Sentra

Anyone know anything about new planned UK A330 operator Sentra Airways? Supposedly planning MAN ACC as first route. According to Flight Global the airline says it will solve the problems “of hundreds of passengers”. That should fill the aircraft for a few days - not sure what happens thereafter.

"Our crew of pilots, engineers and ground operatives have more than 100 years’ combined experience in the aviation sector."

About 4 years each then? Hardly inspiring and not something to put on the website I would have thought.....

Maybe it's an average, per individual.

The aircraft a A330-200 was deregistered from the United Kingdom registry on the 21 September and returned to it's lessor Air Lease Corporation. It has since been re-registered in Guernsey and awaiting to be delivered to an unknown operator. The aircraft currently remains at Kemble.

Another short lived dream gone.

Several similar UK start ups have come and gone over the last few years.

FlyPop
Hans Airways
Sentra Airways

And I'm sure by this time next year we can add,

Global Airlines

Does the CAA have a "Beginner's guide to starting an airline and some basic advice of what you will need" ?
It seems like it would save an awful lot of trouble not just for the CAA, but also for would-be airline execs who are very much out of their depth ?
Neither side comes out of this sort of situation looking good

I agree with your comments, it's totally pathetic really. Amongst other things, the amount of money these guys have lost with their mad cap ventures.

Yes, they do. And in addition to that, the very first stage of getting an AOC and an OL is a meeting with the CAA, wherein they impart some very, very good advice.

Sadly, too many people with more money than sense think they know better than the regulator. Or think that the rules are merely suggestions. It all ends in tears.
