Or of Jetxtra, Must have some deep pockets to start with, or knows a lot of bigwigs.
A bit of both I think, his family was fairly wealthy from construction and I'm sure they can also open a lot of doors at that level. Nexus was bankrolled by a software company for example.
Just discovered today that Mr Reilly lost use of the JetXtra name after leaving the partnership with Sporting Events Global Ltd who continue to run the Humberside services. The partnership had been established in order to use SEGL's ATOL license but to do that they took all the revenue from bookings ( per CAA requirements ) and de facto became JetXtra.
I would assumed that the Spanish bonding arrangement prevents that having to happen again, so he remains in control of JetsGo and its revenue.
