Vlm`s original founder will enter talks with creditors tomorrow morning regarding saving the company, with a view to keeping between 25-100 staff and initially operating charter and ad hoc services and then expanding into the scheduled market.

Looking at the planned timings, and bearing in mind Antwerp's close proximity to Brussels, I don't have too much hope for the BHX route to be a success. It will have very limited appeal to the business community who can complete a day's business using Brussels Airlines to & from Brussels. As for leisure travel, a Monday to Friday operation won't bring in too many punters from that field.
