BOAG Air - New Start, Belgium
BOAG Air - apparently a new start out of Ostend and Brussels using B747-200F. Advertising for crews at the moment. Anyone know anything about them?

This 'start up' plan was around a couple of years ago.

South African investors, using a Belgian Consultancy to 'sort things out'.

Thought it had died a death, though be interested to see what happens.

Once again considering recruiting crew before they have the aircraft and the AOC - so with crew listed maybe their file will go forward before the administration ?
A couple of similar ventures appeared those past three years in Europe - usually in Italy (and always planning to fly BAE 146 or B747-200 ...)
Good luck anyway, maybe it could proceed on.

They already have 2 B747-200F.
One from Kallitta and the other from unknown source.

Last I heared they were offering l/m euro 2000 + per Diem.

Is there anyone with any more news from BOAG?

I heard the first flight (to Johannesburg) was planned for this week. Maybe someone knows a bit more about this?

Around 70 ab initio's are being called for interviews in about 2-3 weeks....At least 12 will be offered a job.

So, big plans!!??

Anyway, good news for lots of wannabees like me.....!

Word on the street (in Frankfurt) says that Orex might have something to do with this as well.

I'm brushing up on ATPL subjects at the moment, as I am waiting for another email with date and time for tests at Boag.

Interviews last week? Sure like to know a bit more about it

Did any "ab-initio" receive a notification of an interview?
