110x 7 seater Learjets for a new luxury airline. Evidence that the rich are getting richer...?

Another airline to go under shortly..??

Well, our MP's have to get around somehow...

If they are careful they could do really well. There are people who can and will pay quite a bit extra for a flight to where and when they want to go, and they don't usually travel on their own, so the 7 seats are about right.

Best of luck to 'em. In hard times, big companies will be looking to cut costs, and maybe offloading their own corporate jets. so he may do well.

I'd have thought he'd might start with 20 odd jets though! Having 110 will mean almost 500 pilots + cabin crew to maintain.

Haven't people like Netjets been doing this kind of thing for a while?

Won't be short in finding pilots though.

Wait, what?

Last time I flew, I got a hot meal and I had a large 10" screen in front of me.
