Question

Do you think if a full business class airline concept could be successful?

There are several airlines already such as www.flysilverjet.com

do you think such concept could be successful?

Answer 1

No, it's been tried already. Maxjet operated a full business airline from from London to Las Vegas. The airline went bankrupt in about 2 months.

Answer 2

No, because most people don't fly business class, so it would be hard to fill up the plane.

Answer 3

No.  The very rich will hire their own private jets and the moderately rich will fly business class in mixed class aircraft.  It keeps the cost down for the business customer and the profit's up for the airline.

Full business class has been tried before and has never been a huge success.

Answer 4

Nope...people in the aviation business seem to have this fantasy about an all first class airline.  It goes back to the 90s with Legend Airlines that was based at Dallas Love Field.  Time and time again, airline after airline, these operations fail, and they fail quickly.  Especially with today's economic situation in the United States, and the cost of fuel going through the roof, an all first class airline would be out of business before it even got in the air.  There is just too much cost cutting going on in all sectors of the business world today to sustain such a venture.

Answer 5

It could make money on heavy routes like NY to London.  They're not using large aircraft so if they're flying a few empty seats it's not such a big deal.  As airports become more congested and cancellations are mounting because of various reasons, and people are getting stranded, business travelers may justify the added expense of flying on an all business class airline because time is money.

Answer 6

If you adjust the prices possibly
