Nomination Criteria
A7

An article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability. A7 applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on. Other article types, including school articles, are not eligible for deletion by this criterion. If controversial, as with schools, list the article at articles for deletion instead.

Survey Comments

 * actually, I'd punt on this one and let another admin process
 * I'd check Google news for references. If I couldn't find any I'd prod it.
 * No assertion to notability
 * Starting up an airline isn't the same as starting up some hot dog shack, this article would deserve some slack.
 * Possibly notable. Not many Google hits, so I'd prod rather than AfD.
 * Would google to see if can find any verification, if can then add some sources

Balloonman's analysis
This article was tagged for AFD then nominated G3-Vandalism as a possible hoax. While the airline gets no ghits, that does not mean it is a hoax. Even if it were a hoax, being a hoax is not vandalism or a criteria for speedy, and this article would do no harm going through the prod/afd process. The article had been at AFD for only 2 hours before being deleted A7. It does clearly meet the criteria for A7. The order for 10 passenger jets indicates that this is not a small mom and pop organization, but doesn't IMO establish it as significant/important.
