Welcome to a Brand New Series on the channel! This episode took around 7 hours to complete so I hope you enjoy it :) If you have any episode suggestions feel free to also drop them below this comment :)
My own opinion -Partner with some large businesses a.k.a investors (like promise them to advertise their products onboard the plane) -Start on a hub that is industrialized, worthy airport and clean -Start buying regional jets first -Make a domestic route first before expanding to the international market -Comfort of the passengers should be the priority alongside with safety -Nice and excellent food -Hire or train the experienced flight attendants, pilot, ground crews, check-in staffs etc. (MAKE THEM HUMBLE TO THE PASSENGERS) -Start to plan or buy some 320's or a 737's -If possible do not lease some of the aircrafts, buy your OWN -Maintenance should be well -Make some codeshare agreements and partners -On-time schedule flights -Clean cabins are always observed -Start advertising your airline -Watch it bloom, and make sure that your aircraft are always up to date and not junk -If you have large profits you can install some IFE's, you can install it on first to business class then economy, if you are budgeting. I FORGOT: -Partner with some local and international hotels, ship companies, bus companies and etc. (local and international), this is to make passengers more easy to transfer to their desired destination after they ride a plane (promise them to advertise them so you can have a discount ;) ) -Lounge should be planned (and good as well)
Sounds good but I think the most important aspect of aviation these days is the price of a ticket.. That’s why Ryanair & Southwest etc are so big. I expect that you cannot compete with those guys.
Investors are particularly loathed to investing in commercial airlines. Why? High initial cost of acquiring aircraft, gates, routes, facilities, and people. Just starting out an effective maintenance department is amazingly complex given the cost of a single piece of avionics can easily top $ 250,000. There are plenty of black boxes that must be kept in stock plus countless LRU (Line Replaceable Units), Tires, Wheels, Brakes, and let's not forget spare engines! A single jet engine can run from $3 million to $ 6 million or more. Banks become frightened when wealthy customers want to start their own airline. Want proof, ask Sir Richard Branson.
As an airline industry veteran, I actually helped start a new airline in Asia beginning in 1995. My primary job as EVP was to acquire aircraft, supervise airframe production, arrange delivery, train crews, and help organize the overall company. After five years and spending over a quarter of a billion dollars, the once wealthy Asian chairman finally called it quits! I was recommended to the chairman who was a novice in the aviation industry by top officials at Douglas Aircraft, now Boeing. Following 2 airline bankruptcies, I am convinced that the airline industry is a great business but you have to have exceptional routes, fantastic, talented people, whom you can trust, and one big potful of money to make your dream alive, survive and most importantly thrive. With the Asian line, the chairman wanted to grow the company too fast, and that was his ultimate downfall. Sadly, he is now an "unbillionaire". Judging from airline industry history, very few privately-owned legacy carriers have survived in the long term. These include American Airlines, Delta, and United. Nationally-owned airlines survive much better as they can always count on state subsidies.
Can tell you worked really hard to make this. I enjoy the hypothetical part of “starting your own airline” and I’m excited to see where you take this series. Very creative and very interesting. I’m sure as we get into the series with topics such as destination and fleet selection, it’ll make for interesting debates in your comments. Great work!
I have that app called Airline Manager 2, and I find it pretty fun and cool as it is a pretty realistic airline managing game. My fleet now consists of 75 planes with the A350, A380, 787, 777 etc. I think the best move I made was just purchasing A LOT of 737's and A321's when I started out. You will earn a lot of money fast
I’m a big car guy. I’d better be honest. I know more about cars than planes. This channel is so awesome. I find my self looking more into planes than ever before. Something a little different me at least. Thanks for the great content as usual. I wish the best of luck for you and for your channel to grow. Thanks and have a great day.
you what man, u're doing reeeaally good job because ive ben looking for this kind of videos on youtube (how to start an airline). thank you for doing this an u deserve more than a thumb up.. greeting from cairo,egypt
Hi DJ! I always wanted to own my own airline and why. I originally wanted to become a pilot, but I had an eye condition so I wasn't able to. I want to thank you for this brand new series
Magnificent episode and idea mate! I am studying Aviation Management at the moment at University, and your facts were spot on. Airline Management is a focus on where I want to go in the future, so I am pumped for the rest of the series!
It might be fun to let your subs vote on the different aspects of the airline business as you reveal them... What region to open shop, what routes to secure, what planes to lease/purchase, the livery, etc.
Certainly a good choice but I am not specifically making an airline as we go rather analysing every single aspect needed :) Of course, you could certainly turn the series into a game and pick a region you want to start the airline in based off this episode and then pick various aircraft to begin your operations when I get to that point :)
