I would disagree. The leasing company has to borrow the money to purchase the aircraft. They have to mark that up in the lease rates to make a profit.

Was hoping more would come out during the Paris Air Show. Guess we’re going to have to wait some more.

I would expect some updates soon. Dave Neeleman said a new name would be selected by “this summer” and I imagine more details would also be provided. No doubt they will likely keep a lot of details about initial routes, etc close to the vest for competitive reasons. However, I would expect a big branding effort before the end of the year to generate more consumer interest. Time will tell!

I wonder if this is related.

The Walt Disney Company is about to enter the domestic aviation travel industry! Starting in 2021, The Disney Company will acquire smaller regional airlines to focus it’s operations on offering flights out of Orlando to and from major airport hubs including Detroit, Chicago, LaGuardia, and LAX.

Disney has been cited in the past expanding their transportation offerings, with Disney’s Magical Express. The Magical Express is a transportation service that shuttles guests from Orlando’s Airport and to Disney Resort throughout the property. Now with Disney looking to operate in the air, they will control more of the guest experience.

We have “ears” inside on this development and have been given information that the entertainment offerings will include inflight Disney + access to each seat, Disney’s new streaming service. Disney songs will be being played over the airplane’s speakers as you board. There are also discussions that characters will also be making appearances before the cabin doors are closed to send you on your way. Buzz Lightyear, will have a heavy presence as your “captain speaking.”

The airlines will be “wrapped” with famous Marvel and princess themes to help celebrate your big trip. Disney is to stay competitive with rates that are just as affordable as South West Airlines and United. One perk that passengers can look forward to is if your staying at an onsite Disney resort within 48 hours of your flight, your first bag is checked free of charge for every passenger.

Onboard snacks are to include, Mickey Premium Ice Cream bars, warm churros, and Strawberry fruit bars, Coca Cola will be in exclusivity with the airline as well. As more of this develops look here for more insight on how you can become one of the first guests aboard!

Kind of goes against everything Moxy has stated as their mission statement.

Doubt it. Neeleman has clearly stated he has no interest in any hub-to-hub flying - and this proposed Disney venture would likely require that.

Hoping to hear some more MOXY details soon!!!!

This came out a few days ago. The article states less than 2 years until the aircraft begin operation. My shot in the dark is maybe a year out they will start taking applications.

That’s a good update! Would love to hear more details including the finalized name (I am betting BLUE will be part of it).
