It's almost always better to create a new airline ex-nihilo as you get brand new planes, which are better than older ones.

This is almost exactly the opposite of what most new airlines do. The fastest, cheapest way to get a good plane is to buy an old plane from an existing airline (preferably one going out of business, so you get a deal) and renovate it a little.

Good luck trying to get any planes with the current backlog. Unless you enjoy flying in the 737 Max.
