mutley 4,497 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I wasn't sure where to post this as it is no more than trivia Anyhoo, ITV2 is to launch its own celebrity-run airline for a reality show that will see 12 famous faces take on roles such as cabin crew and complaints handlers while real passengers pay to fly to destinations including Ibiza. The eight-part series, which is being likened to a celebrity version of the ITV docusoap Airline, will see a plane chartered from an established airline and rebranded CelebAir, the name of the ITV2 series. CelebAir will have its own ticketing website and backroom operation. It is understood that the airline Monarch is close to signing a deal to lease one of its planes to CelebAir. It is thought budget operation Jet2 was originally approached, but producers decided against setting the show at its Leeds-Bradford airport base as they wanted it in the south-east. Celebrities are currently in the process of being signed up, although none have been confirmed. More here Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
hello_basil 0 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 So, are they going to contract pilots from Monarch? As celebrities, in my opinion, hardly have an ounce of intelligence! Cheers, Theo Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,497 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 They said it is still early days but hinted the airport will be in the South East, this can only mean LGW? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Trouble is, the celebrities that usually go on these shows are either ones we've never heard of or ones we have for the wrong reasons. Doubtful any 'real' celebrity would apply, everything to lose, nothing to gain. Link to post Share on other sites
