There's also a similar newswire report this morning from the Regulatory News Service which includes the following statement from Lawrence Hunt:
Lawrence Hunt, Chief Executive of Silverjet, said:
"We are delighted to have secured a letter of intent for two further long range aircraft for delivery in March 2008. With these five aircraft we are on track to operate ten aircraft within three years as set out at the time of our IPO. These aircraft have the more powerful engine type which will enable us to fly to destinations in India, China, South Africa as well as the West Coast of the USA with 100 passengers from our unique terminal facility at London Luton Airport.
"We are also pleased to announce very strong passenger and on time statistics for May, maintaining the high level of load factor we reached in April of this year. This is now our fourth month of growth and our forward bookings continue to be ahead of the Board's initial expectations. We have again delivered an impressive on time performance on London Luton to New York Newark daily service.
"Our second daily service will now come into full operation in late July to allow our first aircraft to receive its full C-Check. We have decided to bring this forward to July as it is the quietest month for transatlantic business travel and will cause minimum disruption for our customers.
"We have received fantastic feedback on our award winning business class product including 3 travel industry awards. We are delighted with our strong load factors and on time statistics and look forward to offering our exclusively business class product on additional routes."
