Anyone know anything about new planned UK A330 operator Sentra Airways? Supposedly planning MAN ACC as first route. According to Flight Global the airline says it will solve the problems “of hundreds of passengers”. That should fill the aircraft for a few days - not sure what happens thereafter.

Another short lived dream gone.
Several similar UK start ups have come and gone over the last few years.

Does the CAA have a "Beginner's guide to starting an airline and some basic advice of what you will need" ?
It seems like it would save an awful lot of trouble not just for the CAA, but also for would-be airline execs who are very much out of their depth ?
Neither side comes out of this sort of situation looking good

Sadly, too many people with more money than sense think they know better than the regulator. Or think that the rules are merely suggestions. It all ends in tears.