Thank you sooooo much, I have always wanted for someone to do a video or sieries on this topic I am very exited about this video and all the videos to come
A very creative new series you've got here! Looking forward to more episodes. Also, I know I don't comment much, but I always enjoy watching each of your videos. Keep at it!
Hi, will this be a series that continues, it's something I have always been fascinated by, loved the first episode and have been looking every day for a new episode. Love all your work. 1
Thank you for that advice I learned a lot about this video and channel. You may keep up the good work and God bless. And now I know how to start my very own airline
I have created my own airline that would be one of the largest in America and certainly the largest in NA. It has an extensive list of destinations, several Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, and Bombardier planes, a well thought out seat design(there are 6 total classes, but obviously they aren’t all featured on each aircraft) and several hubs and focus cities in America as well as three international hubs. The airline also owns part of Virgin Atlantic, completely owns Condor, and owns part of FlyDubai, which is why it has hubs at Munich, Dubai, and Gatwick. Those hubs allow it to go to even more destinations throughout the world. It’s main hubs in America are Denver, Orlando, Richmond, and LAX. It also has smaller hubs and focus cities.
Yes, I like this series! My airline ideas: European budget carrier, Abycuss Air Europe, fleet: A321neos (ACF), A321LRs, and A320neos. Awesome video mate, liked! :)
Excellent video!!! Great research and excellent at explaining everything is an easy to understand manner. And great job on narration. Please keep the series going. Good job. Subbed!! 👍
I think Darwin would be a great base to start international routes. Take some demand of other major ports and you could potentially use smaller aircraft to destinations such as Asia.
I'd love to start a small airline that offers sightseeing tours and maybe short haul flights using only vintage planes. DC-3s, DC-4s, that sort of thing, somewhere in northern Europe. The callsign would be Steamtrain - at least one thing figured out already, yay!
Awsome new series. My Airline would operate with A321LR and would operate from DUS to replace the Air Berlin North american routes. I would equip the aircraft with 16 business seats like OmanA330, and JAL787 with a full service, then about 160 eco seats. The eco would be a lowcost long haul, whit IFE and free wifi, but that would be it all other services cost extra. I would try to get in someking of codeshare and partnership with Jet blue, they also operate A320 and would be a good partner in america.
Southwest Airlines in the US has an ideal formula that works. They fly high-density routes with great city pairs, a common aircraft type, fast turnaround, high frequencies, combined with a great internet reservation system that is the heart of the enterprise. easyJet in Europe follows the same formula and they are a great company offering reasonable fairs with high-quality aircraft, crews, and maintenance. The key to both successes was the early adoption of the Internet for their reservations systems. Bravo to Herb Kelleher and Stylios! Best long-haul private carriers include Virgin Atlantic pioneered by Sir Richard Branson. He had his formula right from the start!
One important market you missed was India. There is a huge potential in the market and it is set to grow with the govt announcing the UDAN Scheme - Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik (The Common Man of the Country Flies). It aims to start operations in hundreds of unserved and underserved airports of the country. The 1 hour flight will have some seats as low as Rs. 2500 (USD 38)
What I would start is a long hual low cost carrier with a point to point model. It would serve smaller cities with smaller planes that meet them demmands. The planes I would use would be the 787 to do the efficiently and small size and the 321neoLR for even smaller cities and still have the range for transtlantic.
In general, an initial 787 fleet would require at least 3 aircraft to serve a single city pair at the beginning, making such a debut enormously risky and costly. The best method is to acquire good, refurbished aircraft or preferably using a "wet lease" to learn the business a bit at a time. Follow the Branson Formula. Sir Richard using his own money, did it right the first time.
Classic quote from EasyJet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou. How did I make a small fortune out of the airline industry? Easy! I started off with a large fortune.
Nice video! I am looking forwards to the rest of this series! I also have a question that is a bit different than what you usually cover. Asyou may know, in the not too distant future spaceX's BFR rocket will be released. Other then mars missons, the BFR is said to get from anywhere inthe world to anywhere else in the world in under 1 hour. So how do you think airlines will compete with this? Will airlines be using rockets soon?
