Why should this airline be added?
Founded in November 2012, this airline was yet another virtual operator utilising Van Air Europe’s Let 410’s, using one for a flight to Paris Pontoise–Cormeilles Aerodrome, a small airport located 16 miles Northeast of Paris (Closer than Beauvais that Ryanair uses), from Brighton City Airport also known as Shoreham-by-Sea Airport. The airline was thinking about expanding flights but folded in May 2013 sighting the French customs authorities taking too long to set up customs facilities at the aerodrome leading to hefty delays. Brighton City Airport is located within range of LHR and could conduct flights happily which could make for an unusual third operator into the airport, something that would be quite a fun thing to see.
