Khan artists probably list that with their assets suggested by their unemployable unreachable CFO. Jetstream cost more than its worth in fees to get it off the tarmac.
Wonder how the new owner is doing fending off T- Cup, Tahairless and burn to Ashes long list of screwed suppliers? The dirty little gang's website still up appearing to be in business. No AC's No AOC no staff no insurance a bunch of expensive cars in the little nephews garage

As I understand it from a close friend whom is still within the company the Jetstream has not flown in years...

All but 2 of the 5 737 remain...

The offices are all closed, take over bid from Emir has fallen through...

Some 300 staff and several suppliers, remain unpaid.

According to sources they where losing around $60,000 per day flying out of DWC but only decided to pull the plug some 58 days later....unsure if this is true however.

What happened to the Jetstream 41?
It's parked in the graveyard section of Ras Al Khaimah Airport.

Sorry but you have been ill informed, no staff paid since April 2014!! Not even 1 has received a single Dirham since from them....

Are you aware the main office closed down and just a few HR and the DFO meet each day at Burger King to continue to work for free?

Honestly the entire aviation community is laughing at them now! To use Burger King as the office!?! Come on just call it a day
