Howdo,

Heard earlier this evening that Futura have had their Spanish business licence suspended.
They will not be in the air for the next few days at least, quite
possibly never again.

Sad news.

Cheers

Hiya,

According to the media in Spain, the airline has had its AOC revoked as of midnight Spanish time tonight.

Does anyone know what will happen to the Futura's which are leased to Arkefly ? Will they be grounded as well ?

I think those 2 will go back to the lessor.
Don't know the flightschedule for Arkefly right now.

Grt,

I'd like to know why the licence has been suspended.

Can't find any info on the web yet.

Evening all..Just hearing some rumours that FUT may not be operating this time tomorrow due to the inevitable fuel pressures and not hedging their fuel this year..I hope sincerely for all that this is not the case as they are a nice bunch of people

The airline Futura today announced its operators and providers who are forced to cease their activities before the economic difficulties being experienced. Future intended to present an arrangement with creditors, but from the Civil Aviation warned that this decision would force the authorities to withdraw the licence of flight. Faced with this situation the charter Majorcan cease to operate from 00.00 pm tomorrow Monday.

Tomorrow a meeting with creditors and ERE will take place and also the viability plan will be presented to the corresponding government department. Operations will be suspended from 24 hours tonight (o.ooh Monday) for at least 24 hours.
DGAC warned Futura that if they suspend operations their AOC would be suspended.
Today all airplanes have been ferried to PMI to avoid them being grounded elsewhere.

Both were still on the deck (D/E stands) on 10Sep08 late afternoon.
Didn't check myself today... but also didn't read about these frames leaving AMS... I think both are still here as we speak.
