Maxjet would like to start service between KMCO and KFLL to EGSS when aircraft 4 and 5 come on line. KIAD starts up 23 May. Talks of KLAX or KSFO service is further in the future after Florida. They do, however, want to build up their charter business too.

Maxjet starts STN to LAX August 30th, l have just read.

Is Russell Fraser no longer at Silverjet?
He no longer appears on the Management Team page on their web site. He was previously listed as Commercial Director.

Hi from a newbie.

Silverjet's second daily LTN-EWR is due to start on 1 July. However, between the 1st & 20th July, the second flight is showing as "Sold Out" every day. No way can this be the case, so is fitting out of the second aircraft taking longer than expected, delaying the start by about three weeks ?

[thepeacock]

I hear Silverjet wants to start Luton - Chicago for the winter.

[Powerjet1]

Today's flight did not operate to EWR and it looks like tomorrow's flight is going the same way. Both days show "Flight sold out", their usual phrase for a cancelled flight. Is there some underlying problem, since all saturday flights this month share the same fate, and the second daily, due to start on 1 July, has been put back for at least three weeks. Anyone know anymore ?

Their aircraft is in Manchester for maintenance, it arrived mid afternoon

The aircraft requires an Engineering A check after certain amount of flight hours. These checks are undertaken by My Travel at Manchester. The Airline will calculate when these checks are due (its not rocket science to calculate the hours based on a JFK being aprox 14 hrs per day) and then take out either a service or 2 services on a planned basis. By the sounds of it the weekends are the quieter times for JFK so they do it then.

[Powerjet1]

Thanks for that. Just that in the past, since day one of ops, it seemed to be every other saturday, up to MAN for checks and then back in service on sunday. However, appreciate that sometimes, things will take longer and different factors will come into play.

Anyone remember Laker Airways??!!

[Flightrider]

It's a bit more than routine maintenance - G-SJET is in for an engine change.

SilverJet flights cancelled

I see SilverJet cancelled a flight the other day due to tech Aircraft!!

But what im wondering is how do the pax get to new york?? do silverjet ship them off to BA? how does it work?

[Buster the Bear]

Following a huge delay due technical problems fairly recently, folk were shipped back 'sardine' class with Virgin. They did get a free return ticket for their suffering I understand.

[DONTTELLTHEPAX]

They should try to fit them on MAX and EOS, I would be well pissed
to be put onto VS or BA and (Y) class is such a joke.

Anyone remember Laker Airways??!!

Slightly random! Of course people remember Laker Airways but they arent really similar to Silverjet apart from the fact they both fly transatlantic!

[Powerjet1]

Has announced it is to purchase two further 767s from Thomsonfly, with delivery for both aircraft to take place in March 08. Will bring the total to 5.
