[mizake the mizzen]

For those interested a new Norwegian 'virtual' airline has been lauched with a start up in April2012.
Based at KRS/Kristiansand Airport in Norway it will operate a single EMB190/100Y (using Denimair's AOC) with a brand 'FlyNonStop'.
Flynonstop is not an AOC holder and therefore under Norwegian law they can only act as a'distributor'.

This Virtual Airline concept has worked for Manx2 all be it on a smaller scale.

It will be interesting to see how the airline performs. The LCY route will be a very interesting one to watch, it will be interesting to see if it lasts especially with its very late timings.

The late timings save a large amount of money in LCY charges. 20.00 is the boundary between (IIRC) "shoulder" and "off peak" so by only arriving at 20.00 the charges are a lot lower.

One thing which is unlikely is the 35 min turn at LCY, nothing over 30 is allowed unless in the middle of the day.

In response to BAladdy if you are going to fly a single daily flight I'd say those times look pretty good, it doesn't eat into the business day at either end
