Hmmm, 'the lowfare airline with the frills' it calls itself. Looking at the timetable it is a single aircraft required. Better be reliable. Free newspapers, and food from the region around Parma (implied to be free). Flying the BAe146 (though it doesn't say this on the website, lots of pictures of 757s and things, preseumably stolen from Boeing's website). Large swathes of the general information page sound copied from Ryanair (e.g. "Ciao Fly is a point to point airline..." etc, even though no sensible connections could ever be made - in the summer timetable!) Fares from Euro19......

I agree it sounds exactly like Debonair.

That said, theres a book out called 'No Frills' where in an interview with Mancessola he admits the 146 was the wrong type of aeroplane, but remains coinvinced the rest of the operation "very nearly made it".

But good luck to them anyway.
