Hot off the Ashington and Guidepost Daily news travel section :
A local secret billionaire has reformed Gill Air. The new company has ordered 10 new Boeing Dreamliners and has committed to start operating a long haul hub at Newcastle Airport.
His first destination, due to be launched in Spring 2008, will be Oklahoma as he's always been a big fan of the musical.
Further routes will follow but the new owners are adamant that New York will NOT be one of them as they don't like yellow taxis.
Newcastle's CEO was quoted as 'We are very pleased to hear that Gill Air will be flying again and I'm sure that they will be happy with the new Mail apron'.
GM quoted 'I hope they have a better on time performance that that lot FlyJet'.
The new EK Manager was quoted as 'Competition, pah, we've sold zillions of seats already so who cares'
