To give an insight into Classairs inspirations, please note below an article from a recent edition of the Scotsman.
Take from it what you will but it does not fill me full of hope.
The only aircraft that I know they have is a PA31 which seems to spend its time at Prestwick or Perth.
Islay flights put on hold

A NEW airline says it remains committed to launching passenger services between Prestwick and Islay and Campbeltown this year, even though it is currently grounded.
ClasAir has asked the Civil Aviation Authority to suspend its air operations certificate (AOC) temporarily while repairs are carried out to its aircraft.
Operators need an AOC to run a scheduled passenger service in the UK. The no-frills ClasAir, which was launched in 2002 by Nirmal Singh, the millionaire boss of an Indian restaurant, announced recently it planned to start twice-daily routes to Islay and Campbeltown this year, its first venture into scheduled services. However the service to Islay will not take off for at least another two months, while the Campbeltown service is planned for later in the year.
Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd (HIAL), the Scottish Executive-owned company that runs ten airports in the Highlands and islands, including on Islay and at Campbeltown, has raised doubts the services could start in the immediate future.
A spokesman said: "HIAL has been in discussion with ClasAir for a number of months regarding the airline’s proposals to fly scheduled services to HIAL airports in the south-west of Scotland. However, no agreement has yet been reached on these proposals.
"ClasAir has still to resolve a number of operational issues on its side before the discussions can move forward and final arrangements be concluded for the potential start of these services.
"At this time, ClasAir has not addressed the operational and statutory requirements ... and HIAL awaits further developments."
David Hunter, ClasAir’s operations manager, said: "We put our AOC into voluntary suspension pending the repairs to our aircraft. We have had to wait for parts for the aircraft and keeping everything going to maintain a proper AOC we were wasting money and so the easiest thing to do was suspend it."He added: "We are looking to Islay as being the first scheduled route and hopefully we can start about April or May."
