According to the DSML mailing list, Air Holland is to recommence operations next year. This will be a seperate company from HollandEXEL, the airline that took over the assets of Air Holland.
If this news is correct, I have not found a link to collaborate the story, than this will be the 3rd incarnation of Air Holland.
In not all that related news we find HollandEXEL. HollandEXEL put their names on the former Air Holland 767s. But the quality of their stickers is not that good, as the first letters have already fallen of! Just as a reminder, HollandEXEL has yet to celebrate 2 months of existance!

Who is behind the whole EXEL idea?

never even heard of the airline when did they previously operate?
They are new. They used to fly regional operations for KLM under the KLMexel brand (ATR + E145 + E120). Since recently they took over Air Holland’s assets and routes and renamed it HollandEXEL. Next to that they also got BelgiumEXEL, ArubaEXEL, AlsaceEXEL, BonairEXEL and probably one or two I forgot. The franchise operation of KLMexel will continue.

why is there no X yet on the fuselage? was the paintshop out of X’s
As I said the quality of their stickers is quite bad. It must have fallen of in flight. If you ever see a blue X laying on the ground, you can mail to to HollandEXEL (or sell it to the highest bidder at eBay :D).
