I'll take this announcement with a grain of salt, as should be the case in my opinion whenever a start-up existing on paper only suddenly orders a bunch of widebodies.

It is a startup yes, so of course the business plan can be expected to be a little more 'fluid'. But keep in mind that the person at the helm is a high level executive and pilot coming from a well-established carrier in the same geographic region. He would be well aware of the kind of numbers (eg. costs) that are needed to make it work. So I'd give him a better chance at succeeding than just any other startup. |

Using other prople's money to leverage one's own is a key to business success. He must be gathering investors ! |
