As an airline pilot in the United States, I am really pulling for Breeze Airways. We need something new, and I have spoken to many passengers about their desire for hub busting flights specifically so they can avoid long layovers and tight connections in O'Hare and Atlanta.
If I were an AT pilot in the US, I would seek to add an additional trade to my CV to earn a living. In my view, the future of airlines in general is very much in question, and I expect more than a few carriers to fade into history, - Former MD-11 PIC, Airline EVP - Fleet Management

I was part of a startup airline in Asia about a decade ago. It was an arduous task and from the initial filing to having a certificate a year and a half later. Lots of champagne was poured after each hurdle was complete. Airline operations became easy once the planes started flying. It was a great experience, but something I would never want to do again.
@@sirtoast4502 meanwhile in a utopian reality: RUclips adresses all its problems and balances the needs and interests of Advertisers, Law makers, Big industries, RUclipsrs and the viewers fairly, this way creators will not be interested in moving to a different platform.
Having worked with a start up group for a proposed airline, it is remarkably difficult. It takes SO much money, and SO many regulatory requirements. I could write a 2000 page report about it, but it’s terribly hard.
Airlines do not have to prove their competitive pricing practices are financially sustainable like other industries do. For example, if Chevrolet began charging $5 for the Silverado, Ford and Ram could take them to court for price fixing to eliminate completion - that is anti competitive and illegal. If Frontier charges $1 for a flight from Denver to Orlando, that is completely legal, even though they’d lose about $10K every time the flight occurred.
As someone who created a 121 certificate, this was a video I've been waiting to see on this channel for quite some time. A more in depth video on the FAA certification process would be cool to see as well, and equally as informative
One interesting and entirely unmentioned factor that likely will substantially affect the probability of startup airlines success is how they can address the massive pilot shortage in both the United States and abroad. It will be a challenge for new companies with less desirable compensation and work rules to attract and maintain pilots. You definitely did a great job exploring some of the other factors!
"Why would customers want to switch to them?" Every time passengers of an incumbent airline are humiliated, kicked off for no reason or have their teeth knocked out there is an uproar with people saying, they will never give that airline business ever again, but they eventually do come back, because there is no feasable alternative. A new airline changes that
Honestly I'd fly it. Nearly missed my last flight because airport security was intent on giving me a 10 minute lecture on why my shampoo was over the ounce limit when the only reason I had to take the bag through security was because they had all the first class check in kiosks closed. Then I got another lecture on how my mask wasn't good enough because it had a filtered exhaust valve but somehow the guys wearing microfiber tube bandanas were fine.
Not gonna lie, this blunder caused me to stop watching the video. Qantas is literally one of the oldest airlines on the planet and is the largest airline in Oceania. Hard to take this video seriously when the author couldn't even take the time to know that.
I wish I had this video when I was a senior in business school. Our capstone project was running an airline, and well thankfully our professor said failing at running a company can teach you more than successfully running one can....
Hey, I'm not sure if it's in your best interest, but I would love to see a "Making of a Wendover video" where you show how you get the idea, make the research and put it in the most presentable way. Regardless, thank you for making such informative videos!!
Finally, the magnum opus of Wendover Production. After years of talking about planes and airlines, he finally teaches us how to actually be an airline and operate planes.
There's actually a new airline starting in New Zealand this year, Pasifika Air. It doesn't have any planes yet, but someone well known here is starting it.
The rise of JetBlue is quite interesting. They are considered budget but their flights basically has all the characteristics of a mainline airline, like American. No carry on fees, first class in the cabin, in flight entertainment, free snacks and drinks and recently, trans Atlantic flights. The only reason they are considered budget is because they have low cost seats but by most definitions, they really aren’t a budget airline and fit the criteria to be a mainline
Imagine a safety video with HAI style humor. "If you must evacuate the aircraft, hopefully not at Newark Airport, emergency floor lighting will guide you to the nearest exit. Your nearest exit may be behind you, unlike that embarrassing thing you did when you were 14"
Ansett was not the only full service network carrier in Australia. Qantas was it’s larger competitor. And Virgin Australia started as a low cost carrier Virgin Blue and did not become a full service network carrier until 2011... just a bit of history for you :)
It's fascinating coming back to this video nearly 3 years after release. Good to know there's plenty of paperwork involved. There ought to be, for something like this.
I would have thought that securing routes would be high on this list as well. You can imagine there's a lot of untapped market for Heathrow to Lagos, but even if you got all four of the things on this list, you'd still be out of luck because Heathrow doesn't have any slot-pairs.

