"Financial problems halt Eirjet flights
October 18, 2006 13:36
The charter airline company Eirjet, which is based at Shannon, has confirmed it has suspended all flight operations because of financial difficulties.
The company, which leased passenger aircraft to a number of holiday tour operators such as JWT and Topflight, had been operating charter services out of Dublin, Belfast Cork, Shannon and Knock airports.
A company spokesperson said the company had voluntarily suspended flight operations because of continuing financial difficulties, and to ensure that members of the public would not be inconvenienced.

Tour operators are making alternative leasing arrangements. Meanwhile the company says it is continuing to try to negotiate finance which will secure its future."
