300 return on a Jetstream 31, and they said they wanted to offer business class service at economy fares?
This chap is behind the idea. Hopefully he'll be better than Halstead...
From Wikipedia:
Hayat originally founded HiAir in July 2010. He originally had a launch party for the ad-hoc
air charter brokerage scheduled for July 28th 2010. However it was reported that the party at
East Midlands Airport was cancelled the day before due to an administrational error.
[16] It is rumored that the party was in fact scheduled to be at
Gamston Airport.
It was later reported that the cancellation wasn't due to administration issues and was in fact due to the difficulties that Hayat reportedly faced with
HM Revenue Customs,
UK Border Agency and
Special Branch over border control requirements and security concerns that stopped the party and operations from occurring and both hindered his operation and relationship with the airport. This was confirmed by Hayat when he later launched operations in August 2010 operating from no specific airport base
[17][18][19]
In November 2010 it was revealed that Joseph had received investment from Ben King at the expense of 51% of his company and that HiAir had in fact become incorporated as a
limited company.
[20] Hayat is thus the Co-Director of HiAir Ltd, and the company is based in
Wellingore,
UK specialising in air charter and corporate travel.
In May 2011 it was announced that HiAir would operate a daily service between
Robin Hood Airport and
Amsterdam Airport.
