Not really a start-yp, although in Europe it is: Amazon (operating as Prime Air) has officially started operations at its first European hub at Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany, with two B737-800s.

Emerald Airlines is seeking an Air Carrier Operating License from Irish aviation regulators, as it looks to win the bid for the Aer Lingus Regional contract, which ends in December 2022.

Correction: Ecuatoriana Airlines will begin operations as an LCC with two BE1900D, which will be used to re-open dormant or cancelled routes and new city pairs. The carrier is currently mulling four or five of the SAAB 2000, Q400 or ATR72-600 from mid-2021. Certification is pending. Later, for international operations, the airline will transition to jets.
