That fair will be available for several weeks. We’re actually starting out with introductory fares of $19 one-way. I should say that this is a low-fare airline. And so that is definitely an advantage for us. Levy: Well, yes, we have benefited from the fact that a number of airlines have cut back their service. ![]() I suppose you can find room at gates at some of these airports a little more easily? And what about getting planes? We’re focusing on secondary airports.īrancaccio: And we’re certainly in a pandemic still. And it’s a really small, nice, convenient airport instead of going through LAX, which is obviously a much larger airport. Our first base of operations will be in Burbank, California, right in the middle of Los Angeles, the second-largest market in the United States. Levy: That is what we intend to do, is to serve airport pairs that are currently unserved. We can very clearly see light at the end of the tunnel as people feel safer about getting out on airplanes and going out, traveling, reconnecting with people, and basically going back to something that is, hopefully, approaching what it used to be before the pandemic started.īrancaccio: Among the ways that you’ll try to distinguish yourself must be, what, direct flights on routes where there’s not a lot of other airlines doing that route? ![]() We’re coming out of a very difficult time. But really, given this cataclysm for the travel industry with pandemic, now’s the time to start a new airline?Īndrew Levy: We think this is the perfect time, actually, to start a new airline. David Brancaccio: Congratulations on the launch here. ![]()
