What’s in a name? Nothing really, it’s just a name but I wanted to share some cheap thrill budget airline names with you guys:
– Wizz Air: Hungarian Airline (in Britain you want to pee when you go for a wizz :)
– Flybaboo: Has the tagline “A breath of Swiss air” hehe.
– One-Two-Go: The domestic wing of Orient-Thai Airlines.
– Spice Jet: Low cost domestic Indian airline. Well, India and spice can be synonyms, so it’s actually quite a valid name.
– Allegiant Air: Ironically it’s a Las Vegas based carrier, that also allows cats and dogs on board. (I didn’t think any airline allowed that. Are there more?)
– Tiger Airways: Asia-Pacific budget airline based out of Australia that seems to be a roaring success.
– Fly-For-Beans: Not in air yet, but the name is great! It’s planned to be an airline for Europe, and with that name I’m sure it’s based out of Britain.
– Spirit Air: Flies to the Caribbean, the Bahamas and Latin America.
– BWIA West Indies Airways: That stands for “British West Indian Airways West Indies Airways”, haha. (I don’t think that’s meant to be funny. It’s probably one of those errors that is so deep-seated, there’s no point fixing it anymore).
–Garuda Airlines: It’s an Indonesian airline, and ‘garuda’ is a Hindu/Buddhist mythological bird. Interesting as majority of Indonesia is muslim.
I remember when Virgin Airlines launched ages ago (now Virgin Atlantic) — I found its name cool and innovative; guess it’s way behind on that front now!
