SilverJet (Merged 30/05)

[Powerjet1]

For what it is worth, Silverjet will announce interim results for the period ended 30 Sept, on wednesday, 22 November.

Not sure if silverjet will run EC for there program, or the two Thomson 767's which are GB-RIF and GB-RIG

Although it would make seens as IG and IF are 204's and EC is 216. Not sure but i dont think there are major differences between them. But if i was to refit an A/C id like to do the same model next and run into the same problems.

Also that EC is now running charter why refit it to do charter then refit it again?

Either way im sure we will find out around December what silverjet intend to do.

EC

The total consideration for the two aircraft amounts to US $28.20 million (£15.19 million), of which US $2.82 million (£1.52 million) has been paid by way of deposit and the balance is payable as to US $12.69 million (£6.83 million) upon delivery of the first aircraft by the end of March 2007, and as to US $12.69 million (£6.83 million) upon delivery of the second aircraft by the end of October 2007.

From the Silverjet website. First A/C to arrive March 07. First flight Jan 07. Does not take the brains of a rocket scientist

Man_user, the 204 and 216 you refer to is the oringinal customer number the a/c was delivered too, e.g. 04 is (was) Britannia, 36 is BA, 3V is EZY, etc. It has nothing to do with a/c performance.

I don't think the original poster was implying the model numbers affected performance. However the differences between model numbers often relate to interior fit, e.g. galley positions and equipment, so I would agree with man_user that all else being equal it would make sense to have a consistency between aircraft on this level.

Fair point

[Man_User]

Thankyou both Offstand and Cyrano, as i said i wasnt to sure what the 204/216 it meant other than the 2 bit, but as Cyrano has stated it is also to do with the fit of the a/c and thats what i was getting at.

Note to self : make yourself more clear

EDIT : Looks like EC IS going to be refited as well \/\/

In their maiden results, released this morning, is the announcement of a second daily flight between Luton & Newark from late April 07. Advanced bookings, apparently well ahead of expectations.

Three 767s plus options on 2 more. Many other points so suggest look at website.

Luton-New york twice daily!

Hi Guys,

Do any of you know what other routes Silverjet are considering after Newark? I know the business plan is to operate up to 10 B767's within 3 years but where to?

Silverjet, today, announced it has signed a deal with Luton airport to build the world's first private jet terminal for commercial passengers. Apparently it will seat up to 100 passengers, but no check-in desks, but will have its own customs, security & immigration. For passengers that have not already checked-in online etc, a kerb-side drop to a concierge will be available, pax then take their seats in the lounge, and a seat side check-in takes place

Is this the area which is currently being worked on near to the main passenger terminal or is something else planned.

Each customer can specify their own equipment fit in a new aircraft as such it can be seats, galley layout, avionics fit, cockpit layout even as far as engines and fuel tankage. I think if I was taking on a small fleet new to my airline I would want them all to be as close as possible to the same specification. '04 is Britannia Airways '16 is Lan-Chile

Definitely needs something on the tail, at the very least. Disappointing.

Discretion is the name of the game. It almost looks like a biz jet

[Banzai Eagle]

Walla I agree.
I hear some Pilots (10) from DHL Air have been offered jobs at Silverjet

That’s a hell of a big area just for only 100 passengers. I was in the Silverjet terminal a couple of weeks ago when it was still being gutted. The area in question is 60% of the old departure lounge shopping mall including all the shops on the left hand side as you face the old terminal, which have now been demolished. All of the food outlet village including the bar and kitchens and the old duty free shop.

Seeing that Silver jet intend to expand services out of Luton the area can accommodate several departures with some comfort.

For me there are three major issues, which can’t be resolved in the short-term. The nightmare traffic congestion due to the M1 roadworks. The fact that it looks like passengers are going to have to be bussed to the aircraft and that there are no air bridges at Luton to keep those expensive business suits dry when it rains
