probably...



borrowing an idea from john wayne suppose it could be called



"north cyprus trouble airlines"



or "something about north cyprus seems to trouble you airlines"



...or even, "trnc trouble-free airlines" (at least as a goal)

not just the name, but most countries including the CAA of UK have declined the slots they had asked for as the carrier has only 15,000,000$ start up, so no go and the nice TRNC has managed to eat the money on other things and now the poor investors are chasing the goverment for the reurn of their money.

384 Billion is easy but 15 Million I have no idea. Does it really take that much money. What's wrong with hiring a few planes and using the existing airline's licence. What's the matter with our people, have they lost all sense of advanture?



Bring back Asil that's all I can say and watch my fascist cousins in the south start frothing in the mouth.

The 15 million dollars believe it or not is still sitting in a bank account which the goverment in unable to touch.



Some extremely powerful businessmen have invested in this failed project and if the goverment defaults on this one they will be blasted out over night.



The TRNC goverment secretly sold CTA's existing slots to a well known Turkish airline just before they declared CTA bust !!



Cutting a long story short........ It will not happen

It's in the infamous TRNC 'pipeline'. Also in the said 'pipeline' are; the Turkey to TRNC water pipeline, new equipment so no more electric power cuts, legal reforms, tourist friendly government policies, government debts i.e. electric bills to be paid, to name a few.



Any other ideas as to what's in the 'pipeline'?
