He said Really Cool's products and services stand apart from low-cost carriers as competition in this segment is not feasible for a new airline. Existing players could pursue a price dumping strategy to cripple newcomers, relying on their more extensive networks, said Mr Patee. Mr Patee says the new airline plans to fly two Airbus A330-300 aircrafts in the first quarter.
