Directfly UK / Paul Crowther?
 

Hi

Just wondered if anyone had any info on this company?

Looks like they are set to commence ops any day...

Thanks

mmm yes I know there are several comments out there and some of the history, hence the interest...

it seems they have several jets on their books, www.directflyuk.com
Citation II: SOVA and LUXY, previously with Planechartering and SOV - also with 247 jet?

CItation II JETO and Citation V JOPT, previously with Jet Options
Kingair 90: ORTH, previously with Planechartering
Directfly UK part of the Directfly Group with bases also in Warsaw and Milan. Also operates DA42 (Diamond Twinstar)

AOC Question:

Can you operate G-reg aircraft commercially on a polish AOC? All seems remarkably fishy...

hmmm very good question...

Why not ? It should be possible, the UK is part of the European Union, EASA, OPS 1, JAR-145 you name it and I think Poland is the same, so equiv. standards.

This sort of leases inside community is nothing extraordinary, there are plenty of airplanes operated on another EU register, just have a look for e.g. on the Irish register, I bet half of them are operated by foreign airlines EU and non EU members. This is nothing new and standard in commercial aviation for years already. May be not much utilized in Biz aviation though.

ICAO Annex six transfer can be arranged for 6 months with a six month extension,

No thread on this (these?) subjects would be complete without a link to the Club 328 thread. Wouldn't want anyone arriving here via Google to miss any details now would we?

Anybody with an ear to the ground at Biggin know what's happening with this bunch ? Apparently they've started quoting for charters.

Are you :mad: serious?

Andy

All true, Directfly are now quoting the aircraft from Biggin, saying that I have not yet seen any evidence that the Annex 6 lease is in place so tread very carefully. I had a conversation with a few brokers a couple of weeks ago when this first came to light, most have made the decision at board level not to offer his aircraft.

I seem to remember someone at directfly (relating to a performance limited airfield somewhere near London, relating to one of the G-Reg jets) saying:

"We can operate from there, we're not as restricted because we're on a Polish AOC"

Carpe Diem folks. Sadly i'm sure there's brokers out there that are prepared to use them given the "competetive" pricing...

Any more info
 

Does anyone know any more information on this company? they are advertising for staff. :confused:

Yorkshire Airways

Take another look your actually wrong over the Bradford connection. The accounts number is an 01273 not 01274 number making the correct location as Brighton.

Brighton? Is he going after the pink pound then?

A few weeks ago I received a copy of AOC from a friend of mine of Direct Fly in Poland and now the UK reg airplanes type Citation II and King Air are listed on their AOC. My friend who is flying for them told me that the lease is long term, around 5-10 years and that Direct Fly is currently leasing more G-Reg Citation II airplanes.

I guess Direct Fly is pioneering in operating G-Reg airplanes out of their Poland base, having all EU rights to operate freely within the EU and beyond.

Yes I too see that proof reading the website of 01274 caused the change by the web master to move the code to 01273 obviouly chasing the pink pound!

So is he making any money then ? If so, maybe I can go round his house and request he pays me the month's salary and expenses he still owes me from last year.
