Midex Airlines (Merged)
 

Anyone got info on this operator? Claims to own 7 X 747 400F's and 2 x A300B4-200F's Guess MIDEX stands for Middle east express blah blah blah

Midex.... so thats what its being called
 

I had some gen on this a while back from some mates who were all being head hunted by Chinese wispers and keen to bail from a particular 744 operating airline.

Some left well over a year ago and my contact also left the jungle paradise for a new sandpit to play in and since then I have lost contact with the progress.

It appeared that you had to be in the know and it was a select bunch of recommendations to get you into the group. Money and rotation options seemed very good at the time however I think the delay was due to the lack of airframes available.

Since the above info was current things have changed a fair bit with EK and the 747 freighters and start of Jade and almost start of Great Wall.

Lets wait and see what comes about in the next few months.


(I have tried to put as many hints in as possiable without outing myself so if you want to play the game F_I_L_L_IN _THE_B_L_A_N_K_S)

Midex
 

Have heard that they are looking for A300/B4 crews with first course in April. For interest anyone know where sims for this type are. Do not recall seeing any in usual places.

A300B4 sim.
 

One is in BRU and I remember one in Burghes Hill as well. There used to be one at Olympic in ATH as well but not JAA approved.

The Chief Pilot is a long time friend of mines he is from the USA, the COO is from Focus Air. 1 747 a couple of B4's base is El Amin, commuting schedule 5 wks on 3 wks off. Housing is under construction, hotel for now. I heard 8 grand for Capts with 75 a day additional. Sims in CDG. Thats all i know for now

Heard the 747 is going to be PH-MCN, still active with Martinair. When is the delivery date?

I think you mean "Al Ain" (OMAL) Blackbaron.

Midex Mystery
 

Midex is a newly formed cargo company based in UAE. Corporate office is in Dubai. Headquarters for government sponsor is in RAK or Ras Al Khaimah just north of Dubai. The Midex Hub is Al Ain (OMAL) which is a small town 1 hour south of Dubai and 2 hours east of Abu Dhabi. Maintenance base is in OMAA.

Losely... the Midex plan is to fly cargo from India (A300) to Al Ain and continue to Paris (747). They have been trying to get started but I think overestimated their ability to start an airline.

Midex owns 6 A300B4s and 2 742s.

Abdul Saboor has recently joined as COO. (former Focus)

The pay is: Captains $100/hour. 70 hr guarantee. Shared housing provided. $40 per day food allowance. 5 weeks on 3 weeks off. Travel on days off. They buy the tickets home. Training is in done at Air France ORY.

Pilot contract yet to be delivered. Bond to be expected.

All terms subject to change.

Two B747s? I thought they only have the one they will be getting from martinair. What about the other one?

Any update on this one? when they taking off?
They have a schedule up on the website now.

Middex
 

we taxi past a A300 yesterday in Frankfurt, it was Iclandic registered.

Air Atlanta have a number of A300s based Abu Dhabi

Hi :)
 

Hi , i m wandering that if midex looking for F/O s , if yes where can we make an application ? thanks for reply from now , take care ... :)

MIDEX
 

5 weeks on 3 weeks off.
Pay for FO's approx 6000US while on the 5 weeks, less if you are on holiday approx 5000US.
Do not know if they will have a transportation allowance. They will set up the pilots with an apartment, do not know if it will be sheared or each one gets one.
First ground school in April, they need a lot of pilots.
6 A300-B6 and 1 747-200. A lot of flying during the 5 weeks on.
Sound like a good management team, good luck to all.:ok:

Hi, urgent
 

Can anybody help me ? everything is fine with the midex cargo , it's ok but could you please tell me that where can we make an application for cockpit crew position ?

In fact its the other way round. A large number of pilots have been inherited along with the B4s from express.net.

aviator, try calling or sending here:

MIDEX
 

Yes that is the person you need to contact. I meet him the other day and he was a very very nice person. Good luck.:ok:

Many thanks :)
 

Many thanks to your replies gentlemens , to Heilhaavir and Greendotspeed, with my best wishes :)

Any updates? Have the B4s taken off?

Heard the 747 was to fly in from CGK after maintenance checks?

Affirm 747fanatic. PH-MCN was delivered to MidEx at AAN from CGK by a Martinair crew on April 14th. She underwent an FC check over in Jakarta. CN landed at around 4:15 pm.
This brings an end to Classic operations within Martinair Holland (aah good old times :hmm:) but hopefully we'll see her going strong for years to come!

Hi everybody,,,,,,,,,,,anyone knows when their first flight is gonna be,,,,their sked on websites say flights from 30th march but havent seen any news or photos on net till now. What about their first induction course?????when is it gonna start??????

Midex Chaos
 

The COO Abdul Saboor has quit. The only A300 TRE/TRI has quit. I do not know how long the rest can take the abuse they are handing out. Last I heard no drinking alcohol in your "own" apartment. Oh and the contract has been changed to exclude the 30 day vacation.

Not much to recommend here guys.

Well well well, is that really a surprise? Where's Saboor heading now, back to Focus? hahahahahahahaha

here vs there
 

Respectfully. What difference does it make where I am? What is...is and everyone knows it shares it. If you want to know something ask.

Oh yes and the amount of spy vs employee at Midex management and UAE in general is repugnant.

Was mr. Abdul Saboor TRI/TRE for pilots or for flight engineers????
if for pilots then who is one for the flight engineers?????

Mr. Saboor was to have been the COO. Dave McLane (ex-Focus) will be heading up the flight engineer side of things.

Supposedly the owner of the company has reneged on benefits and reduced others. This is why Abdul left. Anyone going there get it in writing and watch your six!!!!!!

Capt.Saboor
 

What a pity that Abdul Saboor seems to have bad luck with start up's.
I met him few years ago in Bangkok where he was the DO from Thai Pacific Airlines (unfortunately they never left the ground).
He is one of the nicest and most competent people I ever met in my career.
I wish him good luck and all the best

Request
 

Good Question!
 

Probably nobody at the moment...I hear the GCAA are about to put the brakes on because everybody in management that knew anything about flying airplanes has left. They are advertising for an A300B4 TRE/TRI at the moment. Not to many available on short notice.

any further updates guys??????????????

Any change here??
 

Just wondering if anything has changed at Midex. I know they have had a hard time finding/keeping people already. I believe a month or so back, pay was increased a small amount, but it appears, other items may have gone away. I would be interested if anyone has any current news. Thanks.

Midex Flight Ops also Gone
 

Just heard Manager Flight Ops Midex also resigned...The airline really is on the down trend instead of up..Bye Bye!! Midex!!!!

Don't count Midex out yet!!!

accoeding to their new schedules on their website, their aircrafts are supposed to leave ground today (1st May).....any news

I believe Midex are still recruiting crew for both types and also looking for Loadmasters/schedulers/destpatchers. Does'nt sound like downward motion !!

their website has been redone,,,,,looking much better than the previous three page website.
this indicates midex soon to be in air.....
anyone with further info,,, pls share.

Did the A300B4 crew training start in Paris? Or they still looking for a TRE/TRI for the job.

No word from there guys?
