Fastjet 'targeting long-haul markets'
Originally published on www.businesstravellerme.com 02/10/2011 - Filed under: News »
Sir Stelios Haji-Iaonnou is working on plans to launch a transatlantic airline which would pit him against British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, according to the UK's Sunday Telegraph.
In an interview, the paper says it is unlikely to compete with easyJet, the low-cost airline in which Sir Stelios and his family hold a 37.4% stake, and instead plans to target long-haul markets.
It added that Fastjet is only one of a number of names the billionaire is considering registering and he may also register 'Stelios' as a brand.
