Feel Air

Feel Air was a Norwegian low-cost airline that had announced plans to operate intercontinental flights from Oslo Airport, Gardermoen in Norway and Stockholm-Arlanda Airport in Sweden. The plans were launched on 2 October 2009 and the announced starting date was Spring 2011 with Airbus A330-200 aircraft. Services would be from both Oslo and Stockholm to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, United States and Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand.

The airline never came on its own feet, and late in 2011 it dropped the whole plan. The airline had a plan to have 160 employees at start-up and a share capital of 240 million Norwegian krone, sold by DNB Markets.

The company is led by Kai Holmberg and Otto Lagarhus[1][2][3] and based at Ramstad in Bærum, Norway.[4] Management has stated that the airline will have a cost structure similar to Ryanair, while taking the operation and business model from AirAsia X and the employment and branding philosophy from Virgin Atlantic.

Feel Air will target leisure travelers and plans to weight frequencies toward New York in the summer and Thailand in the winter. It predicted EBITA of NOK 48 million next year based on yield of $0.05, load factor rising from 49% to 76% and fleet utilization of 16.7 hours per day.[5]

gollark: Look at the datahoarder subreddit on reddit for advice on storing horrendously large amounts of datæ.
gollark: $170 or so for 10TB if they're on sale.
gollark: I think the most cost-effective internal HDDs right now are 10TB ones pulled from a certain brand of external hard drives... the mystical WD EasyStore.
gollark: Also, if you have an NVMe SSD, though, those are usually in the M.2 form factor, which means they use a few of the (usually one to three) M.2 slots on the board itself, and sometimes take away bandwidth from regular SATA ports.
gollark: HDDs are a bit stagnant right now, but SSDs continue to cheapen.
