AV8 Air was the trading name of an airline based in the United Kingdom. It was established in June 2003 as Man Air and started operations on 25 November 2003.[1]
History
It was estabilished as a subsidiary of tour operator CT2 Flights and began operations on 25 november 2003 with a long-haul flight from Manchester to Capetown using a leased Boeing 767-300ER.[2] The company operated the 767 on a damp lease basis from Icelandair until their own Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) would be granted from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Unfortunately, due to a lack of a bond, the AOC was never issued. A Boeing 757-200 aircraft was intended for use on short-haul flights to Mediterranean resorts, but due to the unsuccessful AOC application, the aircraft was only operated on a weekly check flight around Manchester.[3] In March 2005 the UK-South Africa link was curtailed. The airline ceased trading in December of that same year.[4]
