Take Air, new ANR operation

[saratoga]

Still i don't understand.

Are they doing now scheduled flights at fixed times or are they just another charter company where a member can reserve an aircraft??

Sheduled flights at fixed times, but you can only get a seat when you have a membership and another difference is that they operate from general aviation terminals to make sure passengers can arrive really last minute.

In the US they already have an airline like this, in Europe it's a new business model. It's not one of many VIP charter companies.

The start of the operations (between Antwerp and Zurich) of Take Air has been postponed for "several weeks", according to the airline.

I just hope that those who bravely enlisted will see their money back.

But no official announcement on their site or social media channels? How rude.

Good to see my fears did not come true.

I thought i was never going to happen.
But on the airport website they are not announced in the departure and landing times. Although they are doing now scheduled flights so they should be considered as a fully-fledged 'airline', doing regular flights.

Anyway, good luck guys, hope you will be very succesful!!

The flights arrive and depart from the general aviation terminals, which means they're not visible on the airport website (which usually doesn't list general aviation).

Hello

Today (tuesday) there was no Take Air flight.....

Greetings,

Well I guess that yesterday, for the first flight, there were some journos in addition to the few passengers, which should have made the flights profitable.

That shouldn't make a difference, if they were on board, they would have been non-paying pax for sure. The only way for Take Air to cover the costs are the membership fees and I assume if no reservations by their members = no flight.
