Airline has not opened since its announcement over 5 years ago and their website went offline almost a year ago. As of January 2013, the website domain flyforbeans.com is up for sale. Joshakjohn (talk) 02:18, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Tentative Delete I'm a little iffy about deleting this since it does have links to media coverage regarding the company, but the article overall reads a little bit like a news compilation instead of an encyclopedic article. I can't really see anything noteworthy that they accomplished. --Ozgod (talk) 02:41, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment While I agree with you, I have thoroughly checked various sources to see if there is any chance that Flyforbeans may eventually open and well it doesn't seem likely. Reading the WalesOnline article reinforces this. It states that "Barry-based Flyforbeans was established in 2007 with the aim of launching 12 low-cost routes across Europe from a base at Cardiff Airport. However, while that project has failed to materialise, it is now in advanced discussions which could see it taking over BMI’s low-cost operation Bmibaby." WalesOnline Bmibaby was not sold to Flyforbeans but instead to IAG and following the takeover they announced in May 2012 that Bmibaby was to shutdown by September. I have also checked with the Civil Aviation Authority and they confirm that although Flyforbeans did apply for a Type A Operating License, they did not receive one, this was in 2007 and since that date no further applications have been made and no airline named Flyforbeans or Flyforbeans Avaiation Limited has a Type A Operating License.Type A Operating License Holders - CAA Joshakjohn (talk) 10:00, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete -- The story appeats to be that Mr Lee of Barry has been trying to get a budget airline going for six years, presumably while doing some other job. So far he has neither obtianed a CAA licence for (presumably) funding to get going. The whole story wreeks of WP:CRYSTAL, and in this case the pipedream is either blocked or smashed.
