idea out of left field-new domestic airline
was reading about Neeleman & his new Breeze airline in USA, which was going to use super cheap E195 jets from his Brazilian airline, as a start until his 60 x A220s arrived.
With Breeze start date now postponed, could Neeleman see one huge opportunity in Australia, if VA mark 2 doesn't get off the ground ?
He has the knowhow, he has the jets, he has the pilots/crew & other critical staff.
Are the Azul E195 jets similar to what VA used to fly around OZ ?
Or maybe he just picks up some very cheap B738s/A320s. Plenty of Australian crew available if no VA mark 2.
Everything Neeleman seems to touch in aviation, seems to turn to gold. 1stly Morris air bought out by Southwest, then he was involved somehow with start up of Westjet, then Jetblue, then Azul, then TAP Portugal.
