Well there was a post yesterday "Big Eirjet announcement tomorrow" so I guess it takes one joker to play on this and to say either they have gone bust, or ordered 100 A380s!! Both most probably way off the mark.

OK guys, just cool it.
Do NOT place speculative posts on PPRuNe. If you are NOT in possession of the facts do not post. There are two reasons for this.
1. PPRuNe might be bought to account.
2. The staff at the airline might read it and imagine how they will feel, especially if unsubstantiated information is read by them. They are no different to anyone else in those circumstances - they worry!
If anyone does this again I will remove their PPRuNe privileges. Hope that is clear.

"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."

The only thing is that access has since been restored, so the message should have gone by now.
Any word on what tour operators who have customers stuck abroad are doing?
