THE teenage whizz-kid behind Liverpool-based Nexus Airways is suffering teething problems three months after launching his business.
Daniel Reilly, dubbed “the next Richard Branson”, launched the airline in July from his Maghull bedroom amid a blaze of publicity.
But the 18-year-old admits that the poor financial climate and a slump in the industry has left him struggling to fill seats on the flights from Liverpool airport to the Canary Islands.
But today he issued a defiant message to passengers, saying: “Don’t lose faith. Everyone has teething problems.”
