New Airlines: Flydubai to Launch by 2009


The new airline Flydubai just announced that it bought 50 737-800s, a deal worth almost $4 billion at list prices. The carrier, owned by the government of Dubai, plans to start service by summer of 2009, meaning those Boeings will have to come off the assembly line soon. Rumor has it Flydubai is jumping the production queue by snapping up aircraft deliveries that American airlines have deferred.
Where will those 50 new planes fly?
To Dubai from the whole Middle East region, North and East Africa, Southeast Europe and the Indian subcontinent.
Specific routes still haven't been announced. As for fares, Flydubai says ticket prices will be "extremely competitive."

Vueling



That this new Spanish low-cost airline has JetBlue as a minority investor should tell you something: They mean business. Like JetBlue's, this fleet is entirely Airbus A320s. It's building loyalty fast among Europeans who want to fly to Spain without Iberia's overpriced fares. Here's one secret that could save you a bundle: Though officially launched in 2004, Vueling recently opened a new hub at Paris Charles de Gaulle. Which means, there's no need to pay high Air France rates to fly from the City of Light to, say, Venice.

Transavia



French low-cast carrier Transavia began service in June 2007 with four Boeing 737-800s based in Paris Orly. It's an independent company that's part of the Air France-KLM group. Several cities in Morocco and Tunisia are served from the Orly hub as well as Palermo, Catania, Heraklion, Crete and Krakow. Other cities are served from Transavia's Amsterdam Schipol hub. This is a no-frills airline a la Easyjet: If you want something to eat or drink on board, you'll have to pay a little extra for it.

L'Avion


So you want to go to Paris, don't want to splurge on full-fare business class and can't bear the thought of another transatlantic haul in coach. Solution? The all-business class airline connecting New York and Paris called L'Avion. Some clever people in France decided to take a 757 plane—at present the only one in L'Avion's fleet—and put 90 comfortable seats where there were once 220. Meal service is business-class caliber and the airline's hubs are ideal: Orly for Paris and Newark for New York. A second 757 comes into service soon.
