It may be that the time period for the shares is due. They seem to be doing well and have a solid client base. I do not believe that they would be closing their doors for any negative reason.

Has never had a hangar in YBW
604 Management has been transfered to Air Partners
703 OC is for sale
Can not comment as to why this has happened

I hope everyone who lost their jobs is able to find something quickly. It looks like one of the Citations is now at Air Partners. The Challenger when to Skyservice not too long ago.

On a side note I don't think too much has been resolved at MBE Jet. All the partners are still chasing after MB. Although one of the aircraft are now on the SkyService OC.

Well one of MBE jets may be on Skyservices OC but it's not doing any flying. All MBE jets pilots are still unemployed..

Ok, somewhere in there I lost track of whether the conversation was about MBE or Qjets. So which ones 604 has gone to Air Partners? Is that the 703(4) that's for sale as well?

Avia Aviation was in that Hangar as well, oh the good old days with the Piaggio Avanti, it was a great company but fell apart fast with some senior management changes (President changes, not the CP or Ops Manager)

I remember we used to taxi the 'hos over there to pick up the bags for the bank run from Dynamic. Another one gone but not forgotten.
Quite the interesting company that place!
