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]
More jobs for pilots! Best of luck to them.
If they get the money and want to try, it's theirs to do with, BUT, no financing yet or FAA certification yet, so we'll see.
They want to make flying fun again? With nothing but economy class seating? Economy class is generally not all that comfortable and getting through TSA removes much of the fun in flying. Just my dos centavos.
This carrier was before my time, but this may just work even though I wouldn't compare them to Allegiant since Allegiant hubs out of LAS which is a bigger city than Newport News. I think if they keep their operation simple and focused then they just might succeed. WN,NK,VX,and B6 have large route maps while this carrier more than likely wont have a network with the likes of those carriers.
Can you spell G R O U N D E D ?
The Last thing we need is another airline. But--it's their Money

A death wish, financially speaking that is.
Did you realize what these guys are saying to justify this airline existence: PEOPLExpress says that, after its launch, it hopes to add service to Boston, Orlando "and many cities abandoned by other carriers. Specific route structures will be shared at a later date". Yeah right, Boston and Orlando were abandoned by other carriers, see they receive only 300 flights a day each. Well abandoned............. God, this is a deathwish on the part of the investors (financially speaking that is). The U.S. needs another airline like a hole in the head.
