Some local business men are apparently looking at starting a small airline out of Coventry. Looking to fly a Jetstream 41 (or possibly the smaller 31) or an Embraer Brasilia on domestic routes from Coventry which are understood to be Norwich, Plymouth/Exeter, Southampton/Bournemouth & possibly Doncaster/Humberside.

It certianly sounds ambitious & will be competing against a frequent Rail service on some of the routes if the plans ever come to fruitition. I know Exeter & Norwich were previously served from Birmingham but I don't know if they were succesful? Presumably chosen Cov' to Brum due to Coventry being cheaper?
