VLM Airlines bought by management
Truly independent airline will also offer scheduled services
Today Intro Aviation, majority shareholder of Romscope, has announced together with VLM Airlines that Romscope has sold VLM Airlines to the management of VLM Airlines with formalities of the transaction to be completed by the first week in November. As a truly independent airline VLM Airlines will continue to offer ACMI & Charter services, but will also be offering scheduled services again in the near future.
VLM Airlines – which started in 1993 with its inaugural Antwerp-London City Airport route – over the years has become one of the most successful airlines in the charter business based at Antwerp International Airport. With its Fokker 50 fleet VLM Airlines focuses on meeting the needs of the European charter market including ACMI / Wet Lease contracts and charter operations for tour operators, travel agents, music & film, special events, incentives, sports teams, government & military, NGO’s and emergency support.
“We received an offer from the management of VLM Airlines that we felt we could not refuse.” said Peter Oncken, Managing Director at Intro Aviation. “We are happy to see VLM now to develop as a wholly independent airline in the ownership of a management which is dedicated to VLM”.
“We strongly believe in VLM Airlines as a truly independent airline,” commented Arthur White, CEO and majority shareholder of VLM Airlines. “As an independent airline we will keep offering ACMI & Charter services, but we will also start offering scheduled services in the near future. We are already studying a number of possible new routes from Antwerp International Airport. We will communicate this as soon as the deals have been concluded.”
VLM Airlines is also seeking to add a new aircraft type to its fleet, for the moment VLM Airlines is evaluating a number of possibilities.

Professional IT tends to be hectic this time of year, with all the project managers suddenly remembering what they promised to achieve before year's end. For the consultants who must realise most of that, this is a nice opportunity to gain a little extra. (don't ask how I know)

They're waiting for the green light from Al-Baker.
No wait... that's the A350.

Well, that's a very basic website to say the least...sn26567 wrote:the new http://www.flyvlm.com website
But I'm a bit confused about the logo.
I thought this was the logo
... while on the website they use a different one.
