Maybe we will be flying again one day!

Only high end, luxury domestic travel I'm afraid.

9 passengers a max of circa 500 miles (probably only practically 400) at 253 mph.

Not going to get a 100+ people to even Malaga or the Canaries, not much more than London to Paris or Brussels and then you might as well go on the train.
