Declined charter by two brokers and once direct - why?

As I said PM me. We go via a technical stop in Turkey, so all legal and have specialised Insurance to cover every one.

where additional security measures are applied before onward travel to the UK

And what measures are these I wonder?

Hawker750 - understand that, we did too, but then we were told differently by DfT directly when they heard we had. What's written in that document and what they enforce on UK operators is specifically very different. It's been brought up by BBGA I think.

I can give you the names of who we met with (allegedly...).

We have the insurance too - it's just if, God forbid, we came to claim on it, I think it's a good way for them to walk away from paying out if you're not operating in alignment with UK legislation, which this is (even if we don't know it).

Being a non EU AOC has its advantages

A regular destination for us, as I said.

IS this the reason why the defunct Astreaus and Titan stopped over in Cyprus on the way to Iraq/Afghanistan? I always thought there was some weird MoD logistics reason for that. Makes sense now in light of the "secret" "ban".

You could always go commercial with Emirates/Qatar, they both operate scheduled via the ME.

No CL, that was for range and Akrotiri...
