I stumbled across this the other day and found it interesting, to say the least. A startup airline that plans to operate 14 747-400s initially with max density seating (581 pax - can you say "cattle car"??) with fares ranging from $19 to $99. They expect 100% load factors and have a new business model for a revenue stream. Maybe it's the cynic in me, but I can't see using a widebody profitably for a 205nm segment (LAS to LAX) while filling seats. I'm also wondering who is extending the credit required to lease 14 747s. Last I heard that market was pretty tight. Their initial DOT filing was made in January this year. I guess that means the Part 121 application is in the works too? |
