Maxjet
Maxjets first New York JFK to London Stansted flight arrived this morning at 06.55. The return flight will leave STN at 10.00. I hope this airline does extremely well on this route and will hopefully add more routes.

A good article on BBC London Evening news about Maxjet's first flight to JFK from London today; it also featured eos.
Maxjet's cabin looks pretty airy and bright whilst eos looks slightly dull - but a very positive view of the 2 new STN-JFK start ups.

Well....I have not flown with either company, but a quick price comparison for
STN JFK 15JAN06
JFK STN 18JAN06
Gives:
EOS 2555.50GBP
MXJ 850.20GBP
Quite a difference ay!!
We have all looked at the cabin pictures and seating plans - are both carriers selling C class cabins officially?
I'd say that EOS is more comparable to VS Upper Class and MXJ to VS Premium economy.

Regarding load factors, saw this in the FT.
'Mr Rogliano said that Maxjet had recently been achieving a load factor - the share of available seats filled - of “well above 50 per cent on average.” The business model is based on achieving a break-even load factor of 70 per cent '.

...plus I'd assume that yield was probably lower-than-average in the first couple of months (introductory offers, more availability at lower fares to tempt people to try the service, etc.), whereas the business plan breakeven percentage he quotes is likely to be a steady-state figure (i.e. once yield has reached its "normal" level). So in practice saying "our load factor is over 50%, our breakeven is 70%" is likely to be an apples-to-oranges comparison.
