In the Saturday newspaper in the Netherlands, there was an advertisement of a new airline called "luvtofly", They like to hire cabinattendants, crewschedulers, etc.. Probably they want to operate out of Niederrhein in Germany, a few kilometres from the Netherlands. Does anyone knows something more about this airline? I think it is a daughtercompany of air exel |(based in maastricht). They have some plans to startup a lowcost airline out of Niederrhein. Number 5 or 6 in Germany. Their website is www.luvtofly.com
