TransAer, the Irish based independent
charter airline, is to apply to the
High Court for the appointment of a
provisional liquidator.
The decision follows the failure of the
airline to secure additional investment
to secure the viability of the business
TransAer sustained significant losses
last year as a result of the conflict
in Kosovo which had a negative impact
on the Greek, German and Turkish
markets where TransAer operated.
The company also recorded heavy losses
as a result of a $20million investment
in the US airline TransMeredian.

Guvnor,
What a thing to say. You are a bigger tosser than most people say you are.
Over 500 people have lost their livelyhoods and all you can do is smirk. I'm not surprised all your ventures I know of are failures.
I hope one of their crewmembers manages to give you a fat lip, you deserve it.

Justin, you're oversensitive - I was just making a point about the major debate that was on here about them taking over the EI A330s some time back.
For what it was worth, I was there, have done that and still have the T shirt, having joined Laker Airways in early December 1981.
My commiserations to those affected, and I hope that they find alternative employment in the near future. At least unlike when GK went down, there isn't a recession.

I am very sorry to hear this very sad news.
To my former colleagues I wish you all the very best. I hope that most of you are able to find alternative employment soon. Ireland has lost a great company. I remain in the hope that PJ will somehow get something else going.

A terrible loss to the 540 people employed by TransAer - Their aircraft were leased Orix repossesed their aircraft yesterday and today - a number are in Libya, Cuba and France - Britannia is operating one from STN. The A300s are just as widely spread. I only wish that we had more vacancies at the moment - my best wishes and hopes to all affected.

Saw the A320 on the ramp there only yesterday - I'm sure PJ will be able to pull something from up his sleeve - not sure what in these circumstances though. My only hope is that he doesn't get screwed by the media and courts - TransAer owe a lot of money to a lot of people

Bad news really, however there are plenty
of jobs in Ireland at the moment for the
ground staff, maybe not so many airline
jobs though.
As for the pilots, well Airbus ratings are popular.
Guvnor. I would have thought this represents
and opportunity for you. A niche to be
filled with L1011's, maybe?
One way or another someone will replace
Transaer.
