Luton-New York with Fly First Airlines
HAMISH Taylor, the former Eurostar and British Airways executive, is
raising £20m for the UK's first business class-only Transatlantic
airline.

Taylor's new venture, Fly First, plans to run a fleet of 48-seat
aircraft between London Luton and Newark, near New York.

Taylor, who was managing director and then chief executive of
Eurostar between 1997 and 1999, has assembled a team of high-fliers
for his new venture, based in Edinburgh.

The other directors include Peter Villa, the former managing
director of Air UK; Bill Troup, the former managing director of
Royal Bank Ventures; and John Campbell, the former sales and
marketing director of Scottish Mutual.

They have spent the past year working on the idea, which would be a
first for the UK. Lufthansa has run business-only flights between
Germany and the US for two years, and Swiss International Airlines
will launch a similar service from Zurich today.
