Britain’s first Uber-style flight service which will allow people to order planes from their phones is expected to launch this year.
The service will see customers order flights for as little as £55 via an online app and leave within 30 minutes of booking.
Waves airline, expected to start commercial flights in July, will be launched on the Channel Islands – but its creator hopes that it will eventually be used throughout the UK.

Nick Magliocchetti, owner of Waves, said: ‘We will run scheduled flights and booked flights as well.
‘When you book a flight, we will ask whether you would like other people to share the flight with you.
‘If you do, we will add the flight to our schedule and other people will be able to book onto it. If not, you will need to pay for the cost yourself.’
The £5 million project has been launched following dissatisfaction with current flights to mainland UK from Jersey and Guernsey, the company said.
Three 14-seater aircrafts would be used initially to transport customers and would operate out of private hangars.
