<hr />
<div>'''FlyWhoosh''' was a company that operated scheduled services to [[Dundee]], [[Birmingham]] and [[Belfast]] before ceasing operations. Flywhoosh is a trading name of BluArrow Aviation Ltd.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The company had been established by Birmingham-based businessman, Aden Murcutt, representing the travel company Bluearrow/Govisit who sold the tickets. Murcutt had previously tried to set up [[Flywho]] as a transatlantic charter airline <ref name="FI"/>. The operation used the services and licences of the Polish charter airline [[White Eagle Aviation]] which supplied an [[ATR 42]] aircraft and crews. Scheduled services commenced on [[29 May]] [[2007]] and were suspended on [[7 December]] 2007.<br />
<br />
==Suspension of service==<br />
Services were suspended in December 2007 when White Eagle withdrew their aircraft from the operation due to problems of non-payment from the travel company.<ref>[http://www.whiteeagle.com.pl/en/ White Eagle Statement on suspension]</ref> <br />
<br />
A number of complaints about the selling of tickets without providing a service are under investigation by the Solihull trading standards service.<ref>[http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2007/12/15/newsstory10692780t0.asp The Courier]</ref><br />
<br />
After the suspension of services Mr Murcott made a number of criticisms of passengers who were seeking refunds. <ref>[http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2008/01/10/newsstory10783137t0.asp The Courier]</ref><br />
