editor — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:40:38 +0000

Ghana’s first virtual airline announces the start of cargo charter operations and vintage charter flights. Effective immediately, GOG pilots are able to operate three different cargo aircraft and five different vintage aircraft from and to any airports of their choice.

The new charter cargo fleet:

1 Boeing 747-400F

1 Boeing 757-200M

1 Cessna C208

The new charter vintage fleet:

1 Lockheed L-1011 TriStar

1 Lockheed C-130

1 Fairchild C-119

1 Douglas DC-3

1 Boeing 727-200

The existing fleet for scheduled passenger services in Western Africa (3 Boeing 737-800, 1 Bombardier CRJ-200, 1 Dash 8 Q400, 1 Beechcraft Baron) remains unchanged.

The decision to add cargo and vintage flights is a result of a member voting about how to expand the airline’s operations. GOG members are frequently asked to state their opinions via surveys on the airline’s Facebook site.

The flights can be booked via the Pilot Center at the GOG website: http://www.goldenghanavirtual.org.

Lakefront Air Announces Changes in Service

Lakefront Air, an airline located in Cleveland, Ohio, will be making some major changes in 2010. On January 1, 2010 we will be discontinuing our charter services, which were done in partnership with Michigan Aviation. Our charter services operated the 737-200 aircraft with all first class seating. Although our charter service has been well liked, we have found it increasingly harder to make revenue. Lakefront Air will be selling the aircraft prior to January 1, 2010. At this point in time Lakefront is looking for potential airlines to acquire the three aircraft from the charter service. The potential airline can expect the aircraft to arrive on the first week of January of 2010.

The aircraft are currently located at Cleveland Hopkins International airport. Airlines that are interested in the aircraft can email us at ceo@lakefrontairvirtual.com or go to the website at www.lakefrontairvirtual.com
