Jet2 @ LHR/Aviance

Was rather surprised to see a Jet2 757 at Heathrow this morning. I’m assuming they operated a flight for an airline, but which was it?

Also, are there any Aviance (ex) employees here? What’s the future looking like for them?

Indeed…and as the article below demonstrates, it didnt see itself beyond Jan 2010 as it was bought by Dnata of Dubai:

By the end of January 2010, Dnata was the proud owner of Plane Handling Ltd, formerly part of the Go-Ahead Group. It provides cargo and ramp handling services at London Heathrow Airport and cargo handling services at Manchester Airport. Dnata has also acquired passenger and ramp handling operations at Terminal 3 & 4 at London Heathrow Airport from Aviance Ltd, which is also part of the Go-Ahead Group.

According to the managers, Aviance at LHR doesn’t stand a chance of seeing out 2010, as they’re likely to fold.

As far as Im aware Aviance are staying at LHR, its all thier other UK airports they are pulling. They pulled DUB last August which cost me my job.

I am very sorry to hear that Shamrock, have you been able to find a new job since?

Was for British Airways, due to the strike. Along with Astraeus, Euro Atlantic, Transavia… there’s probably more as well.
