If you book a trip with the new, Danish airline Great Dane Airlines, you may very well come out and fly with the director himself.
the 39-year-old Thomas Hugo Moller is a trained pilot, and he’s not going to leave the control completely to its employees.
I can not avoid, it is too expensive to let be. If a pilot is sick, so the money is quickly earned back, I am in the cockpit rather than cancel, he explains.
The flying director at the Danish gunpowder in the ass. He may actually not help.
When he was a pilot, he started in his spare time, a company that sold dog food.
– I was bored with myself, when I had the freedom, he says and explains that he has just sold dyrefoderbiksen to be able to concentrate fully on the new business.
In spite of bibeskæftigelsen Thomas have also got the time for exercise of both the one and the other kind.
– I have made six children, however, not with the same wife, they hold only for three each, he laughs and stresses that he is well married today.
His oldest child is 16, while the youngest are twins of three. But although there surely is gunpowder in such a bunch, they must get up early to keep up with dad.
– I have run the marathon 56 times. It is, when I run, I get the good ideas.
the Idea of an airline with a base at Aalborg Airport have sprouted in vendelboen any time, but to lift such a large project, we need more pundits.
Thomas Hugo Moller didn’t have to look far for a partner. The two founders live in the same residential street in the town of Hjørring and have children of the same age.
– the Idea came about actually over the hedge in the nursery, says the 40-year-old Duc Nguyen who is a trained economist, and now also the co-founder and cfo of an airline.

In the nursery caught the pilot Thomas the businessman Duc with his idea of a Danish airline. In the pure Lion’s den-style jumped the Duc, and in the summer they began then to work seriously on the project.
– It is quite smart to work together with its neighbor, when you spend so many hours on it, says Duc.
They are now in the process of hiring pilots and stawardesser, which all have one thing in common with the founders.
– We only get the Danish employees, but they are bilingual. They speak Danish and the north, says the director, who does not even hide that he has roots north of the Limfjord.
Cfo Duc I resounding the north.
– I’m so in northern jutland, as one can be. It is difficult to run from. It is especially in Copenhagen, they pay attention to the dialect, he says – yes – in northern jutland.
But as the name Duc Nguyen reveals, the tribes he is not from Vendsyssel.
– I came as bådflygtning from Vietnam in 1987. We came to Hirtshals and there I am, grown up.
the Name Great Dane Airlines looking unmistakably in mind of the comedy of the Clown Forever, Casper Christensen provides the gas as the Great Dane – the great dane – in Los Angeles and get Frank Hvam with out to buy a Grand Danois.
however, It is a marketingsfirma, who has taken on the name, even though the director himself has little in common with the good gentlemen of the Clown.
– There is not so much Casper C. over it. We are just proud of Denmark and will show it off when we fly. But I have actually even a great dane, reveals Thomas Hugo Moller.
It’s called Jean, is six years, and has been denied access in the day in the airport. A big dog with big paws and a big snout results in easy any gratværk. And it is no good when one is immaculately dressed in a suit.
– He has not been allowed to join, I will soon be grattet to the. But I’m really a dog person. I have had dogs always, tells the flying director.
