Star Aviation In Chennai
 

Hi FltDummy, How authentic is your info.? Heard about this 'abort' situation from several sources

Unconfirmed news ...

Star aviation sold off by ETA ... possibly purchased by Mr.Kalanidhi Maran, in Chennai. (of Sun TV network)

pretty close

:rolleyes:...;)

:ok:

Let me get this straight..

1. They prefer experienced FOs ... and its true..
2. They prefer guys with instructing background especially from
the other corners of the planet..(i am in chennai FIR)
3. If the above two are not available.. and if its only a CPL HOLDER
then the candidate must have a BE or BTECH..

ALSO FULL INDIAN COP RTR(A) IS A MUST.. No Exceptions whatsoever

Hope u guys qualify.. they currently have a big waiting list for the coming batches..

But when are they launching it?

since it has been sold off by ETA as of now ... and rumors that Mr.Maran is the buyer and nothing solid is out in the news, it'll probably take some more time... much longer than initially planned perhaps.

From an announcement made by Sun TV to Bombay Stock Exchange today....


Announcement: With reference to the news item appearing in a leading financial daily dated August 13, 2009 titled "Sun seen in aviation JV with Dubai based Co.", Sun TV Network Ltd has clarified to BSE that the said news item is totally false and frivolous, Sun TV Network Ltd categorically denies the same and has no such intention or interest or is in discussions in acquiring stake in Star Aviation and the news is totally unfounded and baseless.

I got about 1200 hours, is star hiring? I filled out an ap online, and emaile them. no response. hmmmmm.

That's probably good news..Maran may be a millionaire...
But the guy behind star in dubai is a billionaire apparently...Nothing beats oil money..
Looks like they are pretty serious...
Nice glass building in chennai...too bad it's empty:sad:

So has Mr. Maran from Sun TV Network finally bought over Star Airlines?? The news hasn't been confirmed by either him or his company!
