Looks like Air France gone blue.

Looks like AF livery :-)

Ha... Zee, you took the words right out of my mouth

[PhilDernerJr]

The site says they are running in conjunction with an existing commercial carrier....I wonder who. I don't think it's Air France, because even if it was, they wouldn't be to brazen since it would be illegal for a foreign owned airline to operate in the US, as we saw with all the crap Virgin America had to deal with.

I think they just used (probably stole) an AF photo to slap their own name on it.

Phil, you know..... I spotted that too at the bottom of the page.... I am curious about that little tid bit as well. The rumor of this is that they plan to use something in a 757/767 size catagory of airplanes..... That leaves a few options on the table though as to what carriers. Vision? Maybe.... They are extensive in Vegas.... Ryan? Maybe but I somehow doubt that because their hands are full with gov flying as of late, North American/World? I don't think they would do something like that for a few reasons..... Who would that leave? I somehow doubt any major or LCC would be getting onboard with this.... Not to mention, the breif service description lends to me thinking these airplanes would require extensive cabin mods.... I call BS on this.

[PhilDernerJr]

It's not North American.

[gonzalu]

And wouldn;t the "Luxury" thing mean new cabins? Otherwise they would have to use an existing luxury airline such as Emirates? LOL

Interesting then that they have a 777 on the front page with their scheme and througout the video.

Noticed in their video that the 777 taxiing looks to be a Singapore Airlines bird. That would explain the luxury airline. And I believe that if the flight orginates outside the country, stops in LV and continues to JFK then there isn't a problem with US regulations. Though they would not be able to sell seats on the LAS-JFK and JFK-LAS legs.

They will use the Sands L-1011 and 747-SP:cool:

[threeholerglory]

Carnival. Fo' sho.

Looks like the new 767-600EL =P

[NIKV69]

They will use the Sands L-1011 and 747-SP:cool:

LOL never. They make a hell of a lot more shuttling VIPs from Asia back to the US. Sheldon could make some money leasing out that 767 tho.

Will LV or Baltia start service first? :tongue:

Hahahaha! Aviation joke of the week! I was wondering the same.

[TSGSpotting]

I wonder how profitable a 777 on a domestic route will be in a luxury configuration. Just wondering:cool:

[gonzalu]

Tower Air 747 to Florida from JFK.. all coach... cheap... where are they now?

[PhilDernerJr]

Probably very. Keep in mind that people that would be chartering that aren't looking for the cheap option anyway, and the operator and pretty much charge whatever is necessary to turn a heavy profit.

The domain is registered to someone named Eneliko Smith. His top Google page is mostly lawsuits and business disputes. This thread will probably be the sum total of mental overhead paid to this venture.

Oh, and I'll take Baltia -130.

[Ari707]

reminds me of MGM- Grand Air with the DC-8's, they had private cabins

[djlpbb40]

According to a reputable source which prefers to remain anonymous, this is an offshoot of Vision Air

[Zee71]

May be the "Blue Man Group" will be flying this bird as well.

This looks like the same scam artist who tried Family Airlines which became Avatar Airlines. I think his name is Barry Michaels, the DOT denied their application on several grounds, one of which was due to the fact he is a convicted ex felon

Their website and that little video almost seem like this is some high school sophomore's Business 101 project.
