A key part of planning a business is market research. There is almost no market to research at the minute. Established, well financed airlines are in survival mode. Fares are on the deck. All across the U.K. airports and handling agents have cut services back. A new airline will have to negotiate with these entities which are also in low risk / survival mode to get them to hire more staff to service potential passengers which may or may not materialise. These companies will not negotiate on the cheap when they are already bleeding money.
There is much more to launching an airline than painting aircraft and hiring pilots and cabin crew. Anyone planning to launch an airline without waiting to see what the landscape looks like in 18 months is playing an outrageously high risk game with investors’ money.
