PEOPLExpress tries to fly again as new start-up
PEOPLExpress will be the name of a Virginia-based start-up carrier that hopes to begin flying passengers as early as this summer. If successful, that would resurrect the brand of one of the first U.S. low-cost carriers to emerge following deregulation. The original PEOPLExpress flew from 1981 through 1987, when it was acquired by Continental Airlines. (travel.usatoday.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Bring the Airline to Roanoke...lol
Well, as I said before, they have the idea and plan. Now they have to convince the money guru's
Can you spell G R O U N D E D ?
The Last thing we need is another airline. But--it's their Money

On a lark, I flew DCA-EWR-DCA on the original PEX, and actually enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately, they were a casualty of their own success by expanding too rapidly.
The PEOPLExpress website (http://www.flypex.com) indicates one of its officers was involved in the then-start-up Presidential Airways in the 80s, home-based at IAD. If I recall correctly, Presidential folded within a month; that is not to predict doom for the proposed PEX, just an observation. I do scratch my head contemplating the proposed Newport News/Jamestown base, though. The proposed livery is pleasantly appealing, IMHO.
I wish this venture success, but then, again, I did the same for Sky Bus . . . .

Something I heard years ago when I was still working in the airline business...
Wanna make a small fortune? Start an airline with a large fortune!

Like I said earlier, their money, if they get it. No financing or certification yet
