EasyJet's Egypt deal remains up in the air


The deal is up in the air and it will be so for almost forever unless the mentality of the current bureaucrats controlling Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority will be exposed to a thorough brainwash.

Egypt is fully supporting its spoiled child EgyptAir and it will not allow any foreign or even Egyptian carrier to compete with it. Egypt does not have any foreseeable intention to change its protectionist policy despite the current flaccid status of EgyptAir.

You cannot delegate entrepreneurship - if you are going to make mistakes make them yourself. – Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou

Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou is definitely a successful entrepreneur.
His statement (once you’ve proven the business model leave it alone and get a manager in, and hire a proven manger) is somehow in contradiction with what was published by Forbes.com on 06 April 2009 under (EasyJet Shakes Up Boardroom). http://tinyurl.com/cyqnbx

The article is talking about the pressure of Sir Haji-Ioannou to change the board of directors. So, either he did NOT hire proven managers or he did NOT leave it alone.

That situation drove me, (Airlinologist), to tweet the following on 08 April: How can I find Stelios Haji-loannou to tell him about the best one to run EasyJet?

My comment does not change the fact that the article is a source of motivation for many people.
