Ocean Sky
 

Anybody have any details on this new start up called Ocean Sky? They are planned to start with two CL604's on the UK register, both aircraft currently with NEA at Manchester but will be possibly based at Prestwick

WNC

Ocean Sky
 

Is associated with a larger company, in the sea freight business.

They have operations in East Midlands Airport, and sales office in Central London.

The two CL604' s are in Manchester for JAA conversion, and the first should have been prepared by this week.

I was under the impression that the aircraft were to be based in the south.

The "management" are Prestwick based, and the "owners" are London based Russians.

I for one would like a flight deck job with them.


Thats all I know.

Bumz....(hint)

Rich guys buy some existing business and give it a lot of marketing spin. Will find out in a year or two that they will not make money and sell it. :8

Get a bit of deja vu..... (a new Greggair)

Rich Russian Guys
 

There is a slight difference.

I do believe Ocean Sky will fly......

The investment has been large, and normally Russians do not invest for the short term.

Watch this space....

It's still the Cochrane Brothers though isn't it...?

Not sure but understood that some people who were associated with Air Cordial (AOC holder for ex-Air Scandic) are working in Ocean Sky.

Heard only nice things of those guys...

I don't say that they will not fly but more that they will have to accepot loosing money. Give them 5 years of losses and see whether they are still happy :ouch:

Any feedback how their 747 freighter operation is going?

Both OCS CL604's were noted parked at Manchester yesterday still sporting their US registrations. Nice colour scheme though, grey & green

going places
 

How long before the 2x 604s get on line, I assume an N reg indicates the non JAA status of the aircraft.

I also thought that the "press anouncement", related to past achievments, not current developments, perhaps Baccardi can expand. "December" being mentioned.

I thought Aircordial was a dead operation. ex Manchester.

Check out the website. Not much more on there though :suspect:

Think at least one of the a/c is to be registered G-OCSD.


Anyone know of anymore similar a/c which are being registered at MAN for private or business use?
- I had heard that a local sports management company was looking to purchase and register a CL-601/4 for use by it's clients.

In addition to the two Challengers, Ocean Sky also appear to operate/own a Jetstream 31 (namely GLOVB). Possibly a company hack or are they looking at using it on charters?

At least one? You think they might both be registered G-OSCD?
:E But I know what you mean.

I hear the other could be G-OCSC and ops could be imminent! I also only hear good things about the AOC management.

Luton office soon
 

Will this be relocation of EMA Ops, or just a hanger office for the excess stores.????

Ocean Sky is setting up a brokerage business, that may explain the Luton opening...

Nice colors, and aircraft...

Aircraft to be operated by Twinjet at Luton????

Why would Ocean Sky use Twin Jet
 

Unless they have not had the AOC reissued.

OS have a strong brokerage office in London.
