History
The airline incorporated in September 2010 and is headquartered at a business property at Borough High Street in London. The airline was first revealed in an article by Reuters in December 2011, citing it as being one of the undisclosed customers of the Bombardier CSeries aircraft. During the 2013 Paris Air Show, Bombardier and Odyssey officially revealed the identity of the airline to the public, with a planned launch date in 2016.
In April 2014, it started to raise $5 million through crowdfunding. During early 2016, the airline pushed its launch date into 2017.
Odyssey Airlines plans to operate as a premium carrier, offering an all-business class service onboard its aircraft. The planned service from London-City to New York is already operated in a similar way by British Airways onboard an Airbus A318-100 in all-business class configuration.
Destinations
The airline plans to be based at London City Airport and will serve mainly medium and long haul destinations, such as New York City and Toronto, the latter possibly in cooperation with Porter Airlines. A detailed plan of further future destinations has not been revealed yet.
