FLY DUBAI REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE DILMUROD BAKHTIYORKHONOV AS ITS REPRESENTATIVE
An email was sent to the BLACKLIST.AERO administration, in which the FLY DUBAI completely denies the fact that DILMURODKHON (DILMUROD) BAKHTIYORKHONOV is its representative. This email was received in response to the official request of the BLACKLIST.AERO administration sent to the airline in connection with the case against PANORAMA AIRWAYS.
«Please note that the individual named in your email is not, and has never been, an employee of flydubai. We have no connection to the dispute which you mention," the report said.
Given that the administration of the BLACKLIST.AERO has sufficient evidence that Dilmurod Baktiyorkhonov, at least until recently, was a representative of Fly Dubai (the photo presented is a clear example of this fact), we are left to assume that this cooperation was never official.
The administration of the BLACKLIST.AERO will continue to study this fact further. In the meantime, there have been changes in shareholders of the PANORAMA AIRWAYS airline, which indicate Dilmurod's desire to remove his mother MAXIRA TASHXODJAEVA, who until recently was a co-owner of the airline and whose name he hid behind, concluding contracts for the supply of aviation fuel and ground handling services.
MAXIRA TASHXODJAEVA is a fairly influential, albeit non-public, figure in the entourage of the current president of Uzbekistan. Participation in the scandal with PANORAMA AIRWAYS may cost her the loss of this very influence. The country's political elite can quickly dissociate itself from her, as Fly Dubai did with her son Dilmurodkhon Bakhtiyurkhonov. Therefore, the latest gestures with the change of ownership of Panorama Airways are quite understandable.
Currently, the administration of BLACKLIST.AERO has sent a number of official requests on this matter. After receiving all the necessary information, we will be ready to provide a full report to our readers.
A criminal investigation has been opened into suspected fraud involving the management of SIA Smartlynx Airlines and the alleged fictitious sale of the airline to a new owner. BLACKLIST.AERO learned this information from a source familiar with the investigation. The case was initiated after a complaint was filed with the police by one of the creditors. It is also possible that additional complaints have been submitted by other defrauded counterparties of Smartlynx.
Over the past week, investment analysts from companies holding Avia Solutions Group (ASG) bonds have contacted me twice, asking for a more detailed explanation of the SmartLynx bankruptcy. Their biggest concern is that the same situation could repeat with other companies within the ASG holding.
The covert bankruptcy—legally framed as a “restructuring”—of SIA SmartLynx Airlines (Latvia), along with the highly probable collapse of SmartLynx Malta and SmartLynx Estonia in the near future, has become more than just a landmark event for the aviation market. Its consequences may amount to a full-fledged default tsunami, triggering a cascade of multimillion-euro non-payments across the industry.
Every time I fly to Dubai for exhibitions, I witness the same scene outside the hotels. A Bugatti or Lamborghini pulls up to the entrance, the chauffeur steps out, and hands the wheel to someone walking out of the lobby. It looks predictable — after all, Dubai is exactly the place where many people dream of cruising down Sheikh Zayed Road in a hypercar, showing off status and wealth.
