Hooters Air? Owner Offers To Buy Vanguard Assets
Hearing In Bankruptcy Court Scheduled Wednesday
Posted: 2:34 p.m. EDT September 20, 2002

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A group headed by the owner of the Atlanta-based Hooters
restaurant chain plans to make an offer Friday for some of the assets of
bankrupt Vanguard Airlines.

Hooters Air LLC is led by Hooters of America chairman and owner Robert H.
Brooks. He hopes to restart the Kansas City-based discount carrier as
Hooters Air Inc.

"I am approaching the Vanguard transaction a little differently than when I
first started. I now believe I will require support from other sources to
build the kind of airline I desire," Brooks said in a press release. "I
have, however, become more committed than ever to the goal of providing
quality air service for Kansas City, which I found to be a great city with
the a lot of good people and a strong economy."

Hooters Air would not reveal how much it planned to offer Vanguard's board
of directors for its assets. But Hooters spokesman Mike McNeil says the
figure would be a "very small part of the overall funding" to restart the
airline.

All of Vanguard's airplanes were leased, but Hooters plans to buy assets such as airplane parts, ground equipment, furniture and fixtures.

A spokeswoman for Vanguard did not immediately return a phone call seeking
comment Friday.

A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Kansas City
on a request from Vanguard to sell about $4.6 million in assets -- some of
which Hooters Air wants to buy.

Hooters Air already has given Vanguard about $50,000 per week since mid-August to maintain a skeleton staff while it considered whether to buy
the assets of the low-fare carrier. Vanguard shut down and filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection on July 30.

Hooters Air said it hoped to use former Vanguard employees to build the new
airline. More than 1,000 workers were laid off when Vanguard closed.

The new airline would fly about five of Vanguard's current routes, with more
to be added later. Vanguard had served 18 cities.

yeaj I recall hearing something about that a while back. Guess who they're going to use as stewardesses. (I know, I know, flight attendants, but honestly in this case I think stewardesses is acceptable.)
