For the first year Stelios wet-leased 2 x B737-200`s. Once the cash was coming in he had had the time to negotiate dry leases, set up an AOC and recruit the necessary staff to have his own airline set-up.
At the time he was only flying to GLA and EDI.
Hope that helps you.

I believe Stelios studied at the London School of Economics and did a project into the american airline Southwest and thought "I can do that". With his financial background (father a shipping magnate) and contacts he was able to get going and the rest as they say is history.
Hope this helps

There was an article in the Daily Telegraph about 5 months ago all about his business career,you many be able to search there web site.
It said that his father loaned him £5 million to start the airline and the another £50 million soon after. It makes sence to sourse the money from family and not the volatile banking industry.
