He resigned as a director on 13th July 2009 according to others. More interestingly the C of A for G-MKEA expires on 25th October and G-MKBA on 26th October, so presumably C checks are due?
I am sure we can all rely on the UK CAA to be on top of the situation though
Off thread a little but C of A should be non-expiring; Airworthiness Review may be due but it is not necessarily reliant on a C-Check (but can be aligned with for physical survey). BA's ARC expired 26/10/09 and the other one expires 02/11/09 (see G-INFO)

Heard the same. Seems money has run out and they have not paid the lease bill. Crew have not been paid and those at Landhurst are getting nervous. Also a couple of high profile resignations recently.

It looks like the ex AAI B747 freighter is stalled & the lessor not getting paid.

Seems like Deja Vu

I heard Pat Pearse has either been booted by TAA or resigned. Not sure of any other top level persons.

HA left Ostend today for Subang, upgrade to stage IV... and heated toilet seats for the crew?
According to companies house, al is fine again with MK, since yesterday the published company status is: "active"; alive and kicking again, hopefully fuel prices stay low..
