According to this newspaper article
Bid to bring back Heathrow flights (From The Northern Echo)
Excelsis are planning to operate a "triangular route" with their 737 from Durham to LHR to LCY.
I do hope their passengers enjoy the free swim in the Thames when their 44 seat executive 737 runs off the runway...
I suspect their credibility is being tested somewhat with that sort of comment.

Excelsis website now launched - London City with Dash Eight 400's from mid September. Couple of interesting points from their press release:
it’ll be the first airline to be based in the region since northeast airlines was swallowed up by british airways in 1973.
* note to editors* - please be aware that for operational reasons - and to protect the confidentiality of some of our partners - there will be no interviews - or further information about excelsis airways operations at this time. however, more details will be released in the next few weeks so watch this space. ..

The fact that Durham has been spelt incorrectly on the website is a strong suggestion that this is still a university project, just with a more realistic aircraft type.
The list of vacant positions is also slightly dubious - does a one aircraft outfit flying one route really need a uniform and grooming officer?
Good luck with the dissertation I say, but don't rush to apply for a job!

Plenty of Jobs at Excelsis
Just been on the website for Excelsis, and looks like they have copied all of the info from flyPorter.com. The part where it says cabin crew must have a canadian passport kinda gives it away. I'll believe this when it happens!

The website is at least a major triumph of style over substance. Shame about the "Duhram Teesvalley" bit 
"customer service representative - baggage"
There's a job title to aspire to, but in the qualifications :
"ability to communicate and correspond clearly and precisely in english & french"
What's that all about ? Has someone been cutting and pasting from somewhere ? Not suggesting anything untoward but flyporter.com careers section seems strangely familiar ...
geordiejet - you beat me to it

The whole thing has a distinctly Porteresque feeling about it. I don't suppose that Porter is, in fact, one of the "partners" whose identity they are keen not to disclose at this stage? It would at least explain where they are getting Q400s from, given that there aren't exactly a lot available.
New start up Excelsis have launched their website - proposing 3 daily DHC-8 srs 400 flights from DTVA from mid-September. Comments on the DTVA thread have pointed out similarities to the flyPorter website (i.e. cabin crew requiring Canadian passports...)

EDIT - another 'dubious' quote
excelsis airways is the only short-haul premium carrier in the uk

A capital letter wouldn't go a miss either.
Also, as the website is up, how come it takes until September to get the seats on sale when they will be launching in September?! Surely you would want the seats on sale asap to sell as many seats as possible?
We'll see...

If this is all real (admittedly a big "IF" right now - interesting that DTVA make no reference to it on their website...which you'd rather think they would for such a prospective major new operation)...could it be an arrangement with flyBe along the same lines as the Olympic Air deal?

The whole thing is totally hokey.
Just reading the site there are so many inaccuracies and inconsistencies as well as "we won't make any press statements".
Utter tripe.
