Agree Yrabs - The existence of the decree counters the rumour of suspension by legally entrenching the fee, ( for the time being ) ongoing disputes (e.g., ANAC’s request to pause collection) suggest potential for revision or further executive action………😳

Fowler might find himself muching in to his “ free overdraft “ facility sooner that he thought

Cheers Misty - No surprises there then 🫤

My guess would be Fowler put the RNS out because he had his ar$3 chewed by Mr Pantheon 😂

He might be thinking uncle Peter has pulled his trousers down 😂

Rumours that the contract could face scrutiny over value-for-money, with claims that the fee might not justify the security upgrades or could lead to "judgment debt" if challenged legally. These tie into AFRAA's report highlighting how high fees in Gabon and similar countries raise ticket prices globally, potentially harming tourism and economic growth.

There is widespread speculation that the N7 passenger security fee could be suspended or halted due to complaints from airlines and regulators about its contribution to high ticket prices.

Gabon's National Agency for Civil Aviation (ANAC) officially requested "the High Authorities" to suspend the fee in a move revealed during a meeting with the Airline Operators Committee (AOC).

ANAC has instructed airlines to pause payments, citing the fee's role in elevating Gabon to one of Africa's top 10 most heavily taxed aviation markets. Industry reports note that such taxes can account for up to 40% of ticket prices in some African countries, deterring profitability and integration into regional systems like the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM).

These rumours have been linked to broader efforts to revise Gabon's national air transport fee structure, with concerns that the fee could hinder air traffic growth and deter international carriers—ironically countering the contract's goal of enhancing security to attract more flights.

100% Misty - they dropped the “ investment “ like a hot potato

Mmmm.……. So the definition of a “ recovery “ is when a stock is trading at 98% below its ATH ‘s…😂

The only thing thing I find intriguing about Janus selling up was they they went anywhere near this business in the first place. I can only imagine is that it's as close a as a global asset management company gets to a “ punt “.

With respect to their departure, I accept that the Janus’s of this world are not infallible, but they get more right than wrong ……. And unfortunately for them they don’t appear to employ anyone ( like some of our resident soothsayers ) that can read the future, but they employ plenty of clever heads that can analyse the past.….. And what ever it is they see they don't like it.…… so rather than describe their actions as being a “poor trade “ ….. Maybe better to see it as a canary in the coal mine.……🫤

Isn't 20/20 hindsight a wonderful thing …… 😂

One mans poor trade is another man’s “ get out as fast as you can “ ……. 🏃‍♂️‍➡️🏃‍♂️‍➡️🏃‍♂️‍➡️🏃‍♂️‍➡️

IMO DRC never happens ….. Fowler will leave it hanging until a new “contract” emerges ,most likely in some sub Saharan 🫰African dictatorship ….if I were gambling man I’d wager Somalia 🤣, they like a bit of chaos too , wherever it is no doubt Fooler will have been targeting it for a some time…. the bulls will love it wherever it is ……….🎉

Who knows?

According to her website, she is a " counter terrorism expert " ...!

I googled couter terrorism experts and it threw out ex SAS , CIA & Mi6 names so i can only assume the bar has been lowered in recent times

I suspect that given Fowler's obsession with titled people ( Figen Murray OBE )

I’m suprised old Pompous Peter hasn’t fired up a new division to handle the anticipated workload 🤭

In my humblest ;-

Standard Tier venues 200- 799 will require a specific risk assessment bolted on to an incident action plan with some staff training , which by the way can be carried out via e-learning . All of which I could carry out via my H&S provider at zero extra cost to what I currently pay them.

Enhanced Tier 800 + My insurance broker told me the above will have been incorporated in to any reputable sports / arts venue since the Manchester Arena as a condition of cover ( these insurance underwriters are a canny bunch you know ) , maybe a few tweaks required to tick a box or two .

Also Enhanced tier venues to incorporate “ reasonable practical “ security enhancements….!

When was the last time anyone entered almost ANY venue , of ANY description where there were no CCTV , we are the third most monitored country per capita outside of the USA & China as it stands .

Will WSG sell some security paraphernalia- 100% guaranteed they will , though the notion that every second boozer or theatre in the UK will be metaphorically stampeding their way to Bumbly towers for a van load of security tackle is laughable.

Good to see the “peace deal “ holding up ;-

How any CEO and or “investor / gambler “ would harbour any aspirations of doing business in that hell hole is beyond comprehension…..

Why the debate on Gabon revenues.…..🤷‍♂️

We know it’s been producing cash since June because that paragon of commercial virtue, Pompous 🤥 Peter Fowler said so in his Zak Mir interview ….. receiving revenues from June he said , all $15.5m PA of it 🫰🤣

“ I'm glad to say um and so you know from this month going forward now we're fully operational will be billing will be receiving revenues um hopefully for the next 15 years “.

Freiuden slip aye, from 1.28….. “hopefully for the next 15 years “

One would have assumed they have a legally binding contract, ( like the Liberian port , or DRC 1 etc etc ) yet the CEO “hopes” , it will run the 15 year term 🤭

I agree Nav, it still could be a good business . If Fowler were replaced tomorrow with an industry-proven CEO, sentiment would eventually turn, as long as he remains, the market's view of this company will remain .

Those " leading shareholders ", despite what they will tell you, are here because they are chained to the radiator.

The only retail that are happy to be here are either trading or deluded.

I see he's picked up another gig over at HVO.......

Pompous Pete is without doubt the embodiment of corporate incompetence….. demonstrably incapable of running ANY of his business’s at a profit so decides to start another one…!

A complete clown 🤡 show …….

GSA will be let out the back door by their friends , there will be no short squeeze .

Buyers piling in i see.…..🤥

When we see the world falling apart at the seams with rampant criminality, what are we to make of the leading supplier of security services “WORLDWIDE “ announcing a contract to install a couple of broadcast systems In a debating chamber 😂🎤🎧🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️🎷🤡
