Al Wafeer Air
 

Is this the mob that will specialize in Umra and Hadj flights? Whats the web address.....

Thanks
jones

They wont be flying Hajj this year as they dont have an operating certificate, so thats 2 years in a row that they have failed to achieve their goal..... Word on the street is poor management who have bitten off more than their capabilities!

What?? The fancy brochure was all lies? Wow, that never happens around these parts... :}

Met someone from there last year...a swish brochure and alot of hot air..

Hello everybody,
I am new here :) ..this subject attracted my attention while surfing the net.

I have good news....

few things are changing ---positively ---in alwafeer air

I'll keep you updated next week

what is the present status

Updated Update !
 

OK .. here is the latest:
After snooping around and talking to some "Informed" players, the consensus on Al Wafeer Air:
Targeting the Hajj and Umrah markets,
Sizable capital,
Saudia air is a strategic partner,
Other Influential share holders,
Talented management,
Actively pursuing the AOC (expected early 2009).
Presently interviewing by invitation...

I had an automated reply from the website [email protected] , after emailing the pilot application ... so we'll see what happens ... :cool:

Thats the 3rd target date, 2007,2008 and now 2009........

Mutt,

When you say that, do you refer to GACA being too slow? Or, is it laziness of the airline?!

Any body know what kind of airplanes they'll operate? Requirements? How's their package?

Thanks,

Updated update 2
 

Hey everyone ... been a while ..no? (ok.. ok.. i hear your whispers: "not long enough) !!
Gloomy Mutt :{ and the rest of you :bored: : here is the latest:

• Will be willing to type you for a bond.
• Oh yes.. and seriously hunting for Cabin Crew.

B777, A330 Ya Think?
 

Their web site is asking for B737 NG or A320 pilots .Not the B777, A330...You got the manufactures correct.... So where 's the beef ?

Careers

jones:ok:

Spacenavigator, do you remember Capt Abdullah W? Or was that before your time? Some of us know a lot more about this company than you might realize....

Gloomy, not I, especially as i didnt take him up on his offer to fly the 777!!!!

Mutt

An acquaintance i know for many years working for a recruitment agency, informs me now they are looking for B777and A330 pilots. But quiet rightly, the website does say A320/ B737NG !!
Hmmmm...:confused:
I guess the economic situation made larger jets readily available, and sent everyone back to the drawing boards...

No News?
 

Hello..
This thread has been dormant for a while :sad:

Is Alwafeer Air going to fly soon or not?

I heard they have several offers from aircraft brokers, for 747-4
I also know that they've recieved plenty of crew resumes from Jeddah and different places in Europe. but no interviews so far :ugh:

rumors say that getting their AOC will expedite after the recent GACA management change.

anybody have more info?

Does anyone know the package?

Payscale,

I got some of the Cabin Crew package....I can tell you that they pay more than any other Airlines in Saudi Arabia or Gulf region

The link to their homepage has just been suspended.

Make from that what you will, but it doesn't seem inspiring.

It was probably an internet server maintenance or something..not directly under their control.

It's working fine now

Things have gone very quiet...... word on the street is that they havent got the capital....
