PUBLIC LETTER TO THE FOUNDER OF THE "ROTANA JET" COMPANY SHEIKH AHMED BIN SAIF AL-NAHYAN
Artem Degtiarov, Chief editor at BLACKLIST.AERO
Dear Sheikh Ahmed bin Saif Al-Nahyan, We have been trying for a long time to reach out to the management of ROTANA JET, which you own, and to resolve issues with company's non-payments in a calm and constructive manner. We really tried...
At the same time with these unsuccessful attempts, we were collecting information on the aviation market about ROTANA JET. And the more we received information from market participants, the more we were questioned: how is it even possible for a company owned by a sheikh from the ruling family of the emirate of Abu Dhabi to become not just a defaulter, but a malicious violator of conventional business rules?!
It is hard to imagine that you would personally be financially interested in such non-payments, most of which are 20K-30K-40K-50K US dollars. We understand that this is “peanuts” for you. Moreover, it is beyond us why you allow your subordinates, the management of the company ROTANA JET, to go so far as to discredit your name?
Even high-ranking sources in the UAE are questioned about this situation and frankly say that ROTANA JET has long been on their personal black lists! You have been the Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Civil Aviation for a long time. So, please call your colleagues from the CAAs of The Gulf States adjacent to the UAE, and listen what they are thinking about non-payments by your company for air navigation!
Your subordinates, and above all the financial management of ROTANA JET, simply revel in their impunity and continue to steal money from aviation market companies. While the companies that provided services to ROTANA JET on credit suffer from a lack of working capital, and delay salaries. Just because they made one mistake - they believed in your name. None of them could imagine that a company owned by a sheikh from the ruling family of Abu Dhabi could act so immorally.
Your subordinates do this only because they know that nothing will happen to them because of it. We have only one question - why are they so sure of their own impunity?! Could you explain please?!
Of course, first of all, you will be indignant not with your subordinates, but with us: “How dare they?!”, “Who are they?!”.
We, BLACKLIST.AERO, are who we are. For us, PRINCIPLES are much more important than INTERESTS. And for us, it's all the same who the defaulter is in terms of social status: the president, the king or the sheikh.
In our value system, an ordinary pilot or a guy working on an apron or a dispatcher in an office who does this job honestly deserves much more respect than those who can pay a few thousand for a dinner in a restaurant, but at the same time steal money from their colleagues on the aviation market.
We are who we are. We will not flinch from our principles. And to you, dear Sheikh Ahmed bin Saif Al-Nahyan, as a pilot in the past, this must surely be close. Therefore, we kindly ask you to act! Get onto what's going on at ROTANA JET and clear your name.
The whole the aviation world is ready to help you. It's up to you!
Dear BLACKLIST.AERO followers! It is extremely important for us to hear your opinion on one of the most important issues of our site. As you well know, we never delete articles from our site. For all three years, no one has managed to intimidate or bribe us. I told them every time - even if you bang your head against the brick wall, hire lawyers, bandits, killers, anyone, throw mud at us (and at me personally) in the form of various, the most idiotic fakes - it will not help! It also never came to discussing specific amounts for removing an article, because such proposals were nipped in the bud.
Stories about how scammers, having earned money by deceiving counterparties, invest part of the loot in raising their status are not uncommon. The calculation is quite simple: firstly, they need to whitewash their reputation. Secondly, the new status allows them to penetrate the circle of fatter wallets, which means they can rob at a new, higher level. So such investments are usually justified and there is nothing surprising here.
The problems of Panorama Airways (Uzbekistan) began almost from the very beginning. In fact, it was a financial pyramid - tickets were sold at a loss, the company existed at the expense of loans from suppliers of fuel, ground handling and catering services. This could not work for so long and one fine day the pyramid collapsed in the most catastrophic way - the airline was unable to take back passengers who flew in January 2024 for Umrah (minor Hajj) to Saudi Arabia.
A week after my post about the fact that the co-owner of MERKUR HOLDING (Turkey) Halis Din should be released from prison, he is still behind bars. What is the reason?
