Jump to postI think it sounds great. Don't know what the negativity is about. Good name.
The reason it's not been called Virgin Atlantic (although there are some discrepancies on the website) is to distinquish the product from long-haul.

Jump to postThe flights will work out fine. There is a lot of VFR traffic between LON and Moscow. That's on top of the business traffic and connecting pax (which is less than you think).

Jump to postThinking as usual they would be nothing like each other I looked them up - and it is shocking how similar they are (although not identical).
I'm surprised Allegiant aren't ready for court action, although they don't compete in the same markets it reminds me of the Gulf Air copy a few years back.

Jump to postIt could work, and actually with a fleet of 50-60 aircraft as you suggest, could be quite cost effective. However, they won't do it because it's not their model - which is lots of multiple frequency on a single type (albeit they have the 319 and 321 now) aircraft. An A330 is considerably more expens...
