Question

How do I start a regional low cost airline?

Answer 1

Buy Expressjet.

Answer 2

Not to be mean, but I find this question strange. I know this is the business section but I think this is probably the wrong place to be asking a question like that. Try the FAA website. I would assume someone with the resources to start an airline would know where to find such information.

Answer 3

Purchase airplanes, work out a deal with the airports you want to service, grow awareness in the communities you want to support, hire pilots and airline attendants, fulfill all required govt. safety requirements and regulations, hire engineer to inspect airplanes before and after flights, set prices based on costs and desired marginal gains, provide value to costumers. Easy as that.