This was a great video, really expanding your brand from reporter to idea maker...thank you DJ! I think there was a small error early in the video, when you talk about single aisle aircraft and the success of the A320/321neo with a warning to Boeing. You say that Boeing could miss the boat if they do not approve their "787" program. I think you meant to say 797 program. Moreso, most reports about the 797 are that it will be a two aisle aircraft rather than single aisle. Obviously, no one knows for certain, but it seems the 797, as a MM plane, will need 2 aisles to deplane the expected 220-260 seat capacity. Beyond that, I really love the information given and the dreaming it will make happen. :) I have an idea for a long haul airline connecting the Southern hemisphere...Oceania, South America and Africa. with feeders to US, China and Western Europe. From what I understand, Africa will experience a boom in development in the second half of the 21st century to rival Asia, and as global resources diminish, South America will become more of an economic powerhouse as well, so I guess I am looking a bit past the data dates you offered, but I am a long term thinker. :) But to start a more realistic airline, I would create a new regional airline in Hawaii using the new breed of regional jets from Bombardier or Embraer. There is only one airline doing inter-island service (Hawaiian) and their 717's are dated, becoming less economical to use, their route structure is not flexible (still hub and spoke, which is ridiculous) and over 40% of travelers on our inter-island service are local, and that percentage is bound to increase. Furthermore, there will be a huge uptick in direct flights from US mainland to the outer islands, lowering the need of inter-island hub service and international flights are climbing, but Hawaiian's inter-island terminal is quite inconvenient for international flights. While Hawaiian does affiliate with a large number of airlines, it is not part of a major affiliation such as One World, so there is a huge opportunity to build a relationship with a major international affiliation. To build quick local loyalty, I would resurrect the name "Aloha Airlines," which though underfunded, was a beloved regional airline in the recent past.
Sorry, the 717 is the ideal aircraft for Hawaii. I should know as I helped deliver the first aircraft of its type to Europe years ago. It truly is a Douglas airplane and is among the best they ever built.
It is a great plane, but every plane has a lifetime. And now the new planes offer a better cabin environment. Besides, this was about a new airline and there are no new 717's to buy.
Can you please make a video on Indian conditions for aviation industry covering every sector.....plz and nice video got a lot of information which I never got inspite of viewing a tons of videos
Very inspiring videos. Thanks DJ. My vision is to help the low SES markets to experience very affordable airlines. If possible cheapest then current LCC airlines. Therefore, I have a question, is it possible to operates the old aircraft for example like DC-3 or similar? Are there many available parts for that kind of plane? My target of passengers are people who only rely on trains. They could not afford even for the LCC ticket price.
Would love to have an airline company based in Indonesia since I'm from there. Not many carriers based in Indonesia serves long-haul intl flight so the flight can be too long sometime with too many layover. Maybe one day I could found an airline company, this sounds like a pipe dream but eh anything to cheer me up lol
you may also want to try to play airlines manager... so far i like the game and is based real time as well as the closest you can be to reality... try it...
Welcome to a Brand New Series on the channel! This episode took around 7 hours to complete so I hope you enjoy it :) If you have any episode suggestions feel free to also drop them below this comment :)
When's the next episode of what if series coming out?
Dj's Aviation can do a Past Present and future of Aer Lingus
Hi DJ.
I think this is a brilliant idea. I can well imagine the research that you have to put into it; well done.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Starting an own airline. Be sure to go bankrupt.
Heathrow Aviation yes
*50 years later*
Interviewer: How did you learn how to manage an airline?
Me: Dj's Aviation
PlanesRkool lol if only
Right 😂😂h
Bought a book on amazon and the rest of the information came from youtube.... Har!
Same lol
@@dashmeet_ did you believe that?
My own opinion
-Partner with some large businesses a.k.a investors (like promise them to advertise their products onboard the plane)
-Start on a hub that is industrialized, worthy airport and clean
-Start buying regional jets first
-Make a domestic route first before expanding to the international market
-Comfort of the passengers should be the priority alongside with safety
-Nice and excellent food
-Hire or train the experienced flight attendants, pilot, ground crews, check-in staffs etc. (MAKE THEM HUMBLE TO THE PASSENGERS)
-Start to plan or buy some 320's or a 737's
-If possible do not lease some of the aircrafts, buy your OWN
-Maintenance should be well
-Make some codeshare agreements and partners
-On-time schedule flights
-Clean cabins are always observed
-Start advertising your airline
-Watch it bloom, and make sure that your aircraft are always up to date and not junk
-If you have large profits you can install some IFE's, you can install it on first to business class then economy, if you are budgeting.
I FORGOT:
-Partner with some local and international hotels, ship companies, bus companies and etc. (local and international), this is to make passengers more easy to transfer to their desired destination after they ride a plane (promise them to advertise them so you can have a discount ;) )

