Perhaps getting a UK AOC means there has been a complete revolution in staff, management and training and it is a totally new airline. One suspects, however, that perhaps there hasn't. If so, residents of Ramsgate beware (assuming they're going from Manston).

Pro MK
Yes Mk had a dodgy background,but this was due to management not the crews.
I personally have flown with them and found them to be top class operators.
Whilst you get radar vectored into your safe controlled enviroment just think about us ,Africa,at night,no radar,no papis vasis,heavy rain,divs out,no app lights,and appalling controlling,mlw,etc etc,
And guess what i dont even work for MK

Just to clarify - the MK simiulator u say is in the barn is the "retired" DC8 simulator - they only have one operational DC8 thats in Africa.
I too have flown with them on several occasions and found the crews totally professional and dedicated.
Just remember when your tucking into your runner beans with your dinner its a good chance MK has flown them in!!

Some more news
From the Air Cargo News Old Boys network...
ON 25 July, 2006, Jackson Aviation has acquired the shares of the MK Airlines Group, in partnership with Mike Kruger.
In order to become a British registered cargo carrier, MK has been completing the requirements of the UK CAA over the last 18 months. This included the technical requirements for EASA 145 Maintenance Organisation Approvals (achieved in August 2005), and following various legal requirements completion of the final proving flight (on 17 August, 2006), which demonstrated to the UK CAA the technical and operational competence of the airline, which in turn resulted in the issue of the UK AOC on 18 August.
On 22 August, MK also met the financial, ownership and control criteria, which resulted in the issue of the operating and route licences completing the requirements for MK Airlines to become a British carrier for the carriage of cargo.
Mike Kruger, chef executive officer said: "Our first Boeing 747 aircraft to be registered, which was formerly 9G-MKQ, now re-registered as G-MKAA undertook her first revenue flight for the company on 23 August, 2006. This is an extremely proud milestone in our history and the achievement which has taken nearly two years, now secures our long-term future and has resulted from the combined efforts and hard work of the shareholders, board, management and staff over this period. My sincere thanks are due to all member of MK Airlines who have been instrumental in achieving our UK AOC and licences."
WHO ARE JACKSON AVIATION??? allegedly they bough MK's share.

Who are Jackson Avn ?
My first guess was not correct: Jackson Avn, Dallas, ... since estimated annual sales $50,000 !
The new Jackson Avn partner of MK Airlines is a brandnew English company, registered 05860097 on 28-06-2006 and having its registered office address with its company formation agent: Mark Taylor & Co, 310 Harbour Yard, Chelsea, Harbour, London, SW10 0XD.
