That is the standard London Stock Exchange announcement made when a company has run out of money.
MY101 due to take off 14.30 Stansted. Will it or won't it?

Sometimes share trading is suspended ahead of good news (eg. an acquisition or take-over or other major announcement), as well as bad news. I have no idea which it is here, but we should just wait.

Fresh off the AP wire:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/22148806/for/cnbc
Ben Foster, a spokesman for MAXjet in London, sought to assure passengers that the suspension of trading will have no effect on operations.
"It's very much business as usual," he said in a telephone interview. "The airline will be flying next week, and over Christmas."

I am surprised at the low number of posts here given the significance of this news.
As an astute poster implied, it is absolutely clear that this means game over for MAXJet. Period. The significance of this is what it says for the concept of all-business class travel, a new (and therefore small) but also potentially significant sector.
Is it dead and buried? Will Silverjet be next? Or is this due to the specifics of MAXjet's operation and/or financing, which will help Silverjet in giving them a run of no competition to launch this segment and establish the business model?
Interesting times ahead for this niche air transport segment

I hope it is not the end... I used them a few weeks ago to pop over to JFK. Good service and they deserve to do well but loads were not that busy. Just over half full from memory!

Well I hope this isn't the end for Maxjet. Flew with them recently and was very impressed with the overall service. The load factors seemed ok too with about 60-70 each way.
Good luck to them!

With significant improvements to the Virgin product (Limo to Lounge in 10 minutes and a private, all business cabin) and BA's Project Laurel with unlimited backing, it's only a matter of time before the demise of the all business carriers from the regions.
