First thoughts were Flybe, Third time lucky...However one of the directors who appears to have had some experience of light turbo props is older than me!!..Neither have any sort of checkable previous company experience and the `Company address` is a virtual holding address...I`d say some kids fantasy to be honest...
 
One of the directors has commented over on Pprune confirming it's nothing but an expression of interest at this stage
 
  1. 15 Aircraft within 12 months
  2. Operational before 2026 is on the cards
  3. Regional uk destinations
My bets on the cards for Birmingham would be:

Derry:3 weekly
Newquay:2 weekly
Dundee:3 weekly
Inverness:5 weekly
isle of man 4 weekly
 
Fbook & Twitter accounts from February 2023.

So have they took over the previous attempts social media feeds.

Fbook page has Exeter on bio.
 
I think the days of air travel on small regional jet aircraft within the U.K. are pretty much gone now. Have some success with the Emerald services out to DUB and BHD from mainland U.K., and of course Aurigny from Channel Islands, but actually the inter U.K. routes are dead faced with competition on key city pairs by the like of Easyjet. Small operators cannot compete on price. It’s why Eastern have hacked away at their own network, they cannot compete on price and the premium fare paying business passenger demand has reduced. HUY-ABZ is a prime example, just not many travelling between the two now.

Might be some gaps, like MAN/LBA to SOU, but they’re not enough to create a viable business from.

Only way anything like this could work is to reduce seat costs to compete with A320 sized aircraft, and be able to offer frequencies high enough to provide flexibility to compete with surface access. How do you go about doing that?
 
I think the minimum size now is in the 72-100 seater category. Anything smaller isn't going to be able to offer competitive fares. Only place for smaller capacity are remote location services.

Even with those sized aircraft I can see issues for the most part. Be a tough job trying to compete with the heavies on price, those who probably run short inter-U.K. sectors at an expected loss. I imagine SOU are talking to easyjet about the possibility of linking up with MAN.

Unless there is a niche to carve, it’s not a goer in my view. Eastern became successful on the back of servicing the oil and gas sector where positioning passengers are travelling on company expense, and their break even load factors were tiny! That’s all but dried up now. Short of a one or two route airline, or being able to get in to LHR and offer hub and spoke routes to the U.K. regions (and who knows if/when such slots would become available!) can’t see anything coming of this.

Hi, I was born and lived in B36 for a long time - Lindale Avenue, just around the corner from Hodge Hill Comp.
I just noticed your postcode on a post.

Do you still live in the area?

49 trips undertaken last year. First done this year which was to North Wales where surprisingly the only slippery surfaces were in Conwy with the castle and it's walls closed due to the ice.
