by The Editors on June 20, 2009

Feb09 14Ted Vallas the former owner of The Olympic Resort on the corner of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real has announced that he is launching new regional airline out of the Carlsbad-Palomar Airport, according to a story on TradingMarkets.com.

The entrepreneur. . . said he plans to launch Carlsbad Palomar Airline with three to six mid-range, mid-size jets, potentially models made by Bombardier, of Canada; Fokker, of the Netherlands; and Embraer, of Brazil. . . Initial flights would include three daily flights to Oakland, with 70 seats each. Two daily flights with 50 to 70 seats would go to Phoenix and then on to Tucson, Ariz. A sixth daily flight would go south to Cabo San Lucas, a resort area at the southern tip of Baja California.

Guess there is no better time to start a business that in a economic downturn.

Perfect! What about a Vegas flight and maybe a Portland flight? Keep the costs within reason and I think it will “Fly”! Nothing stupid like $750 to Oakland!
