The story
Futura Gael was set up by Futura International Airways in order to get the necessary traffic rights to operate charter flights from Ireland to destinations outside the European Union. The airline operated charter flights to the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe.
In 2008, Futura Gael was reported to have planned cutbacks in staffing and wages for the following year; specifically, management suggested that all employee salaries be cut to €1000 a month.
