$450k a month for old 767-200's?

Sounds like a lot of money, seeing as the wholemarket is about to implode up it's own arse.

These kind of airplanes are so old fashioned, outdated and economically unviable that more and more will be parked up in the coming months.

The oil price rise did for Silverjet in the end, but the airplanes did burn a lot of gas too at M.80 at 30W.

I really feel for Silverjet employees, but the end is here for the company and the end is also nigh for ancient machines such as the 767-200. Fuel costs make them useless.
