99% of the bookings will be done by their appointed GSA's in UK. I dont think so they are going to book online initially.

Does anyone know if UKIA intend to obtain their own AOC or is someone operating the aircraft for them? If the former, I don't see how they could possibly do all the necessary work and get operating before early summer. By that time they would have burned their way through plenty of cash, so lets hope it's the former.

From ATI
Start-up UK International details plans for April launch
Kerry Ezard, London (05Mar07, 11:25 GMT, 293 words)
UK International Airlines, a Sheffield-based start-up, is planning to begin
scheduled flights from East Midlands Airport to the UAE and Pakistan next
month using a pair of leased Boeing 767-200s, and has ambitions of
increasing its long-haul fleet to up to 25 aircraft within five years.
The carrier has leased two former United Airlines 767-200s from Wells Fargo,
which are currently undergoing pre-delivery checks in Brunei, UK
International chairman and CEO M H Khaliq tells ATI.
The start-up will take delivery of its first aircraft later this month,
shortly after which it expects to receive its full worldwide scheduled air
operator’s certificate (AOC) from the UK CAA. The second 767-200 will be
delivered as the carrier’s route network develops.
UK International plans to launch operations from East Midlands Airport in
April and will initially serve Sharjah in the UAE as well as Islamabad and
Lahore in Pakistan. The carrier also plans to offer charter services during
the Hajj and Umrah religious pilgrimages, and will tailor its on-board
service to meet the needs of the UK-based Asian community.
Khaliq says the carrier aims to increase its long-haul fleet to between 20
and 25 aircraft within five years, and expand its network to include
Manchester and London Stansted in the UK. He adds the airline is in talks
with Stansted Airport, and that eight new destinations throughout the Middle
East, the Indian sub-continent and North America will be introduced to its
network in the future.
UK International is being privately funded and the carrier’s key
shareholders are members of the Khaliq family, as well as other UK-based and
overseas investors. The start-up has appointed the former director of
Pakistan’s civil aviation authority, Salim Arshad, as its commercial
director, and is currently recruiting for cabin crew.

Totally agree with you there bmibaby. Although it will be sad if it doesn't return next winter.
PLUS: Is the first UKIA a/c still on track for arriving in EMA on Thursday (15th).
Thanks
