1. Find a backer with shedloads of money to burn.
2. Go to a manufacturer (try Airbus or Boeing, though this list is not exhaustive) and choose a few aircraft of about the right size. Reasonably large is a good start as you won't have many a/c to start off with so you need as many seats as possible. Second hand is also a possibility.
3. Find somewhere handy to base them (they will need to be parked somewhere when they aren't flying). At the moment you might want to try Durham Tees Valley or Doncaster-Sheffield-Barnsley-Rotherham Friar Tuck International as there is loads of space.
4. Find somewhere to fly to. See where is popular from other airports, is within range of your aircraft, and isn't served from your base. Try Tenerife, Palma or Malaga in Summer, Geneva or Munich in Winter or city destinations such as Paris and Amsterdam all year round. Forget about Heathrow, it's full.
5. Find a catchy name. Avoid the needlessly humourous, anything too grandiose or any reference to Beans. No one will take you seriously.
6. Get some crew. Drivers are hard to come by, cabin staff are slightly easier to recruit and train. Try a wet lease package.
7. Sit back and watch the money roll in.........
