When he was 16, business entrepreneur Daniel Reilly took flying lessons.[4] At the age of 18, Nexus Airlines was founded. A single Boeing 737 was leased from Futura, and Reilly started flying passengers from Liverpool John Lennon to Spanish airports.[citation needed]
Later, at an unknown time, one of the major investors of Nexus Airlines filed for bankruptcy; claiming Nexus Airlines as an asset. This meant the closure of the airline was required.
