There's also Orbital Aviation, a spin off of Orbital Access.
They plan on a range of destinations from Prestwick.

Aviation ? ORBITAL ACCESS

Chairman's relevant experience seems to be sitting in someone else's aeroplanes.
Priceless!

That spluge of poo could have been spoken by Trump! I would neither join, nor travel with, a company whose CEO cannot write a couple of paragraphs of joined up English. Further, exclamation marks are not part of a CV or promotion. Certainly not one that I would believe.

I'd suggest that 2018 may see closures rather than startups. Startups tend to be generated in the 'good years' but, often, by the time they are launched - it is 'bad years'. Eos and the like are examples of the last cycle.

The CAA for purposes of repatriation flights must keep an eye on the health of airlines and Flybe went to the top of their list after Monarch.

Can't find it now but someone dropped the famous "If you want to make a small fortune in aviation, start with a big one" line, I think Desmond Norman said it better:

"You can make fortunes out of aviation -I am proof, having made three. You can also lose fortunes out of aviation. I have lost four."

Still, fundraising is going well. They have already raised £2,000 towards their £500,000,000 target.

Dammit they're £2,000 ahead of my planned airline! Though I think I might have a more rational fleet plan than 737, A320NEO, 777 and 787.

I was going to discount it as a school project but they've registered a company which seems a lot of annual hassle. 10841994 at Companies House.

Maybe it's some form of performance art.

That's truly embarrassing, who in their right mind would fund them? The 'CEO' (pfft) can't even form coherent sentences.

I shudder at the thought of it.

I love the fact that his dad is the chairman and he's travelled a bit, his mum is one of 2 MDs, one of his mates who he did cabin crew training with is head of cabin crew and is a "security expert" (CAA will love that) his wife is apparently the 2nd MD and they did have some Eastern European guy who looked like he had some real experience as COO but that now has been removed so I can only assume they lifted a photo and resume from someone legit who has now threatened legal action if they don't remove him (purely my assumption). As for the CEO...it looks like he's checked in all sorts of airlines prior to completing his cabin crew training. Still, it looks like he's as qualified as the guy who's heading up Firnas...give me strength....

Oh and the London city address phone number is a Thailand phone number.

The Hypnoboon

Prestwick to Cardiff? Flying from one airport in the middle of nowhere with zero demand to another. Either substance abuse is taking place or this is yet another student project. Either way, it won't happen.
