I would imagine that as a new start up handlers, airports, fuellers etc will be asking for deposits to be paid before operations can begin. You don't give new guys like this credit.

UKIA Booking Section
I don't think I'm allowed to send a link, but if you go on their website and click on deals, down the left hand side their is 'ticket tracking' click on that and it opens the booking section.
(I hope this info is allowed by the mods.)
Hope this helps

Poster for UKIA now in the wiindow of the Aviation hobby shop in the EMA terminal... 
It says:
* British airline with British values
* Better seat pitch than other airlines even in economy
* Good food in quality and quantity!
* No alcohol served onboard!!!
Seems to be a bit of a contradiction between the first item and all the others!
I guess that the final point above sets the expectation in terms of their target market!

PS: Second a/c apparently expected at EMA on 16th November. I'm told first a/c will then do Hajj, the second a/c will do the schedule from then on

But still no schedules..
Frankly, it matters not a jot how many travel agencies they have alledgedly signed up - they still haven't published a schedule. And as for "most of the flights being full, - come on!!?
If any flights are full I would wager they are the Hajj charters that will (hopefully) keep them afloat until they get their "scheduled airline" act together.
As I have said previously, would you give your money to an airlines like this? I certainly wouldn't; in the same way that I would not have paid a penny to FlyWho.

UKIA have proved most folk wrong including me by getting an AOC, give them a chance. I suspect the chances of you flying on them for nothing are slim let alone paying your own money for a seat. The Haj would be an excellent way of recouping the £ for having an aircraft sitting around for 4 months or so.

Hi
I have rang EMA today to find the latest on UKIA and they have said and i quote, they have never heard of them and they definalty have no handling agaent for them at EMA.
I am sorry guys, but this sounds well dodgy, flight starting in a few days now and yet no one at the airport where they are based knows of them ?
They do not have an office at EMA as the lady at EMA did tell me this, what are your thoughts on this everyone ?

Hi Paul
I know it has been there, i have seen this myself, and i also live in Castle donington, but does this really mean anything ?
I know that sounds silly, but going back to my recent postings, What are your thoughts ?
come on a new Ailrine starting on Friday, and EMA knows nothing of them, no advertising no nothing ...
