Things seem to be progressing for the company and acquisition of a third aircraft, to enable the airline to launch in December, seems quite likely. Saw this, a bit of which was taken from their website....

"Following our letter of intent to secure two Boeing 767-200 aircraft from Thomsonfly Limited, we are pleased to announce that, on 19th September 2006, we entered into a letter of intent for $37 million of financing with Novus Aviation Limited to sell and lease back, and to fund the refurbishment and fit out of the two aircraft. The arrangements extend for a period of ten years and include, within the fit out, the purchase and installation of the new Sicma flat beds.

Negotiations to secure a third Boeing 767-200 are at an advanced stage and a further announcement will be issued in due course. We are also putting the final preparations in place to start taking bookings soon. A call centre will support our website and will go live on the same day".
