From the linked article:
According to Alastair Willson, who will take over the company’s management and development of Avia Solutions Group’s Charter and ACMI business in the UK, establishing a local AOC will benefit UK airlines, charter customers and consumers.
“Our immediate focus is on working with the UK CAA to obtain a Type A Operating License, which shall enable us to offer ACMI and Charter services with 180 to 200-seat capacity aircraft by the end of the year. Our aim is then to offer UK customers locally based aircraft and crews to provide a more flexible and reliable service, minimising operational disruptions,” he said.

Ascend are now recruiting for Boeing 737-NG and MAX pilots to be based at LGW:

Their first aircraft is B738 G-HODL ex LY-BUS and their website states that aircraft will be stationed at LGW and SEN. Previously they has indicated only that LGW would be their base. I understand that initial crew training will be carried out at SEN.

I hope they are successful. I feel the UK needs a decent ACMI operator, Titan seems a bit all over the shop and seems to be focusing on Cargo more lately, surprised they're still in business to be honest, but am very glad they are.
Lots of demand for ACMI from BY, LS occasionally BA.

Presumably an airline run by Spurs fans with a registration like that for their first aircraft?
