Some more info re Global Airlines A380 purchase !

Time for a new "A380 Global Airlines" board then? I would wait until they actually get an operating licence and take delivery of the frame ? It looks like we are advanced enough now to at least create a new thread, I'll do that and indeed when the plane gets delivered we could open a new sub-board to move MSN6 in there

Call me sceptical that this airline concept will work. As much as people are excited about A380's flying again...I'm pretty sure everybody is skeptical until we see passengers actually fly in it. Remember, the CEO is a "Travel Influencer". How he manages to get 4 A380's while established airlines are slowly hanging their towel for this Aircraft type is something nobody will ever know. That said, it would be cool if it does work out. I can guarantee you though that millions of dollars (including passenger money if it comes to that) will be lost. Kinda reminds me of that Fyre Festival...

Unfortunately this feels like a case of five minute internet fame only. There is nothing wrong with new ideas and different approaches. But I hope it is not meant to extract money from clueless investors that are misled by some unqualified internet hype without any serious business concept behind it. Where is their know how to run an airline? They will need not just fancy "advisors" and "gurus" but the people that can get the real job done.
Four A380s to start a newbie business with is just not credible. They want somebody's money. It would be a good time to present more than selfies.
