Apparently there is another airline planning to start up called Air Hybrid

Long overdue if it turns out to be true, but equally concerning is the transfer of officials to UL... not sure what's the idea of bloating UL with more employees.Originally posted by Aaqib View PostComment

Completely agree because UL currently has the largest staff to aircraft ratio.Originally posted by LukeSkywalker View Post
Wonder what would happen to the 4 aircraft though. Probably wiser to return the A319 (MRF) and the A320 (MRE) and replace ABK and ABL with MRC and MRDComment

Its always good to see new colours in CMB. When did BG operated CMB route in the past? Is BG seriously going to operate CMB route this time ? BG have been talking about CMB operation for sometime but never been materialised. Could BG be able compete with Sri Lanka's 10 weekly flights.Originally posted by dilushasg-bdavi View PostComment

How many times has this been announced? I've lost count.Originally posted by Aaqib View Post
Looks like the "shut down" is nothing but an integration of the 2 companies.
Some MJ Pilots have failed the selection previously at UL.
Some MJ Captains previously left UL and were not hired back.
Going to be a big mess no matter what happens imho.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

They operated for a short period of time in the 90's. Well they have the equipment (4 77Ws, 2 772s, 4 B738s, 2 A310s) for competing with MJ.Originally posted by banuthev View Post

I did hint that there, supposedly, (didn't say that .. ) some residual income scheme ongoing in MJ, so there is no urgency to fix the problem. Fixing MJ will mean a lot of revenue sources for some will dry up pretty quickly.Originally posted by ejanson65 View PostComment

The shutdown rumours of MJ are coinciding with the IMF bailout; so we can only hope that the bailout conditions stipulated some sort of cuts\shutdown on some wasteful public enterprises...Originally posted by ecureilx View Post
And the one sector the government can do something and also keep the public happy with the austerity measures is with MJ & UL.Comment

Looks like we have another airline interested in the DAC-CMB route. Regent Airways (Bangladesh) too is considering operating flights to CMB most probably utilizing its Boeing 737-800Originally posted by banuthev View Post
Their current fleet comprises of 1-738, 2-737's and 2-Q300's

Unfortunately any measures demanded by the IMF only hurt the poorest members of society. Examples:-Originally posted by LukeSkywalker View Post
- Increase of the price of basic staples (such as Bread)
- Increase the price of fuel
- Increase taxes
- Devalue the currency.
There's loads online about how the IMF (and World Bank) operate. It's nothing but Debt Slavery imho.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

That's good news. Regent is currently the best private airline in Bangladesh.Originally posted by Aaqib View PostComment
