How To Start An Airline
I have few questions about the process of starting an airline. Aside from the obvious costs associated with purchasing a fleet, hiring staff, et cetera, what legal procedures have to be carried out in order to get the airline into business? What licenses, credentials, et cetera, are required, and how much (and how long) does it take to get them? What qualifications are needed by the airline executives, and what management positions does the airline have to fill to begin operation? Finally, aside from the purchase of aircraft, slots, et cetera and the hiring of employees, how much does it typically cost, overall, to start a new airline (in terms of the administrative and legal costs, et cetera)?
This question has been asked by someone before but I would really like a detailed answer if possible.
