UK Airline Global Airlines Aims to Revolutionize Transatlantic Travel Experience with Exceptional Service and Affordable Fares
Global Airlines, a UK-based airline founded by James Asquith, is set to launch flights between London and New York within a year. Asquith, also the creator of travel company Holiday Swap, claims that transatlantic passengers are sick and tired of their treatment and promises to provide a superior travel experience. He emphasizes the need for better service and aims to make customers feel like a million dollars.
With a strong focus on customer satisfaction, Global Airlines plans to serve high-quality food and drinks, offering passengers the best in-flight dining experience across all transatlantic services. The airline aims to create a legacy of exceptional service rather than focusing on financial gains. Asquith states, I’d rather walk away with zero (money) and have something that people genuinely love.”
Global Airlines plans to operate flights between London Gatwick and JFK by the middle of next year, followed by flights between Gatwick and Los Angeles. The airline’s founder believes that the current carriers fall short in treating passengers well and devalue loyalty platforms. Asquith wants to offer an alternative that puts customers first.
To set itself apart from competitors, Global Airlines plans to offer affordable fares, making them in line with, if not cheaper than other airlines. This is made possible through the company’s acquisition of four previously-used Airbus A380s at reduced prices, which eliminates the burden of lease agreements and bonds. By avoiding excessive debts, the airline intends to be financially sound from the start.
In addition to providing excellent service, Global Airlines plans to offer unique perks. First-class ticket holders will enjoy chauffeur-driven transport to airports and a proper social space onboard the planes. The goal is to create a strong product in first class that will positively impact the economy class experience, as Asquith believes that everyone should feel like a million dollars.
Asquith is confident in Global Airlines’ ability to succeed, despite competition from established carriers like British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. He views the increasing demand and supply on the London-New York route as an opportunity to stand out with a superior product.
While the airline faces significant challenges, including the decision to use A380s with their high operational costs and uncertainties regarding spare parts availability, industry experts wish the team luck and hope for a successful venture. Asquith’s ultimate dream of launching an airline has been in the making for years, and he is determined to make it a reality.
With plans to expand aggressively in the coming years and a strong belief in the potential of Global Airlines, Asquith remains committed to providing an exceptional travel experience for passengers. By prioritizing customer satisfaction, offering affordable fares, and aiming to make each passenger feel like a million dollars, Global Airlines hopes to revolutionize transatlantic travel.
