THE future of start-up airline FreshAer is shrouded in mystery after it refunded customers and one of its major financial backers withdrew support.  

The carrier was to begin services in October to Birmingham, Manchester and Stansted from Dublin but has been forced to hand back money to nearly 1,500 customers because it did not have the correct licences to sell tickets.

In a further blow, financial backer John Lepp has withdrawn support after reports emerged he is disqualified from holding directorships in the UK.
