I assume he means a wet-lease carrier, i.e. one that sells capacity to tour operators, other airlines, etc rather than directly to Joe Public.
This is what would hitherto have been called a "charter carrier" but these days the charter boys are all relabelling themselves "leisure carriers" and selling seat-only.
His reference to being the "top broking airline in Ireland" in a couple of years thus translates as "We're going to be bigger than Eirjet and bigger than Aer Lingus's/Futura's/Flyjet's Irish charter operations."
