I agree with you 43inches. The overall concept does not make sense to me. A small fleet of large capacity and expensive aircraft operating infrequent all economy services with low cost airfares between low volume city pairs. Starting with the overhang of huge start up costs per aircraft and little opportunity for economies of scale. Little or no air cargo offering between their city pairs to help pay for the fuel.

We have just learnt Flybe of Birmingham in the UK has collapsed. Affiliated with Cyrus Partners a hedge fund in the US Flybe operated a fleet of 8 all economy aircraft and carried approx. 2,500 pax per day. With 2 hubs, 22 routes and 16 destinations the similarities between Bonza and Flybe are frightening.

Deano. Tell me I am wrong
