Trans Atlantic flights from LPL

So the answer to the question is no, you don't, or you wouldn't be asking...

At this moment Sky Blue Atlatic does not exist as such.

But judging by its site, its a UK company.

A lot of the wording and phraseology is reminiscent of Fly Blue/Who.

cheers

FormerFlyer, you're quite right. Compare flywho's website text:
A massive 38" seat pitch for those passengers in the rear cabin, departures in the middle of the day to allow you time to travel and park without hitting the worst the roads have to offer, stylish air hostesses and stewards taking care of you in the way that things used to be done, and all for a price that won't break the bank!
and skyblueatlantic's:
A massive 34" seat pitch for those passengers in the rear cabin, departures in the middle of the day to allow you time to travel and park without hitting the worst the roads have to offer, Our cabin crew taking care of you in the way that things used to be done, and all for a price that won't break the bank!
That's not "reminiscent", that's pretty much a straight lift!

Elsewhere a little proofreading wouldn't hurt:

In brief, you should know the following about us: our company was established in 2004. Our specialty is in the area in the long haul travel market.
Based on the evidence I'd say their speciality (that's "speciality" unless they don't know how to set the spell checker to something other than US English) is plagiarism and incoherence. Another after-school project, perhaps?

Talking sky blue atlantic

hi anybody got more updates from sky blue , i read somewhere that they have just got the funding.

as far as the website is up i understand it was a marketing cock up at the webmaster design chappie.

my eyes are glued will be good for the area.

I think Mr Buckner is seriously pulling our collective plonkers! Glad to be proved wrong though.

i think only time will tell, but will be nice to see an airline apart from the usual suspects start
i understand they have worked closely with the council getting the neccessary grants,

why would someone start a web if it is not going to come into a reality

maybe im naive but as i said time will tell.

something is going on as i rand for a nosey and they would not say anything about it unless i saigned an nda, got little bits but nothing cert only the thing in the papers about completion of funding

"why would someone start a web if it is not going to come into a reality"

Because the costs of buying a domain and appointing a spotty teenager to build a website can be a two figure sum.

Actually launching an airline usually needs a seven figure sum.
