"The charter carrier and aircraft lessor is currently advertising for pilots and cabin crew positions for scheduled operations based in London Heathrow, starting in March 2013," it quoted sources as saying.

Avion Express leases Airbus 319 and Airbus 320 aircraft to air carriers, including Iceland's low-cost airline Wow Air.

According to an unverified post on Avion Express's Wikipedia page, "The airline is widely expected to be operating Virgin Atlantic's domestic flights from London Heathrow to Manchester, Glasgow, and Edinburgh for the 2013 season."
