I heard the first aircraft was being ferried to Manston at 2000 feet and 160knots with its wheels down and doors open.........;)

I wonder how their AOC application is processing?

Just for context, 400 aircraft is only marginally smaller than the current operational combined wide bodied fleet of KLM, Air France, Lufthansa, Iberia and BA.

I'm trying to be objective but that video is utterly bizarre.

It ranges from David Brent esque (I dead-eyed him and told him 400 widebodies) to the Ace Ventura styled Hawaiian shirts.

So, £30m or so? I don't understand what competent business people with that sort of money would invest in it at this stage.

I appreciate an A380 isn't especially sought after but even so, they've got to be worth well in excess of £15m to buy outright? Have they really managed to sell £15m worth of shares on the promise of...

An AOC isn't really something which can be simply traded though, is it? Probably just as easy to apply for one as opposed to buy one.

This whole thing is just really weird.

Completely agree, PAXboy.

If Global does get off the ground, how does he propose he will eliminate late flights if one of his A380's goes tech in New York?

HolidaySwap have had 10,000,000 website hits, no audited accounts and claim to be valued at £400m.

Quite. And as I've said previously, only 4 listed employees on their accounts. There is no way you operate a company with as many customers as they claim with only 4 employees.

Holiday Swap's accounts at companies house are interesting. Over £15m in assets yet they don't file audited accounts and have only 4 employees? Doesn't seem right.

His quote: 'Airlines are making you look quite silly now'
