Janes Aviation was a cargo charter airline based in England. Despite the efforts of founder Andy Janes, the airline operated for only a year and a half.
History
Andrew Janes re-formed his original company Janes Aviation with the same corporate name in October 2006. On 28 April 2008 the airline was granted a Type A Operating Licence from the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority.[1] The airline also held an Air Operators Certificate No. 2318 to operate the Hawker Siddeley 748.[2]
The first commercial flight happened on the day 29 September 2008, hauling mixed cargo between Liverpool and the Isle of Man[3]. This service, substituting for an unserviceable surface ferry-boat, was maintained daily until 7 October, when it was withdrawn. Thereafter, apart from some sorties for the Royal Mail between London-Stansted and Belfast in the weeks leading up to Christmas, little other productive work seemed to have been operated. All flight operations came to the end in March 2010 after the airline had requested the suspension of its AOC[4].
