Up, up and away!

Martin Halstead is only 19, but he already owns an airline owns an airline company. Alpha One Airways will make its first flight on 14 December this year. The plane will fly from the Isle of Man (an island between England and Ireland) to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. It won’t carry a lot of passengers because it is a small plane. The journey will take about 45 minutes. Tickets will be cheap and passengers won’t get any food or drink on the flight. Will the company make money? Nobody knows – but most people think that Martin Halstead will be successful one day.
