Bus/Financial - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / airlines | | German term or phrase: Bedarfsfluglinie | Um A wieder mit B auf dem Luftweg zu verbinden, startet die Bedarfsfluglinie R mit einem neuen Modell durch.
„Wir starten mit einem vollkommen neuen Produkt“ erklärt der Geschäftsführer. „Wobei diese Verbindung für uns keine Wachstumsgrenze hat. Was der Markt fordert, fliegen wir! Wir denken ganz klar an einen Ausbau der Flugbewegungen als auch der eingesetzten Fluggeräte. Allerdings: der Ausbau kann nur nach der Nachfrage erfolgen – wenn die Nachfrage anzieht bzw. Firmenkunden feste Kontingente annehmen.“
Ich dache an "on-demand airline" oder an "airline-on-demand", aber das klingt fast so, als ob jederzeit ein Flugzeug bereit stünde, oder? Und das ist es ja nicht wirklich. |

Based in the tax haven of Jersey, Laker Airways has been formed as the vehicle to express Laker's ideas of cheap and easy air travel. It is a contract-hire and ad hoc airline, operating two Bristol Britannias from Gatwick to deal mainly with inclusive tour holidays. Setting his sights on greater things, Laker after his experience with BUA has no doubt that he needs to acquire three of the new BAC One-Eleven Series 300 airliners as the nucleus of a modern fleet of state-of-the-art, short-haul jet-transports.
