Airlines can start up by leasing aircraft. The other way is to buy aircraft but you will need sufficient backing from venture capitalists.

I don't think people are willing to invest much in airlines. The return on investment is poor, it is one of the most volatile sectors and the market is saturated already. Big investors want better returns and so prefer pharmaceuticals or hi-tech.

just one thing.....If you are really serious about starting an airline, why are you posting queries on this website?.....if you need advice, you should be getting it from consultants specialising in aviation. Most global financial institutions have these consultants.
