FLYMATE you seems to be in the know so is there any definate news on the route structure or will that be released once the AOC has been issued ? Makes sense to start selling tickets on 29th, 2 days after the proving flight. AOC should be issued then on 28th if all goes well on 27th !! Thanks

How bizarre!
FLYMATE makes a post that the proving flight is happening on the 27th, sales start on 29th and first flight on December 12th.
Then he deletes it.......
It is unheard of to delay sales until after the AOC proving flight. It actually infers a lack of confidence in the Flight Ops team in getting an AOC at all. If the Team is confident of getting an AOC , it would be planned for 4 days before the first commercial flight, and sales would have commenced 3 months before first flight.
Unless the problem is an Operating licence ( The financial end of things)
All very strange.....

Do they have an airline code yet?
Can anyone tell us if the airline has a 2-letter code yet? I need it for an article about LCCs. Same question for the Italian airline Air Freedom.

thefareguru I have no idea but then after subscribing via the website some months ago, so as to receive updates, I have yet to receive 1 single message from them. I also wonder if the prices shown on the home page will actually be those quoted when seat sales actually start 
I do hope though that it starts as it plans.

Yeah, I also applied to be on the mailing list on about day 2 of the website coming on and got the same as you.
If they don't do something soon, I may end up creating my own 4-LETTER CODE for them.

thefareguru I did a bit of investigating and disovered that NOW's 3 letter code was "SUN" but has been changed to "NWX". MY source also states that things are actually rolling ahead as planned, although the plan has changed somewhat since they first made an announcement. Like someone else said on here, page 3 or 4 was it, "watch this space"........

With 2 737's being prepared for delivery and a proving fight due shortly, ticket sales will then happen.
I still think that EBBR is a waste of time especially as you will be able to Eurostar it from St Panc (Southern end of Mid mainline) and the Belgian capital!

I hear the 2 733's are at FLS in STN. Anyone seen the livery yet ?
FLYMATE seems also, according to gossip locally, that EZY are delaying release of the aircraft off lease so removing your post is trivial if true

Still nothing from Now....
Winter season starts this weekend. If earlier rumours are to be believed, Now will be flying in just under 7 weeks' time.
Will that be enough time to take sufficient early bookings?
Have any green 737s been spotted yet?
Have the proving flights taken place?
I really hope things get off the ground, but the longer there's no news, the more sceptical I become.

I have been told that the Boeing 737-300s that are in the FLS AEROSPACE hangers in London-Stansted, are in fact G-IGOE, G-IGOF & G-IGOC, the first three aircraft to be delivered to Go Fly that were on lease from GECAS and are being overhauled before being returned to the lessor for a "new client" as their leases with EasyJet/Go have now expired.
Whether or not these new rumors indicate that the three Boeing 737-300s are for Now or for another airline is yet to be seen.

B737-300's
Could this be where the GECAS -300's are going?
