Saw one of their A300'soperating in NBO Friday night.

Hi superspotter
just little bit of clarification. you said you saw onw of their b4s in Nairobi, NBO. Cause their schedule doesnt say anything about going into Nairobi. Should be grateful for further info and/or pics.
thnx

Yes, you're right. There was a Midex aircraft on the ground at NBO. It was doing its first charter flight for the company.

MIDEX in NBO
 

This was an aid flight from NBO into RGN, first they had operated..

any updates on the 747? Has it recieved the UAE reg.?

What is missing!
 

Any updates??

freighterone
 

Anyone know who the owner is?

According to a mate of mine who worked for Midex it doesn't look to rosy. Their infrastructure is a bit of a mess, to say the least. Last month they were looking for an A300 TRI/TRE for two days, yes two days to run the sim for recurrent training. So far nobody took the "bait".
I hope it will work out for them boys over there right now.

Any info about roster, QOL, etc..? How many buses out flying as of now? How many crews?

SBD:)

Nothing flying right now. No schedules no crews. Some odd charters to Maynmar for the quake relief efforts. Still a long way to go.

Midex - Unlikely
 

Gents - Am afraid commercially their whole business model doesnt stack up, Indian subcontinent feed to large plane to Europe, Worlds 5th largest integrator etc...sorry price of fuel and other Middle East carriers operating regional freighters to all the same places and guess what adequate lift nowadays direct ex sub continent. My guess is Midex is Empost 2 and they havent flown in a while now have they.? and even when they did it was ACT charters via IST. A300 B4 is not a plane you can make money with am afraid. Even the big boys EK / QR / EY with their A300-600 and A310s dont have enought work and their costs per kilo are beyond market tolerance..But would like to be proved wrong as the business is losing its entrepreneurs daily...

Heard from a friend, Midex 747 crews are getting checked out in MIA this week, then JAA course in a couple weeks in UAE. I believe, all ex-Focus?

Wasn't this the....
 

...Midex plane?

Boeing 747 -21AC(SCD) 24134 TC-AKZ Ankair delivery 31may08 AMS-SAW, all wh, no titl ex N134AP

No.

PH-MCN now A6-MDG

@WhaleDriver,
Whats the latest on the check out of 747 guys.
Also the JAA course that you are talking about, is it for the 747 or A300b4 crew?

Heard the 747 is going to fly for Lufthansa.
What routes?

Corsair or LH
 

Latest I have heard it was supossed to be a codeshare with Corsair. 6 times a week AIN-ORY (if they are ever going to launch)
Where did you hear this LH variant?

Sorry, no new info.

Thanks Whale Driver,
Shall appreciate an update whenever you have any info!!!!!!

My understanding is AIN-ORY will be a B4 operation where as the 747 will for the timebeing fly for LH.

Any set class date yet for B4?

SBD

Dont know about the class date, but heard they were suppose to start off their ops with B4s from 18th (yesterday), to BEY and ORY.....any body with any further news or photos????

Hi
 

Did you get any news about when they will start their ground scholl for new pilots??

No news on the grnd school that I know of. Anyways really hope they start soon. Would love to see A300 B4s again in the skies of Mid-East and Indo-Pak (as planned)
BTW was looking out for Midex Flight to ORY on Flightstats. It seems like they have started their AAN-BEY-ORY flights. Would appreciate if anybody out there at AAN/BEY/ORY can get a picture.
Thanks

Hi,everyone
 

Hi , i have a question , does anyone know about the chief pilot s e_mail adress,tel or how to contact ? for A300 , thanks ...

@Aviator
Call +971 3 7854470 and ask for Chief Pilot OR Mr. Anthony Grass (director ops)
Alternatively go to www.midexairlines.com check their contacts page.
It has Mr. Anthony's Office, cell and email listed.

Btw which position are you applying for?
Good luck

anyone here working for these guys?

C/P
 

Chief Pilot is Capt. Jack Brynes. Good luck!!

I know Jack!!! EXCELLENT GUY FOR CP

It is Byrnes or Burns iso Brynes ( in case you call him)

Typo, BYRNES as in 'Burns'............ it's all Greek to me......... Yes, nice guy.

CP for A300?

I thought that Jack is the Dir of Ops at Midex but that might be some time ago.

Is A Graas(Director of ops) still there? Thought he left just after Abdul Saboor(Chief ops officer).

Midex Airlines 1st Flt.
 

On June 25 th Midex Airlines made it's 1st official landing at BEY. Hope more to come. Saw a pic in US Today upon arrival in Bey.
But still no news about further operation and scheduled flights to other destinations for A300B4's and B-747. Only know it operates AAN-BEY-ORY 3x a week with a A300B4. Where is the B747?
Still no news about the Groundcourse for the A300B4 guys. It may take a long time as they may have sufficient crew currently for this operation.
I wander if they can cope as a "starting airline" with the raised fuel prices.
Hope they'll survive though.

:ok:

Midex Airlines
 

I came to know from a guy working for Midex (747) that the A300B4groundcourse has been posponed for some time now since there's a lack of qualified A300B4 instructors.
It's hard to believe that not a single and U.A.E. DGCA qualified 300B4 instructor can't be found as still A300B4 trainingfacilities are available in Europe and the U.S.
I'm wandering the real reasons for not sending the B4 guys to the groundcourse[/B]. Maybe too many A/C and not too many parcels??


CR :confused:

Well I dont know why, but they could get it done by PIA Training Center in Karachi, Pakistan. It should be no problem with UAE DGCA as PIA was the one to launch EK with their B4s. Though PIA dont operate B4s anymore and their Sim is also sold out but I am pretty sure that the ground course can still be arranged pretty easily and at lot cheaper cost than the ones done in Europe or USA.......

Midex Airlines
 

No news at all about Midex flights on flight stats or any updated news about their operation or groundschool B4
Would appreciate any update, Thx.

Naj.

Well go to Flight Stats, in the flight status section, try putting AAN-BEY or BEY-ORY in route setion and it would come up with MG1 Flight. Though MG is IATA for ex-Champion, which apparently has ceased ops.

Najma Check your PM

Honestly, MIDEX not having business model/plan. Graas is not MIDEX staff, but only consultant who sold A/c to the president. Show run by 1 flight despatcher, and person on commercil frond who is non-airline, non-cargo, non ...sense.
Saboor make good decison... get out soooon.
