I think this is the same team who attempted to start up as FlyBlu about two years ago to op B767 BHX-FLL. The name was challenged by another airline - JetBlue, I think. Hence a similar name to original one.
Good luck to them!

Flywho and saga
saga holidays who took up seats on the paper airline Flywho have now begun re-booking pax through other airlines from other airports. This is obviously not very good for the prospects of Flywho. The saga goes on!!!!!!!!!!!

Are Saga rebooking their clients just for the cancelled flights at the beginning of July or for the duration of their allocation?
If it is for the whole allocation it would be bad news for flywho as Saga clients (over 50's, high disposable income, retired etc etc) would be their ideal target.

There could be several reasons for the re-routing, the best scenario for flywho would be over-booking!!!
Anyone know of the aircraft type yet?

Those of us who have been operational in this industry for many years have been saying for MANY months that this operation would not start. (Many of us have worked for failed airlines/ new startups etc). This has generally been denounced by many of the 'spotter' types amongst the forums.
I would personally love to see lots more longhaul on offer from BHX, but MANY parts of this operation have never stacked up, immediately obvious to those that have seen similar failures over the years.
For the sake of those who's heads were 'in the sky' on this project, understand this, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN - got the message now?

I can't believe that an organisation like Saga books people on to what some folk describe as a paper airline. Having myself been qualified to join Saga for many years on account of my age and senility I did assume that the organisation was actually run by people who didn't suffer from those same problems.
I did actually speak to someone the other day who was booked on one of the earliest flights to Florida. She had been offered a later flight with a 50% discount and an assurance that an aircraft of some description would be arriving a few days before the new departure date.
To be serious I can't believe anyone or any organisation is daft enough to book with such an organisation without seeing something actually flying.

I am neither naive or as you imply, have a drink problem!
I have no reason to confirm my suitability to comment on this topic, only to say, having working for many many years within the airline industry and now a very successful aviation related business and I think I have an idea of what I'm talking about. My postings are based on experience and business sense. I'll agree my remark was flipant, it was meant tongue in cheek, you know, suggesting flywho had filled their flights, think about it.
If you read my previous posts on the subject you'll see I've been no fan of flywho from the beginning. However, being constantly negative and making statements like " IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN - got the message now" is childish.

The supposed start was early July and is now supposed to be late July.
Does the re booking cover this period or is it all the bookings.
Still dosnt look good does it.

In short, no direct slur on yourself intended, but rather a strong message to all the 'dreamers' on here......

30W, you say that this thread has been "full of dreamers", and superficially this would appear to be the case. But in reality it's only the WhoFlu? people themselves who will have been posting this trash, and their predeliction for posting to Prune probably explains why they're apparently in such a dire state. That's my view, anyway, and if you doubt it just read some of the posts from the people who claim to be unconnected to the project but "just believe in FlyWho". They're kidding only themselves as far as I'm concerned.

flywho reallity check
-28 days and no a/c. realism must be hitting the airline now on what a big task they have undertook, I really hoped that this venture took- off but unfortunately like all the rumours of transatlantic carriers out off bhx, doesnot look like it will take place. Shame but we will survive with another duplicated route by flybe or lingus.

If it works, and by that I mean continues to operate, not just for a few months (until investors money runs out) then they will have pulled off one hell of a coup! Almost no advertising, relying on a pretty basic website for sales, negative press and umpteen cancelled starts.
