Statement sent from Empora Air:
http://i40.tinypic.com/jztymr.jpgPress Conference SummaryManhasset, NY, May 2, 2009- Today, New York City based Empora Air announced major changes to its website and also released plans to reopen domestic European operations. The website is being designed by a web design firm and should be up within the next few weeks. The new site will contain more info on the VA as well as being more user friendly and attractive. Empora apologizes for the unorganized temporary appearance.
In May of 2008 Empora experimented with a small base out of Milan Malpensa airport. The campaign titled "Italianita", made up of 7 routes throughout Europe but was shortly ended due to Empora's dangerously low activity at the time. Empora has grown with a dedicated base of pilots, with daily flights and activity on VATSIM and IVAO. The airline has done research with its pilots as well as community members not affiliated with the VA which show that this expansion will bring new pilots and more activity to Empora. The fleet of A320 aircraft will be in Empora's standard all business class configuration. The flights will be served out of the charter/private/general aviation terminals of each airport served. Expected service to Rome, London, Munich, Paris, Zurich, Athens and other major cities.

The Airline has secured more money from investing companies to pay the expensive costs of opening a new base overseas. Empora has recently built a new travel planning saloon in Milan to help any customers with travel planning and help customize their trip so they can have the best possible travel experience on board as well as at their destination. At the end of the press conference, the executive staff members all said aloud, “Speriamo di vederla a bordo il mondo è la maggior parte della linea aerea di revolutionary presto!", for those not fluent in their Italian, this means “We hope to see you all on board the world's most revolutionary airline soon!"
