Hi
I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on Cougar Airlines?
Are they still in operation?
I understood it to be a 1 plane operation, I flew with them on the return leg of a holiday flight from Zante, it was a ‘fill in’ aircraft becaus eTransJet, the company we were meant to fly with couldn’t make either the outbound (filled in by Futura(?)) or the inbound.
It says on airliners.net that the plane is being used for spares thats all
Cheers
Sam

They were based at Stansted with 4 727’s, G-BNNI, BPND, OKJN and OPMN. They came from Sabre airlines, and I think that a large part of them went to forming Excel.

Cougar has gone belly up. It is, however, in the process of being reborn. Rumour has it, that Glopespan, the Scottish travel agent, is getting its own AOC in a couple of month time and that the AOC they are getting is the old Cougar one, bought out of the bankrupcy proceedings. There are also a number of ex-Cougar management with Glopespan at the moment according to these same roumors.
There were quite lively disscussions about this on pprune a couple of month back.

they had 3 727’s, but only one of them was a pax variant, the other two were freighters.
There was an article in AW about them a year or two back, but they’re another of those smaller operators who’ve since gone out of business.

As far as I remember they are operating a 727 with a pretty nice c/s
