the the next day, you are part of the cost cutbacks, jobless, and looking up at the airliners still flying over and wondering why you didn't chase that airline career or stay with that other company, or even elect to stay in the military where all your peers are now major major majors.
It has happened to me too many times over the years.
I say to you - don't get morose or despondent, or take your stress home to your loved ones.
Keep moving, stay positive and use other skills to fill your time and make money to pay the bills.
You have to experience winter in order to appreciate spring.
If you haven't experienced it then you may not have any empathy with what I write - I ask for your patience. But if you have, you will know.
Corporate aviation.

I understand that they have still yet to make a firm commitment to the owners Cranfield University to open what would be an engineering base at Cranfield. Has anyone any news on when work on the new the taxyway to RWY 21 will start?

Eat My Shorts. You know me so well 
You'll find me somewhere near a red and white 605 these days. Feel free to come aboard 
Scambuster wrote "small" fleets are to be mothballed so perhaps nimrod was a bit premature in jumping on him/her. Interestingly enough your own colleagues are spreading the rumour about this. At least four of them have told me the same story, two today. Might be an idea to start nearer home if you want to scotch the rumour.

Hi Flintstone
To avoid any misunderstanding I was referring to the statement that all small aircraft are to be parked. This is incorrect and I would not wish people to pick up on this and worry even more about their future. There is enough of that already in our industry.
Kind regards

nimrod.
scambuster wrote "I heard netjets is looking for somewhere to long term park all their small planes" to which you replied "You infer that ALL aircraft are to be parked". He/she isn't at all. The clue's in the word 'small'.
scambuster is merely repeating what he/she, I and others are hearing and as I said up there ^^^ it's your own colleagues spreading the story. It's certainly true that some aircraft have gone and I'm being told that any mothball plan will be spun to the owners as free upgrades for people holding cards or shares on those fleets.
Whatever the truth is it will come out eventually but in the meantime it surely must be pretty uncomfortable for those involved. Be nice if Lisbon actually told you all what's happening, no?
