Nexus Airways

To All,

There will be a new airline called Nexus Airways flying from Liverpool in the near future but does anybody know any more information about them?

Thanks

Interesting that their website is still linking to TravelExtras for car hire, car parks, etc. This independant company went bust a few weeks ago.

I wonder who they are booking pax on. Monarch maybe?

If I never got to the Canaries I don’t think I would touch Nexus!

From the website: “Nexus Airways serve the Canary Islands of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote

Our flights will operate at peak-periods, such as Christmas & New Year!

Nexus Airways originally planned to operate daily services out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport to the Islands, however we have had severe problems as our licensing partner ceased trading, which despite our best efforts, unfortunately we have been able to recover from. Therefore we hope to just take an allocation of seats on existing flights during the peak periods, until a time when we can establish new partners and seat sales justify whole aircraft operations ex Liverpool. You can check our availability and pricing for Christmas & New Year 2005 online, and If you want to book any of the flights listed then contact us! “

Sandy,

They could be planning to Wet Lease in B737 for first year until they get a pile of dosh built up then Dry Lease A320s with their own Pilots being recruited.

I think the Lease Market has lots of B737s on offer when compared to A320s atm.

It wont make that much of a differance for them but im still under opinion that its not going to happen [the airline]!

Andrew… you obviously know very little about running an airline.
There is more to changing aircraft types than just the pilots.

I don’t know it all or even a lot… but I know that their plans are not the soundest, in financial terms.

the thing I don’t see working is that they plan to start up with a 737, then in a year switch to Airbus A320’s.
Ok, others have switched from B to A like this.. but only once well established. New starts and 1 year old airlines cannot simply switch their fleet.

Either start with A320s or make do with 737s (not that there’s is anything wrong with either aircraft!)

Thats what makes me think this airline is run by fans…. airbus fans it would seem.

Were these the ones running a poll asking people where they should fly to?

Any idea what aircraft they will have?
DME

According to AW, they will operate B737’s at first and then will gradually replace them with A320’s.

I had some dealings with them about a livery.
they eventually stopped returning my e-mails.

Seem like they’re run by a bunch of fans than businessmen. I can’t say why just now.
