New airline offers business class only
The former head of British Airways brand management is planning to launch business class only flights from Luton to New York.
Hamish Taylor, the man behind the BA flat beds, needs to raise £25 million by June 10 to get Fly First off the ground, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Taylor is planning to lease two Boeing 757-200s with seating for 48 business travellers and create four cabins of 12 flat seat seats complete with changing rooms, fax machines, telephones and possibly Internet access.
Passengers will pay £3,360 for a return flight that will depart at 6.45am and arrive at Newark airport at 9am. Taylor, the former chief executive of Eurostar, said he will need only 16 passengers per flight to break even, the newspaper reports.
