Yet another new airline!

Saab – No, I don’t think they will get loads between Tampa and Europe.
There are a few business only flights around at the moment, but there on the business routes, Lufthansa and its DUS-EWR flight springs to mind, done well but with a 737, Crystal will be flying 767’s from Tampa!
Andrew – Fees etc will be cheaper at TPA and if your a low cost then this is very important, but this is a business class only airline and I think an increase in demand of business travel is far more important.
I just can’t see the demand at TPA for this kind of service.

I wonder if we’ll see a rash of “luxury” travel airlines sprouting up to cater for the rich and famous who’ve become used to the high life on Concorde ?

If they were willing to pay thousands to travel faster, they might be willing to pay to travel in a kind of super 1st class ?

Just a thought.

IMO no, there is no current viabrent market for that type of travel.

Dan330, that is an excellent point. Do you actually think a business airline will get the loads from Tampa to Europe on a 767?

Tampa perhaps is lower costs with JFK etc routes and Tampa as base as isnt Tampa cheaper than JFK for a main office?

Looks interesting and I’d love to see the colour scheme on an aircraft.

Still looks a bit fishy, all the different aircraft types and the other thing, based at Tampa Florida? Isn’t that a funny place for an airline like this, with the business travellers and that?
I could see a lot of demand at New York or LA, but Tampa seems a strange place for such a luxurious airline!

Hmmmmmmmm… I guess I’ll believe it when I see it. 😉

If i was a businnes men, this would be my first chioce airline

Fleet type of 4 aircraft for a start up operation :rolleyes: Sure they may have an application with DOT but that is still pending.

Though afer doing a search about it on Google it seems to be rather Kosher??? Take a look at the info on the link and decide for yourself…

It must be a real airline, their website has made it onto the Skytrax website, now if it weren’t real a company like Skytrax, the company that does all the airline awards etc, they wouldn’t stick it up on their site surely.

After reading a piece of info on the net about Crystal Airways, apparently it has been around for the last few years trying to get of the ground, but it has not been given approval!

Damn! This seems to be happening alot as of late. Shame too… what a great livery that is! 🙁

It is a hoax. Paper airline…

Thats a pretty good concept, but right now it will have tough times.

Hope to see a London flight as well

Yeah me too. They are to use a mixed fleet of Boeing aircraft… the next Gen 737, 757-200 and the 767-300. And on regional routes, the CRJ200.

Looks to be a promising airline. All the best to them. 🙂

The wish to start intercontinental routes once they are up and running, I hope the will Operate flights into London. 😀

Thats the type of airline I would like to see more of
