Eastern Skyjets - Doors Closed

No one answering the phone and the little tin shack called J22 officially locked up.
Looks like "the family" did a runner at Eid took their money and let staff work on. 120 staff left without pay for 3 months and suppliers like me who kept them going on my credit.
Easy to find those Khan artists up in the UK using the web and the little Iraqi sales guy who is still floating around the shisha scene in Dubai. Absolute scum.

Interested to hear who else is owed money from these silver tongue gang of Khan artists.

Have a close colleague who attempted to leave and come to fly Dubai, the little past his prime DFO and his two henchmen made calls to stop his progress. The Pakzilla mafia in there was headed by owners who could not accept pilots leaving. No one I know got paid their end of service. The loyalty of the staff was commendable and the Khan's took full advantage.

I dont think anyone really cares about how many small operators are going bust in dubai these days...

Honestly its completely normal for small charter company's to come & go over the years

ESJ seem to have had a longer run than most others though

True they are not worth the time to mention since the slum lords are back up in the UK running their 1 star hotels. But they left a trail of collateral damage to the tune of $10's of millions. Scum like this gang need to be exposed because as we all know the ones left out in the cold here in the GCC go to jail for not being able to pay their bills.

I have tried to contact anyone that will pickup up the phone who is not a pa. Most fingers pointing towards a guy named Mansoor and a HR person Rose.
Reading on the other thread Skies Aviation was kickback scheme created by the same guy Mansoor. Go get some of your money back by filing a claim on him and her. The money trail is easy to find let the authorities take care of them and just maybe the UK cash will come back to those who are owed.

Skies aviation use to charge 70,000 euros for 500 on type on a CL!

Wonder how many people have gotten their money and promises taken away!

From a source on the inside: 4 of the LT guys finished the 500 hrs & were on contracts at time of bankruptcy

1 had got about 350 hrs

And another 4 had just 50 odd hours so those 5 guys will be out of pocket for sure, but I don't think they can complain LT comes with huge risk....

Majority of ESJ other pilots have joined Indus Air and 1 or 2 FZ

Again from my source it seems a lot of staff paying bills in UAE on credit cards and some now have been put in jail for default payments, very sad state of affairs

Heard the Khan artists have sold company to an investor. Finally the UAE is rid of these clowns. Have the greasy sales guy pack up tent and the side show acts of nephews aunts and uncles to. Where can I book a single star hotel in the UK PYMGATE? TRAFFORD HALL? Creditors take note.

You might have guessed it but you may not believe it! They are in fact back in Action...

Saudi charter outfit Emir Airlines has taken over...

My source is a good one! The GCAA...

Now perhaps a better place to work with fresh blood, & from what I hear they will operate the 767 & 757 that were originally for Emir...

After all the damage, both directly and indirectly, that they have caused to individuals and other companies, over the years, I had hoped that this would be the last we would see of them, in Aviation. However, it would seem that they have set up shop, again, doing the same thing, in Kuala Lumpur.