Ryan air does exactly opposite of this and gets ton of profit

How do you get a millionaire? Take a billionaire and start an airline.

Thats all i can say

A suggestion to a video is a series of you playing AirlineSim! Defently something you would enjoy play if didn’t already!
Absolutely amazing! Looking forwards to the next ones!!
Woah! This is a really cool idea! I can’t wait for the next one
Awesome new series, can't wait for the next episode.
Thank you sooooo much, I have always wanted for someone to do a video or sieries on this topic I am very exited about this video and all the videos to come

Super
Thanks for your efforts 🥂
Great video and eagerly waiting for the next one !
Hi, will this be a series that continues, it's something I have always been fascinated by, loved the first episode and have been looking every day for a new episode. Love all your work. 1
So you said starting an airline where there's falling demand for passengers so why not take North Korea 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Take all the seats out, just pile them all in seeing as they all wanna get out of North Korea
@IFly Aviation
Well, if you have the capital, why not buy yourself a jet and fly it anywhere you wish! 😂
This is all before Covid happened
I would've liked this but it's at 69 likes already, and I couldn't destroy that
Thank you for that advice I learned a lot about this video and channel. You may keep up the good work and God bless. And now I know how to start my very own airline
Fantastic new series! Very creative!
Hope that the new episodes don't take that long to record compared to this one ;)
Thanks mate :D Fingers crossed!
Wish to see more of this. It would certainly help me with Airline and Aviation management career if not with starting an airline.
I have created my own airline that would be one of the largest in America and certainly the largest in NA. It has an extensive list of destinations, several Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, and Bombardier planes, a well thought out seat design(there are 6 total classes, but obviously they aren’t all featured on each aircraft) and several hubs and focus cities in America as well as three international hubs.

This has been extremely useful! I will surely watch the second episode! Many thanks.
great work mate. you've done an awesome job.!
Looking forward to the new series, DJ. Thanks for the video!
I love this series this is like my dream you are literally reading my mind
I’ve always wanted a video like this!
Yes, I like this series! My airline ideas: European budget carrier, Abycuss Air Europe, fleet: A321neos (ACF), A321LRs, and A320neos. Awesome video mate, liked! :)
Excellent video!!! Great research and excellent at explaining everything is an easy to understand manner. And great job on narration. Please keep the series going. Good job. Subbed!! 👍
Will you continue this series? Really like it
At the beginning to the video, the landing of the Emirates A380 is so beautiful....
Started up a small regional airliner here. Now i got like 4 planes, 2 passenger 2 cargo. I also have two females working for me❤️
Holyshit ur at 41k now!!!
damn he grew 27k in one month then
The Malay-American Guy hrs at 71k now
Now hes at 301k
Do a part two!!!!! Love dis amazing video
Great video you must do much more of these

Wow. Amazing! I love your airline. 😊
Can you help me to also start my airline?
Good job dude loved it keep it up
And the Asia Pacific aviation growth is going through the roof
Awesome content mate keep it up
I appreciate your hard work and effort 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽
One important market you missed was India. There is a huge potential in the market and it is set to grow with the govt announcing the UDAN Scheme - Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik (The Common Man of the Country Flies). It aims to start operations in hundreds of unserved and underserved airports of the country. The 1 hour flight will have some seats as low as Rs. 2500 (USD 38)
What I would start is a long hual low cost carrier with a point to point model. It would serve smaller cities with smaller planes that meet them demmands.

