Would anyone here risk their money on a new regional airline?

Friends of mine used SEN last week. Normally they go STN to ALI but were very impressed, finding SEN closer to home and much easier to park and use.

Caen has precious few links to anywhere else, so I can't see much potential for a Southend service !
Wishful thinking, maybe ?

This 'Join' airline seems to have been 4-5 years in the making, but yet to make their first flight. Either they are very meticulous with their planning or its one that will struggle to get off the ground and even then probably last a week.

Join is a never ending story. They´ll never get airborne I suppose. The initators announced that they´ve acquired City Airline from Sweden last year, but they never started anything. Aviation has something to do with money. If you haven´t it, you won´t get off the ground.

Whether Join! will ever become a reality I don't know, but the circumstances which resulted in City Airline not being revived were very unfortunate and certainly not the fault of the project's initiators. I admire their resilience in continuing their efforts to launch Join! later this year.

This has been translated from a German forum taken from the Munster/Osnabruck FB page.


The Facebook team has a new standard response to questions about London:

Hello ...
Thank you for your interest in the London flights.
The last flight with CityJet London City Airport is at 28.03. take place.
As it stands the London connection will continue, but not seamless.
Also there will be a change of airport in London.
We currently believe, in February or early March at the latest to make an official announcement.
A first flight is expected to take place before the month of May.

Oh no, we will have to wait a little longer for any announcement then.

Even if a May 1st start up was planned, it still doesn't give time to advertise and convince passengers to use their services. I wont hold my breath on this one, but wish them luck if they do get off the ground at last.

"...... if they do get off the ground at last."


Are you thinking that the airline is Join! then?

Check out the aer lingus regional thread. I think that answers the questions. RE to set up SEN base.

Aer Arann are now recruiting cabin crew for their new SEN base. I would assume some form of announcement which will reveal their exact plans cannot be far off now.

I hope so! I thought it might have been this week, but guessing it will be next week instead.

In the case of Join! it has been an exceptionally long pipeline and I don't think the end is yet in sight...

SEN-FMO

German media reporting that SEN-FMO is a June 2014 start operated by Aer Arann. This has also been confirmed by the CEO of FMO. A June start would also be perfect for taking over the EDI route too.


*Correction: Lost in translation. Read Expressflight's comment below.*

As far as I can see in the newspaper article the CEO of FMO said only that an "established international airline" would run the route; nothing about Aer Arann. The reference to them seemed to be from rumours on various aviation forums.


I think it will be Aer Arann, either in their own right or under a franchised brand, but it's still a bit early to be talking of it as being definite. Remember Jetisfaction?
