History[edit]
The airline was established and started operations in 1997 and ceased all operations in January 2005. In May 2005, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission banned Luke Norman Butler, a director of the company, from managing corporations for a period of three years. The Commission found that Butler held a management position in We Both Pty Ltd (formerly Global Air Leasing Pty Ltd) whilst he was an undischarged bankrupt, and thereby allegedly breached some provisions of the Corporations Act 2001.[1][2] Butler was not a resident of Australia and was not present at the time of the ASIC hearing, electing instead to make a written submission to ASIC.
Luke Norman Butler's bankruptcy was formally annulled via Annulment of Bankruptcy No VB 390 of 2002 dated 17 September 2003 – some 20 months after Butler's Annulment of Bankruptcy ASIC ruled against Butler effectively finding him guilty, in absentia, of undefended allegations of conduct which happened in a Bankruptcy which was previously annulled (not discharged but annulled i.e. legally as if it never happened). Luke Butler is currently a director of several Australian and International companies.
Fleet[edit]
The Global Air fleet consisted of the following aircraft (in 2004):
All aircraft have been disposed of as at December 2005.
