Bruce Dickinson From Iron Maiden Planning To Save Airline

Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson is planning to rescue employees of Astraeus Airlines which went into administration on Monday (21st November). Dickinson himself was also employeed as a a pilot for the company and piloted the airlines final flight.  

The singer told Blabbermouth "I'm amused that the less well informed seem to be portraying me as having to resort to busking on the streets following the closure of Astraeus. The more astute members of my circle are aware there's rather more going on in my world. Firstly, I'm already working on a plan to try to save Astraeus, or at least create a new business with new jobs for my friends and former colleagues at Astraeus. This is a serious plan involving people who are very good at their jobs."

He added "I am also involved in a project which could mean the creation of as many as 1,500 jobs in aerospace in South Wales. That could be a very good news story."

Dickinson piloted iron Maiden's boeing 757 dubbed "Ed Force One" for the band's 2008-2009 "Somewhere Back in Time World Tour", as well as their "The Final Frontier World Tour" in 2011.
