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 ?

A death wish, financially speaking that is.