4:20 Ansett was NOT the only full service carrier in Australia at the time of collapse. Australian Airlines (later merged into Qantas) was its direct full service competitor. Australia had a government mandated duopoly from the 1950s to the 1980s.

You need to do a video on aviation in India due to its weird nature. I'm sure you could talk about the risk in Indian markets (collapse of Jet Airways, Kingfisher, and Air India?), and also how new airlines like Vistara and Indigo rose to prominence.
Ansett was not the only full service carrier in Australia when they collapsed, they had strong competition from Qantas who just five years earlier had merged with TAA. You also didn’t mention that Virgin Australia started as a low cost airline and it would be almost 10 years before they went ‘full service’ which many would argue is where they went wrong, as they were now marketing them selves to have the same quality of service as Qantas, which they were never going to properly achieve with their infrastructure.
Wow I didn't realise how big southwest had actually become. I can't really imagine the new airline displacing them. They have a pretty solid reputation now as a reliable, low cost airline
Your information is usually well researched and consequently quite accurate. There is an error with regard to the Ansett/Virgin discussion. Ansett was NOT the only full service carrier at the time of its collapse. Qantas was also operating at the time and has always been a full service carrier. Virgin started off as a low cost carrier and sadly that is what they've gone back to being. As always great video :)
Maybe this is Sam's way of rising the capital needed to start his own airline (it's only a matter of time), by showing potential investors that he knows what he's doing
Ansett was not the only full service carrier in Australia when it collapsed. Qantas was always the full service competitior to Ansett on domestic and internaltion routes. It also pre-dated Ansett.
I flew on an Ansett plane before they went. It was pre 9/11 - They let me go in the cockpit, and the Pilot gave me a colouring-in book. It was pretty cool, looking out of the front of a plane. I'm sad that experience is gone for the kids today.

Ansett was NOT the only full service carrier at the time of its collapse. Qantas was also operating at the time and has always been a full service carrier. Virgin started off as a low cost carrier and sadly that is what they've gone back to being. As always great video :)
Step 1: Wait for COVID to be over
Step 2: Avoid the 737 Max
Step 3: The above video
737 Max was recertified recently, and airlines are still ordering more (Alaska Airlines just increased their order from 32 to 105).
@@MirzaAhmed89 Yes but I was joking.
Him:Ansett Australia was the “only” Australian full service airline in Australia
Qantas:am I a joke to u
he said other than qantas
1:16 I've seen that exact conveyor belt before
Maybe this is Sam's way of rising the capital needed to start his own airline (it's only a matter of time), by showing potential investors that he knows what he's doing
I read the title as “How to Start an Anime,” clicked anyways.
If this said how to start an anime I wouldn't click on it I hate anime
@@ccm2059 Ah, a defender of the faith I see
Next video plz!!!
@@ccm2059 I don’t hate it but I don’t watch it. I just clicked for the airline content lol, I think it’s interesting
Airline industry: in turmoil
747s and A380s: *I'm in danger*
Ansett was not the only full service carrier in Australia when it collapsed. Qantas was always the full service competitior to Ansett on domestic and internaltion routes. It also pre-dated Ansett.

This is the intense airline content I've come to know and expect.

I see what you did there
Yeah lol
This really should have been titled "How to lose a billion dollars"
On A220-300’s?
I flew on an Ansett plane before they went. It was pre 9/11 - They let me go in the cockpit, and the Pilot gave me a colouring-in book.
It was pretty cool, looking out of the front of a plane. I'm sad that experience is gone for the kids today.
A new 18 min Wendover video about planes - that's all a simple man can ask for.
