Premjet

Not from Wikipedia but from the MEN via UK Airport News 03 June.

It appears from the LTN thread that they intend to operate from there too.

Interesting, especially in the light of the current state of the economy !!

A new luxury-class airline is pressing ahead with plans to start flying from Manchester Airport despite the problems engulfing the sector - with all three all business class airlines operating from the UK failing in the last six months - the Manchester Evening News reports.

Premjet is preparing to start operations next spring using 80-seater Boeing 737 jets. It plans to fly to Malaga and Alicante in Spain, Faro in Portugal and Palma, Majorca with a total of 14 services a week.

The new luxury airline will target well-heeled leisure travellers, including people with holiday homes, across the north. Director Andy Mitchell told the newspaper: ‘We continue to seek investment and our timetable remains unaffected. We believe the demand exists for our service and we believe it will be successful.’

He said passengers would be able to check in online and would have access to airport lounges, adding that fares would be `competitive'. Premjet is headed by chief executive Chris Belcher and its board includes former Manchester Airport director Paul Connellan, who is a non-executive and is acting as a consultant. It is based in Croydon.
