Nexus Airlines - also reported Nexus Airways - was a Liverpool-based low-cost airline created by 18-year-old entrepreneur Daniel Reilly.[1][2][3]
History
When he was 16, business entrepreneur Daniel Reilly took flying lessons. At the age of 18, he established Nexus Airlines together with certain Adam Dovey from Brighton.[4] The airline wanted to fly from Liverpool to Spain and the Canary Islands and a Boeing 737 was leased from Futura.[5][6] However, having expended some £50,000 on initial start-up costs, the company's expectations were dashed when one of the backers, Luton-based Travel Extras, filed for bankruptcy. This meant the closure of the airline was required.
In 2012 Reilly founded JetXtra.com.[7]
