Ocean Airlines S.p.A. was a cargo airline based in Brescia, Italy. It operated cargo services to Asia. Its main base was Brescia Airport.[1]
History
The airline was established in September 2003 and started operations in November 2004. It was owned by Finrep (40%), Ined Holdings (40%) and ITAL Aviation (20%). It had 100 employees as of March 2007. [1].
Ocean Airlines suspended operations in April 2008, leaving many unpaid bills behind and they had stopped flying since October 2007. [1]. Bill Pellew Harvey, the founder, is not a man to be trusted and should be treated with caution if he approaches you with a business proposition. He's very good at promising payment tomorrow knowing that he has absolutely no intention of paying his debts. Nice.
