Finas Airways
Screened last night (13th june 2018 - Channel 4 2230)), How to start an airline (or not). Really quite astounding, a UK muslim, attempts to start a new airline, while established as a retailer in perfume attempted. he applies 'Alan Sugar' type barrow boy business techniques. Firstly he decides to set up a route between the relatively unknown airports of Lydd and Waterforford, i can not imagine why. He has the idea to charge Llyd and Waterford £250,000 and no parking fees to 'put them on the map', of course they are having none of this. In the middle of all this was a british aviation consultant, who i rather liked, especially when he admonished his client for his time keeping! art of the business plan was to raise money through 'crowdfunding and to be a sharia airline, quite why he thought this was a unique selling point for what an international business, as well as a good way of putting off non muslim passengers. Having set his sight on a big jest he settles for a Jetstream 31, quite how this fits with a sharia airline, with change of separate ablutions for men and women or operating males a females with a curtain. The Jetstream 31 has 23,000 hours was G-LNKS and now 2-LCXD in private ownership, he does't question why the aircraft has been grounded for two years and the reliability of old Jetream 31s. It was not clear what has happened to Firnas Airways.
