European Startups 2019
Unsure whether this would belong in Rumours & News or here.
But thought it might be interesting to have a thread about all of the startups (or supposed startups) this year.
What happened to Odyssey Airlines and their all-Business class LCY ops, or Firnas with that ugly jet stream.
Atmosphere Airlines seem to be getting more and more deluded by the day.
In positive news(ish), Great Dane Airlines, made up primarily of former Primera Air bosses and staff seems like it’s kicking into gear next month.

Apparently FlyPOP have now secured offices at Stansted Airport but I haven’t heard of them having any aircraft yet.
(it was JetPoP btw)

Atmosphere Airlines is a made up startup by a fantasist.

I do wonder if Atmosphere and Odyssey were the idea of the same delusional character. Atmosphere have been saying they are launching from STN each season for the last 3 years. Love the fact that the board is his dad as CEO who apparently flies to MIA on VS for holidays and this qualifies him for the role. He's a check-in agent and his mate who's CEO UK is cabin crew. His mum is MD UK and his Thai bride is MD Thailand. Oh yes, his mum's mate is CFO as she's looked after her husband's books in, and I quote, "The thriving city of Chelmsford Essex"

If you need a bit of cheering up, i'd highly recommend visiting the website, sure to have a laugh or two (especially the 'About us' section

Public ridicule of someone who harms nobody but knows not what they do to themselves is maybe a little unfair. Virtually everyone has written stupid things on Facebook... if nobody gets hurt, be a bit forgiving

Odyssey seemed to be a somewhat legitimate setup, had a full board of directors, actually ordered aircraft, and even published financials every month. But they seem to have vanished into thin air.

He's getting people interested in applying for jobs with his fantasy company so that's far from harmless.
A complete waste of everyone's time and opens the doors to all sorts of unpleasant future actions.........

If you're seeking investment, you have to be careful about how many people you get to invest and how you audit.
I've investigated an investment to start up in this sector before and I'm certain most of these you see and listed here haven't given consideration to their duties in getting investment and how many people they seek money from.
