Shame about GlobeJet, but I'm not totally surprised.
The CEO was approached some time ago by our group about leasing one of their airplanes, initially for 80 hours/month, with a large potential for this to grow to 160-180 hours in a short time.
We were turned down, as this apparently was not enough utilization for GlobeJet.
Their loss, our gain, as it turned out.
We found a better deal elsewhere.
In my considered opinion, GlobeJet was rather foolish, as the -500 airplane would have been ideal for planned South American and Caribbean services...already proposed.