The best method is to acquire good, refurbished aircraft or preferably using a "wet lease" to learn the business a bit at a time. Follow the Branson Formula. Sir Richard using his own money, did it right the first time.
If there was a good Airline sim, we may get banned for being too good.
Supreme Leader There's airline empires that's pretty good and realistic
Aviation&Coasters 19 Thanks, I had a look and it is great.
Aren't you supposed to be running north jore right now
Airline Manager Tycoon is the best in the app store

Supreme Leader
We are an airline tycoon management game!
Thank you I’m considering starting a airline
Can wait to start my airline now!
Classic quote from EasyJet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou. How did I make a small fortune out of the airline industry? Easy! I started off with a large fortune.
Please do make a video about how to get an airline license and procedures of starting an airline.
Second great videos @dj aviation
Nice video DJ! You did a great job.
please make a third!!!!!!!!
when im older, i wanna own an airline
but, i will 1st start with the smaller jets
Nice video! I am looking forwards to the rest of this series! I also have a question that is a bit different than what you usually cover. Asyou may know, in the not too distant future spaceX's BFR rocket will be released. Other then mars missons, the BFR is said to get from anywhere inthe world to anywhere else in the world in under 1 hour. So how do you think airlines will compete with this? Will airlines be using rockets soon?
This is awesome!!!!!
This was a great video, really expanding your brand from reporter to idea maker...thank you DJ! I think there was a small error early in the video, when you talk about single aisle aircraft and the success of the A320/321neo with a warning to Boeing. You say that Boeing could miss the boat if they do not approve their "787" program. I think you meant to say 797 program. Moreso, most reports about the 797 are that it will be a two aisle aircraft rather than single aisle. Obviously, no one knows for certain, but it seems the 797, as a MM plane, will need 2 aisles to deplane the expected 220-260 seat capacity.
Beyond that, I really love the information given and the dreaming it will make happen. :) I have an idea for a long haul airline connecting the Southern hemisphere...Oceania, South America and Africa. with feeders to US, China and Western Europe. From what I understand, Africa will experience a boom in development in the second half of the 21st century to rival Asia, and as global resources diminish, South America will become more of an economic powerhouse as well, so I guess I am looking a bit past the data dates you offered, but I am a long term thinker. :)
But to start a more realistic airline, I would create a new regional airline in Hawaii using the new breed of regional jets from Bombardier or Embraer. There is only one airline doing inter-island service (Hawaiian) and their 717's are dated, becoming less economical to use, their route structure is not flexible (still hub and spoke, which is ridiculous) and over 40% of travelers on our inter-island service are local, and that percentage is bound to increase. Furthermore, there will be a huge uptick in direct flights from US mainland to the outer islands, lowering the need of inter-island hub service and international flights are climbing, but Hawaiian's inter-island terminal is quite inconvenient for international flights. While Hawaiian does affiliate with a large number of airlines, it is not part of a major affiliation such as One World, so there is a huge opportunity to build a relationship with a major international affiliation. To build quick local loyalty, I would resurrect the name "Aloha Airlines," which though underfunded, was a beloved regional airline in the recent past.
Sorry, the 717 is the ideal aircraft for Hawaii. I should know as I helped deliver the first aircraft of its type to Europe years ago. It truly is a Douglas airplane and is among the best they ever built.
It is a great plane, but every plane has a lifetime. And now the new planes offer a better cabin environment. Besides, this was about a new airline and there are no new 717's to buy.

Good luck!
I’d love to own an airline and be a pilot for it as well so I get to decide which planes to buy!
Not a really good idea. Pilots are notoriously poor top level airline managers outside of flight operations.
Alex P Lol I know that. Just saying it’d be awesome.
Very inspiring videos. Thanks DJ. My vision is to help the low SES markets to experience very affordable airlines. If possible cheapest then current LCC airlines. Therefore, I have a question, is it possible to operates the old aircraft for example like DC-3 or similar? Are there many available parts for that kind of plane? My target of passengers are people who only rely on trains. They could not afford even for the LCC ticket price.
Would love to have an airline company based in Indonesia since I'm from there. Not many carriers based in Indonesia serves long-haul intl flight so the flight can be too long sometime with too many layover. Maybe one day I could found an airline company, this sounds like a pipe dream but eh anything to cheer me up lol
Can you please show us how to make a videos like these. Great video like always
