jmc-man yes it would seem that easyJet didn't have to satisfy the CAA until they applied for their own AOC. As for NOW's financial arrangements, they do have the necessary in place it would seem. It's not so much the finance that's been holding them up, other issues have been getting in the way. Well, that's what I've been told anyway. Timetable will be released soon too !
Darth Vader MK2 Nice to see you. It wasn't me who got you barred, but glad to see that you are still a light year away from the facts
Can we keep to the topic in question here, and that is NOW Airlines start up

For info
I believe that when Easy-jet started, on other people's AOC (Gib-air then Air Foyle) they actually had an ATOL license which enabled them to sell the seats (just like a seat-only tour operator).
When you think that an ATOL requires a bond to pay passengers back in the event of an company failure, passengers would be better covered than being with a scheduled airline which, if it fails, you lose your money (unless you've paid with a credit card?)
Good luck to NOW, I think their going to need it.

Hi
I noted on another forum that 737-300 G-ZAPM was due on a training detail today at Prestwick as NWX001/2T.
Is NWX the code for NOW as it would appear to be a new allocation ?.

I don't think Titan would have their pizza removed for anyone, least of all NOW Airlines. But then, if NOW are going to be offering inflight catering, or snacks, maybe they will replace the pizza with a tea cup and biscuits 
Good news though that things are on the move, even if they are only base training. I wonder if jmc-man is about to eat the hat

Despite all the criticisms, I do hope things work out for Now - at least with fixed pricing you know exactly what you'll be paying not like some other so called low costers!
On my wish list would be Luton to Belfast City - a lot of people I've spoken to are sick of having to travel miles away from Belfast to BFS for what are supposed to be cheap fares but turn out to be anything but!
Good luck Now!

I hope the Titan connection was only a short term lease to operate the training detail. If they are seriously considering a long term lease from Titan then NOW! will last about five minutes because their ACMI rates are pure evil. Their 733 is the worst of the lot because Titan pay more a month for that then they do their 757.

I am fairly confident that the Titan 733 was only used as a trainer and will not form part of the fleet. Just a good way for Titan to get some revenue, and for NOW to get base training done on a 733.

...from the NOW website..
I suppose it will depend on NOW's definition of soon. Based on their version, the champagne will be vintage.
I can't guarantee it (the champagne!!) will survive christmas.
