Global Airlines 'takes on board' Mister OnlyFans. But postpones start of flights to "by the end of 2024"

Global Airlines continues to board people. These are not, however, passengers. But managers and investors. The latest to board the British company is named Tom Stokely. Name that will say little or nothing to most, unlike his creature: OnlyFans.

With his father and brother, Stokely is the man who in 2016, out of nowhere, put online a portal open to subscriptions from anyone who wanted to start their own channel with erotic, when not explicitly pornographic, content. Three years later, OnlyFans reported a profit of $45.8 billion, before the Stokelys pulled out of it by selling the online platform to porn mogul, Leo Radvinsky.

A few hours ago, Global Airlines announced that it has brought Mr. OnlyFans Tom Stokely himself onto its board of directors..

The British company, Whose launch now dates back to 2021, was all over the newspapers and online aviation sites when it announced its intention to put on a fleet of only Airbus A380s and wanting to use them for connecting London with New York and Los Angeles.

Global Airlines buys 3 more Airbus A380s: what if it's serious?

An undoubtedly ambitious project, given that only between the British capital and the Big Apple in summer 2024 there will already be a whopping 28 daily flights operated by British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Norse, American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta, and Jetblue. To think of 'squeezing in' in such a crowded market already, and to do it with an aircraft as large as the A380 while bringing home profits, is no small feat.

To date, however, Global Airlines is still grounded, despite having initially announced the start of operations between spring and summer 2023. Now the date has been moved to "by the end of 2024", according to a company spokesman. And operations will begin as charters before moving to regular scheduled flights. Last year, Global has assigned HiFly Malta to conduct flight operations.

Meanwhile, the fleet has grown to four A380s (although the specialized site planespotters.net attributes only two to it). These are specimens previously owned by Singapore Airlines, which Global intends to fly in three classes with a total of 471 seats, including 12 in First, 60 in Business and 399 in Economy.

Global Airlines will fly A380s to New York and Los Angeles. And comes partnership with Amex

"Like other companies in the commercial aviation sector, we have been faced with delays in the supply chain that have so far prevented us from taking flight," the company explained in a note. Doubts persist, in any case, regarding the feasibility and profitability of Global's announced business model. That a savvy businessman like Tom Stokely is the extra man to get Global off the ground? Hard to say, but his assets will certainly come in handy for the British company.
