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.
History
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 [1]. 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.
Suspension of service
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.[2]
A number of complaints about the selling of tickets without providing a service are under investigation by the Solihull trading standards service.[3]
Flywhoosh are looking for another operator/licence holder to restart operations out of Dundee.[4]
