Flyforbeans was a proposed brand name for a prospective airline to be based in Wales intending to commence operations from Cardiff Airport. As of March 2013, the airlines website is offline and it's domain up for sale.
History
In June 2007 the company applied to the Civil Aviation Authority for its Type A Operating Licence, to allow it to operate both scheduled and charter flights from Cardiff.
Origin of name
The name comes from an idea by the managing director, who was in a market in Provence, France, and overheard someone saying "I got my flight for beans!"
Future plans
Flyforbeans claimed it would operate three Boeing 737-300 aircraft.
It planned to serve destinations in France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Eastern Europe, while trying not to duplicate destinations from Cardiff. The airline had said it had identified many European destinations, of which more than twelve would be served initially, gradually adding further destinations. The airline indicated that it would be aimed at both leisure and business users. The actual destinations and launch date were not announced.
The airline claimed to have delayed commencing flights/ticket sales again due to their CAA license still awaiting approval and their acquisition of aircraft. Ticket sales, according to their website, were to begin in April with flights beginning in June 2008. One of the possible routes was Malta, as the Malta Airport website said flights from Cardiff to Malta would start in September 2008. These flights did not materialise.
On 17 October 2008, Flyforbeans announced that they are still planning the airline and waiting for a good time to start an airline due to the financial crisis. They have said they are waiting for a good time after the collapse of some airlines.
In January 2010, after months of inactivity on the website, the website received an update stating Coming soon - a new web presence for Flyforbeans.
In March 2012, Flyforbeans was reported to in advanced discussions to purchase the low cost carrier BmiBaby. The airline was on the market due to the sale of its parent company British Midland International. However in April 2012, Bmibaby and sister company BMI Regional were sold with the parents company to International Airlines Group.
In June 2012, Flyforbeans website was offline again. No more information is available about the future of the proposed airline.
As of January 2013, the website address, flyforbeans.com was up for sale.
