Eirjet
 

Rumour has it that Eirjet is being investigated by the IAA due to crewing regulations.

They are constantly delayed over the weekends, and they are on a cash for fuel agreement.

Looks like the future ain't too bright for Eirjet!

And with Excel Airways Ireland coming along soon, that wont help future prospects

Well said leave them alone !

[QUOTE=Unionjet28]
Yes, there have been delays. But i think it's fair to say Eirjet are not the only airline in DUB that had its share of delays last weekend. Thats not trying to Justify it, no-one likes being stuck in the overcrowded mess that is DUB, but it is being addressed. [QUOTE]

UnionJet you should know that eirJet has a fine history of delays which date back to last summer, I should I spent 12 hours in Cork airport, and had anothr flight cancelled outright. Had to find my own way home, and EIR left it up to first choice reps to sort their sorry mess, both in AGP and ORK. It was an utter disgrace.:mad:and one which continues this summer.

FCA787...people in glass houses should not throw stones, were it not for First Choice this shower would have no contracts for the summer months.

Cork
 

Last Sunday week, Eirjet overflew Cork on an AGP/ORK/SNN flight after along delay. Similar delay last Sunday though this time they landed at Cork.
Their weekend operation at Cork/SNN is very tight.

Has Eirjet got their fourth A320 yet?

Yes EI-DOZ has been flying for the past week. I think it's first revenue service for Eirjet was a charter from Cork. It arrived from Montreal into Shannon last Friday July 21 after a 5hr 20min Atlantic crossing. It is an all white livery at present.

rgds,

GP.

I had noticed other airline's flying for EIR a lot? Have they scheduled too many flights for the summer, or was their a delay with a new aircraft arriving? Either way, with all those delays, I'm glad I didnt take a job with them!

Orlando
 

I heard that Eirjet applied for permission to use their A320s on T/A flights to Orlando but I haven't heard anything since...has anyone any info?:confused:

Could they confuse Patrick Air Force base for Orlando International???? They can't all be lost as last years easter eggs!!!! Hope Eejit Air do well on their new Caribbean Contract. Rasta Pilots.............now there's a thought!!!!:}

The T/A permission thing was all about a ACMI contract with Air Jamaica when DKG went on wet lease for last winter.

The new EI-DOZ was noted outside Lufthansa painting at Shannon today. (It arrived all white a few weeks ago)

Would EIjet ever go LCC?

EI-DOZ was rolled out today in Manana airlines c/s. Who are they :confused: :confused: :confused:

It is in fact Mandala Airlines of Indonesia.

EIDOZ is going to Indonesia on a AMI (Aircraft,Maintenace,Insurance) Lease for a number of years. To be followed by another Eirjet A/C.

What are Eirjet going doing for their own flights?!

Note that the regulator shows Eirjets AOC expiring on 27th October, and they only have a temperary license at present

I guess that they will use their other 2 aircraft to operate the remainder of the summer season. Then it is the quiet time in the Irish charter market, so I guess they will look doing some other ACMI business. Maybe Ryanair again or Easyjet, they have been operating for EZY recently.
Looks like good news with the 2 aircraft going to Indonesia, rather than sitting around Europe when it is quiet. Don't other charter airlines send aircraft to the far eastand north america for the winter?
Their AOC is valid to 23 Dec, and the licence that you refer to is the one issued by the civil aviation regulator
My 2 cents

Eirjet
 

I beleive tomorrow will be a significant day for Eirjet.

Understand they have just ceased trading:uhoh:

And what do you base this on???????:mad:

Understand?
 

Chidken Sangwich. You understand they have ceased trading? Perhaps you could let us all know where you got the information to base this understanding on. Statements like that are incredibly damaging and if based on a rumour and not solid fact, are downright rude and inconsiderate!:mad:

Tim 01 - Information that I have been told!

You should not make statements that you have no foundation for.

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.

Thanks for reminding me of why I stopped posting on here!

What does PPRune stand for again???

There's no smoke without fire, but we're still searching for the flames !:ugh:

Eirjet A320 Reprocessed
 

There is a thread on the Dublin Airport Forum, that says that one of their A320s EI-DOZ was reprocessed in Shannon?

The latest I heard (last week) is that they will be acquiring 2 additional A320 from Canada over the winter..

If what you say is true, then someone has got thie sums wrong...:rolleyes:

yak

Mods - I suggest a merge with the other Eirjet thread...

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.

Eirjet
 

I was reading a thread on Eirjet today but it seems to have disappeared.

Indeed. I suspect it was perceived as sailing too close to the potentially defamatory.

Can anyone shed some light on what the subject matter was? without going into details that would get the post deleted once again that is !

All four A320s are parked in Shannon tonight. EI-DOZ in Mandala colours for a lease out. Other three just parked. Nothing else to report.

not all four airplanes are in snn, one in snn in mandala colours :=

Eirjet Ireland
 

EirJet A320 operation in Ireland have been issued with a "temporary licence" by the Irish Commission for Aviation due to Financial difficulties until the 27th October as reported in the Irish Times......... we wish the guys well.:(

From www.ireland.com / Irish Times

Eirjet issued with 10-day licence

The Shannon-based charter airline Eirjet has been issued with a 10-day "temporary licence" by the Commission for Aviation Regulation amid fears that the airline is experiencing financial difficulties, writes Pat Flynn.

The Commission has confirmed that it has received communication from the company and that yesterday it had issued a temporary air carrier licence to Eirjet, which will expire on October 27th.

There is an article in todays paper saying they have been given a 10 day t here because of "Financial" worries so it's obviously serious.

In the Irish Times:

Fingers crossed for the guys,been there with TransAer as I know some off the guys in Eirjet have been as well.Let's hope lighting doesn't strike again and in October as well.

Are Eirjet still trading
 

Odd mesage on their website blaiming a telecom company's inbility as the reason for the public experiencing difficulties contacting them by phone.
I got a strange email from a ld friend of mine yesterday enquiring about employment elsewhere... she has been with Eirjet since the begining.
Hope things are OK in Shannon!

Edited to incude a releas from RTE news...not good reading:-(
"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."

Smart Telecom one of the leading Irish telecoms providers got into difficulties a few weeks ago and their access was cut off by Eircom - the incumbent telco wholesaler in Ireland - because they owed them E4 million.

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?
