Please feel free to post press releases/progress reports about your R4 SkyGroup airline here!


I'll begin:

Peruvian Airlines, Peru's flagcarrier, has recently received it's first 767-200ER.
In cooperation with fellow alliance member ROYALTY, based in Mexico, we have launched a new 1x daily route from Lima to Cancun (CUN), operated by the new 767.
ROYALTY has also recently received it's first 767-200ER, and used it to launch 1x daily flights between Mexico City (MEX) and Lima.
We will not only codeshare on these 2 routes, but also on the CUN-Ft. Myers, CUN-Roatan, MEX-Veracruz, MEX-Chihuahua routes operated by ROYALTY.
And ROYALTY will codeshare on the Lima-Quito, Lima-Guayaquil and Lima-Cusco routes operated by Peruvian Airlines.

In the future we will most likely expand our cooperation with ROYALTY and higher the frequencies on the LIM-MEX and LIM-CUN routes, as well as expanding the amount of codeshare destinations.

Shareholders of the Pacific Blue Group have recently approved of a 30% pay raise for all Executives and Managers within the airline at the Key Shareholders Monthly Meeting held on the Gold Coast in Queensland.

 

The decision was strongly influenced by the group’s exceptional financial results at the end of the second quarter, Achieving net income of $152,568,201 in the Q2 period between April and June.

 

Tim Sheridan, CEO of the Pacific Blue Group has praised the efforts of all employees within the group saying “ Each and every one of our employees within the group have played their part in contributing to the airlines rapid expansion, solid customer base and strong financial performance during our first 20 months of operations”.

 

Sheridan, who previously held a managerial role with Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific Airways, has also received his fair share of credit taking the honour of Australian Businessman of the Year for the 1990-1991 financial year period.

 

Mr. Sheridan is adamant the airline will continue to expand into new markets in Asia, North America and South America as well as increasing capacity on selected existing routes domestically and internationally hinting at the possibility that the Pacific Blue Group will make a large order for the new Airbus A330-300 and A340-200 aircraft within the coming months.

Peak Airlines decided today that it will be a launch customer of the Airbus A340-200, to reach SkyGroup neighbors in Eurasia. The airline has been experiencing a bumpy financial ride after expanding to the east coast city of Indianapolis.

 

Shareholders of Peaches Holdings (NYSE: PHS) are becoming increasingly angry at CEO Michael Watson. Watson has been leading the airline for a little bit more than a year. Despite Watson's succesful handling of growing the airline does not seem to matter, considering the incident of Peak 8053 was under his command, the short-lived hub at KPIT, and the financial problems of the airline itself.

 

The Board of Directors has a planned vote on removing Watson on January 19th, 1992 and is likely to appoint Jordan Meichel as new CEO of P. Holdings. Meichel supports an intense partnership with southern partner Aurora, possibly including full merger with Aurora.

 

Meichel will be the 3rd CEO of Peak if given the position, after the short lived term of Melissa Rogers at the start of the airline.
