CityWide is a new freight airline operating from ‘London’ with a LET410. Any body know which airport and aircraft are used?

From what I understand from the thread on pprune about CWC they will be based at Southend.

Indeed it is called such a place heehee:D
Both it and SEN are seeking new Airline customers, But if I was a choosing man I would put my money on SEN but then again I always liked a ranked outsider.

Thanks. You just jogged my memory, isn’t Lydd now called ‘London Ashford Airport’?:D

Well one can easily assume SEN and Ashford as small up and coming London airport that are 24h ops and have very attractive rates for a start up that would be looking at keeping costs to the bare minimum obviously not when it comes to Maintenance and safety but direct operating costs.
The Company I presume would be offering a schedule cargo Service hence the schedule link on thier website, but that can also be for anything.
But they seem like a good little outfit good management team althought staff numbers are pretty small Last I hear theyare only about 8 people or there about, but you dont need anything more than that if its only 1 LET410.
But big plans and big ideas, Its about time Low cost Cargo came to the UK and hopefully it sets a trend.

As for base am not sure, But for something like the size of AC I would tend to put my money for a smaller London Airport, rather than the usual suspects.
Thanks for that info. The smallest London airport would be Stansted, disregarding London City or are you suggesting an even smaller London airport, say a GA airfield?

The Aircraft being used is owned outright and they are now in process of finalising AOC application, however I also hear they could by pass this part by buying a spanich Cat B AOC.

Looks like it could be adhoc charter operations as there are no schedules listed. I see they are advertising for pilots and engineers also.
