Well said S N ; I can only hope that the many contributors that have commented on this thread do not work for EU as the remarks are so negative. Such attitude is usually found at LHR. Lets hope that EU jet survive and deserve too taking on a new airport and routes.

I too wish eujet every success. Other small airlines have survived the LCC boom such as flybe, air south west and air wales.
Let's hope they manage to survive in this very competitive environment.

EU Jet haven't had the easiest of launches. They launched at the end of summer, after the peak season, that is income would have been helpful this summer. It also wont help that PlaneStation don't have much cash
I wouldn't really compare them to Flybe, Air Southwest or Air Wales as they operate more domestically, though Flybe are expanding more and mre into Europe
Good luck EU Jet

Hey King Cotton, can you King read????? If you can find the part of my post which suggests that EuJet employees shouldn't post on here then please quote it!!
I was merely pointing out that some posters seemed to get enjoyment from an airline struggling to survive. No problem in people posting about the difficulties of an airline or airport, but perhaps the almost gleeful tone in some threads could be avoided.

Well what can I say?......... I know without any shadow of a doubt that at EUjet both past and present I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the most hard working and dedicated people I have Known. Its true its not perfect by any stretch of the imagination however there is not one person who has left the company who i dont intend staying in touch with, there is not one person who I dont look forward to working with. The only people that dont use my first name are ATC (Im sure they would if they could.) Reporting for duty is where people meet their friends... period. Please remember EUjet has been operating well before 1st September this year...First commercial flight 1st June 03 I think. The routes that were not working were chopped common sence to me but bad news for booked pax. I hear a rumour that santa is coming early for EUjet this year possibly this Wednesday!! Slim, stay in touch, regards to Shaft and Slide-rule.

Just read in a dutch newspaper that EU-jet is in financial trouble and that the airport would like to buy the rest of the shares which will cost them around 30.000.000. They are looking for investors but it's gonna be tough.

CAA stats
The CAA posts "provisional" statistics (i.e. latest months' statistics, not yet fully verified) in a separate part of their site (look under "Airport Provisional Statistics" on the ERG page). The October international passenger numbers are here. This doesn't give capacity, just pax numbers.

Apologies for the 'shouting' was tired and didn't realise caps was on. I do wish eu-jet all the best as most airlines deserve to do well. However one does wonder what posessed them to launch at the time of year they did.

Hi
I was on the FAO on sunday, and the eujet came in, and we counted only 10 people getting of, onto the coach!
When the coach came back with the new passengers they only had 13.......
This is a bit bad.

13 passengers to on a stage length as long as Faro is really very poor... I thought that it was these leisure routes that were performing well.
What ever possessed an unknown airline to commence operations from an unknown airport at the end of the peak season is beyond me.
Perhaps its time for EuJet to re-think their sales techniques and hub airport of choice.

EUJET Loads
Well, well, well....
It's great to see that my Friends above have taken the aggregate of all loads to date on the Faro route (and all the sun routes), done a careful mathematical and statistical analysis and deduced the state of the loads ;-)
Come on guys: you really will have to do better than that! You used one flight!! Yup, aint the best load in the world for sure, but there has been far better! I bet the same source at FAO would not be so quick or happy to tell you when he sees the coaches go full (and there have been some pretty full coaches apparently!)
Do you really think Sleazyjet and Ryanair etc go out with completely full flights every day? Equally, there would seem to be a line of thinking on here that suggests every airline makes massive profits from day one. Anyone who has actually worked in this business should know that is very much not the case. Dont believe the hype emanating from certain low cost quarters that "all our new routes have been succesful from day one"... they may have shown promise from day one, but all of them making money straight off? Puhleeze....... FR for example are still using the massive profits made from they're original Ireland-UK routes to subsidize much of the new European Network until it has established itself, whether Ryanair like to admit or not. Or perhaps we could mention the fact that Sleazy has often made a loss during the winter programme?
Give these guys a chance! No, they are not getting 100% loads on everything straight off (although there have been a few individual flights), but dont write them off just yet! And for gods sake, please drop the tones of joy so evident when someone posts what they perceive as bad news on here.. (and i'm not accusing the two posters above as being responsible for this)
Remember that EUjet is staffed with people who like all of us have to feed themselves.. dont delight in the fact that you feel they may lose their jobs!
Rant over...!

Hi
Well i do Fao quite often well once a week or probably once a fortnight, and to be honest i have never seen a Eujet plane there, i asked our flight deck who they were etc, we were amazed at how many passengers had got of and got on.
Like anyone would, we fly faro daily and our loads are very healthy in comparison.
That particular day our loads were 132/128+2 , i don't think that is bad, to be honest this is a quiet time for us as we had a busy season on fao this year, by the way we use 737-300.
I am not calling them, like i say, i had never heard of them till Sunday just gone!
Well i am on Fao on sunday coming and i will watch carefully them carefully, all one by one

Yesterday an announcement was made to the Stock Exchange confirming that, subject to shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to be held in January, a total of £30 million of new capital has been raised.
The new funds will be used to support both the Airport and the Airline until such time as they come into profit
Merry xmas and a happy new year to EUJet.

Just out of interest, how can EUjet manage to raise "another" £30m and yet an airline like NOW couldn't ? Different business plans I know, fixed pricing does work so it wasn't that which stopped them getting finance.....
