Question Direct Air (Oxford) - ceased trading?

I have just spoken to EGTK operations and they have informed me that Direct Air Executive (operator of G-DCTA) has ceased operating at Oxford.

Calling Direct Air's main office number just ends up at a voice mail and I can't raise any of the employees on their mobiles...

Does anyone know anything more? We have some flights contracted with them that are due to fly in under two weeks time :'(

Thanks airborne. A call to the CAA has revealed that their AOC is currently in voluntary suspension so it doesn't look too good

As far as I know I was told they were in administration. Losing management of their only XLS was a fatal blow but the writing was on the wall for many months before that!

A shame really they had some good people and one or two who weren't good at all.

Any flights booked with them will not be getting airborne - you can bet your last dollar on that!
