Hi,

To be honest, I don't have a clue where you should start - perhaps by coming up with a route that people would make frequent use of, and obviously you will need financial backing, pilots, etc. The following story from earlier this year may be of interest:

And another teenager, Daniel Reilly from Liverpool, has also set up Nexus Airways (http://www.nexusairways.com/). Perhaps you could try contacting him and finding out more, or do some research to find out more about how he set the airline up.
