763 is a rather large a/c for a Spanish flight. You'll be out of business in no time. :D

Mine would be....called Dan-Air (original) but i would use a mix of A320/321 on short to medium haul routes round europe,north africa,scandinavia,middle east and baltic/russian routes.
Generally it would be a lo-co carrier, but not in the poverty specification of ryanair (abliet they do make millions), there would customer service and allocated seating...
Just aslong as you keep your overheads down,then you can be called a lo-co carrier

I may contribute later, its something I've thought a lot about - however, it would definately be in the same segment of the market as Dan - low cost, but with frills available to purchase, as well as online check in (which, in the long run saves the airlines money, so I can't see why more of the lo-co airlines haven't picked it up..)

Why does everyone want to operate "No Frills" short haul from small airports? :confused:
If we are talking in a dream world, and money no object, which I presume we are, I'd operate a fleet of B744's with a minimum 36" seat pitch in Economy. And all the usual extras in Business and First.

I'm guessing the 'aim' of the excercise would be to still have your fictional airline in business after a couple of months :P

Mine would be a Airline which would offer Aircraft for short/long contracts to Airlines which need extra capacity or companies which would like an Aircraft for a flight.
I would call it Air Jupiter, and the fleet would consist of:
1 Airbus A320, 1 BAe 146 and 1 MD-83.
We would be based at Nottingham East Midlands Airport and operate sports contracts, private hire, and long term/short term contracts for Airlines which require extra capacity. Also, our Aircraft would be avaliable for Airlines if one of their fleet was to go tech.
The cabins would be in a Layout of Maximum Legal Seating Capacity inside.
A320 and 146 avaliable in 'Luxury Interiors' and MD-83 in maximum capacity outfit permemantly.
I think this concept has the capability of being a nice earner.

PurpleJet
I would base at Leeds Bradford, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Stansted all different parts of the country and would operate to Spanish destinations such as Palma, Alicante, Malaga using MD83's and for longer routes i would have more comfertable 757s equipt with TV's operating to Tenerife, Larnaca, New York and Orlando.
An airline with MD83's and 757s would be ideal and maybe also add a 767-200.

Mine would be Azure Air ( i like the colour blue),
We would have a fleet of 737-400's/800's and some A320's and fly to holiday destinations from Manchester, Gatwick, East Midlands andLeeds bradford. I've already had a livery designed for my airline:

On the website, www.cardatabse.net/modifiedairlinerphotos, click on the request photos forum on the right (you'll probably have to become a member, it's free and stuff) and submit a thread stating what livery you want and aircraft and someone might paint it for you.

How so?
There are MORE than enough No Frills airlines running these routes already.
Ergo... more competition.
And I dont see Richard Branson complaining about the way his airline is going.
Don't Virgin offer that little bit extra (in First) like Door to Door service.
Just one example of a Large "Private" Airline that's doing fine.
And...
Aren't "United" the largest Private Airline in the World?
Or maybe that's 2 examples.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you said about economy seats - I'd say that the no frills market can still increase, particularily regarding UK domestic flights - saturation point hasn't been reached yet.
I'd also prefer to run a 'virgin' style airline, offering incredible service to passengers, but on the LON-NYC route, its (at the moment) a very saturated market - time will tell if MaxJet manages to keep themselves in business.
The problem on 744's is establishing youself and gaining a good revenue stream within a short period of time, to be able to afford the aircraft.
The one area that seems to need a player is cheaper first/business class fares - as discussed before, first class is extremely expensive - it wouldn't cost too much to bring the cost of first seats down - whilst still being profitable...

Bored on a Saturday afternoon and was wondering; If you were to have an airline, what would it be called, where would it be based, where would it fly to and with which aircraft type?!
Mine would be:
FlyAirways based at London Gatwick terminal N using an A321, B737-700 and B767-300er flying to Manchester, Dublin, Cork, Amsterdam, Paris CDG, Milan Linate, Dubai/Bahrain, Madrid, Barcelona, New York JFK, Miami and Rio De Janeiro/Tenerife Sur.
