Well it's been a challenging time recently and we nearly collapsed but after some asset management I am proud to say that Pittair will start to operate again, just in time for the upcoming summer holidays.
There were time where I thought that the airline wouldn't be saved but thanks to the sale of aircraft we now have enough funds to restart operation, I'd like to sincerely apologise to our loyal passenger's that have been affected by our problem's and would like them to rest assured that the airline is back in business and hopes to have a bumper summer holiday season with record passenger numbers flying with us.
Yes as is inevitable with these thing's redundancy's were made.
and also a reduced fleet size and maintenance bill will help the company get back on it's feet
I hope to see you flying with us again sometime soon
All the best

Pittair & Brexit
Hi There guys & girls, well where do i begin, it's been a record breaking year for Pittair as passenger numbers have rocketed, we've branched out into different countries it's been a great year for the airline I'll give you a run-down on the key points this year,
This year saw us,
Launch our first transatlantic flight from Heathrow to JFK and also saw us launch our new Hawaiian airline Pittair Flower, which is linked into the main Pittair airline through flights between Honolulu and JFK via LAX, that have connections to JFK - Heathrow flights,
We retired all of our older aircraft to modernize the fleet,
however through all this success the British Government in there pursuit of the destruction of the British economy, thought it would be a good idea for the UK to leave the EU and that will cause major problems for airlines, and as of the 6th August 2017 The PM has officially signed article 40 triggering our exit from the EU as a result from 00:01 on the 7th August 2017 Pittair will re-locate to Paris-Orly Airport and will cease operations into the UK, all Pittair flight's will now operate from Orly and no flights will operate into or out-of the UK as the UK will not have the necessary aviation regulations in place and all flights to the UK will be Diverted and Flights already in the UK will be grounded.
So to ensure continued operations Pittair will now run out of Paris-Orly
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this idiotic decision from the Government.
All the best

Nearly One year old
Its nearly a year since my airline started operating and in that short time plenty has happened with the accident of germanwings grounding the entire A320 family fleet meaning 3 of our aircraft were unavailable to the fuel crisis last august meaning we had to suspend flights due to lack of money to now.
And what is happening now?? you may ask well let me tell you.
as of the 28th of May Pittair took over a well traveled (and weird route) From Gatwick Airport to Paris Orly via London City Airport & Southend from Cityjet a subsidiary of Air France we are also reintroducing our "City-hopper" services with the Gatwick to Manchester via Southend being the first one reintroduced we hope to get; East Midlands, Newcastle, Luton & Glasgow onboard by Christmas also to widen our routes with destinations including; Brussels, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Barcelona & Madrid by February 2017 with Irish destination by Q2 2017
We will also be making a tweek to our Maximum Cabin Size which as of 00:00 on 09/06/16 will be 55cm x 45cm x 25 cm giving passengers more room to take stuff onboard the plane
I forsee within the coming weeks we will review the Gatwick - Paris route we took over from Cityjet and this will probably see the route withdrawn from Gatwick and have the route London City - Southend - Paris & Paris - Southend - London City as starting from Gatwick isn't viable for that route.
I hope to see a lot of you flying with us this coming summer holiday seasons and I'm glad to report that all our aircraft have returned from their respective modification and are ready to fly you to your destination and our cabin crew are especially ready to welcome you on board and be the first link in your wonderful vacations.
Look forward to seeing you this summer

Pittair Virtual airline
It was a turbulent summer/Autumn for Pittair and I'm glad to say we weathered the storm and Pittair is now happy to announce the resumption of the order of new aircraft for the fleet but unfortunately it's not as many as we would of hoped for as the order has been cut from 6 to 3 but im looking forward to adding to the fleet, a message for the spotters and eagle eyed public 4 of our aircraft have disappeared but don't panic this is planned, G-PITR is undergoing conversion to a freighter in Frankfurt, G-PITQ is having her wings modified and winglets added to the wing to make it more fuel efficent, G-PITW is away at the moment having "sharklets" added for better fuel efficancy, and also G-PITD Is away having wing modifications.
On the withdrawal front I can announce that G-PITB 737-500 is scheduled to be withdrawn in the first quarter of 2016 along with MD-10-10 N1010PC, the MD-10-10 is being replaced with 767-200F G-PITR as soon as the latter is ready
Looks like a very bright new year for Pittair
As this is the last update before the end of the year I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of our clients, business partners and customers a Merry Christmas and a happy new year
All the best folks

Pittair and Pittair Cargo Virtual Airlines (2)
NOTICE FROM THE BOARD
Its Been a turbulent Summer for Pittair's passenger airline with the crash of oil prices in late August the airline took a huge hit as the price of aviation fuel rocketed, and Pittair being a new airline trying to make its way in a highly competitive industry felt the hit the hardest, between the 15th of August and the 23rd of August, Pittair Passenger flights were Suspended due to lack of funds, Thankfully Thomson Airlines and Thomas Cook arranged with Pittair to supply Passengers who had tickets to fly back to the UK with Pittair Flights back home,
Due to financial Decline Pittair are making cost cutting measures to ensure the future of this family Low-Cost Airline However Redundancy's were inevitable and the has already put on hold the order we had to purchase a number of Boeing 737-600s to bolster the currently aging fleet and have had to put on hold the withdrawal of our Boeing 737-500.
At present the Passenger airline division of Pittock airlines T/A Pittair is unaffected but i would urge all passengers flying with us this quarter to check with the airline, whether that be by telephone or through our website, please check before you travel as the closure of the passenger airline division is not impossible due to the declining financial position of the airline.
Hopefully Pittair can weather this storm and come out booming but a uncertain near future is the reality but its not all over yet obviously every effort will be made to keep the passenger airline running but due to the Strict H&S laws as well as the stringent FAA & CAA Inspections of fleet maintenance and reliability and safety and if that cant be maintained then obviously we will have no choice but to cease passenger operations but lets hope thats not the case
Have a great autumn and hopefully Pittair will be back to how it was.
Good Day
