maxiejet - anyone shed any light?
 
Dont know if this has been reported yet.
Anyone shed any light? Looks a bit ambitious in current economic climate to say the least....

Well, it's good enough for a laff on a wet Sunday afternoon.

Didn't know the wingletted Tefal Beech was certified in the UK, and if you click "save" on the coat of arms which I presume is part of "the company's" branding, it's the old Rhodesian coat of arms !!

Maxiejet, flown by Captain Mugabe :}

More chance of getting a ride in an Austin Maxi than a flight on Maxiejet, me thinks :E

Yeah the grammar is awful, reminds me of the daily phishing scams in my inbox....

To be honest I think that the idea is very good.

We don't currently have an LON based airline operating small aircraft connecting the capital to the rest of the UK.

Yes, we have BA and BD who proved links across the Isles but they operate fuel guzzling aircraft that can't serve routes such as LON-EXT etc.

Wouldn't it be great for an airline to make a profit operating flights to destinations such as EXT, BLK etc. from the capital?

Skipness One Echo 7th Sep 2008 18:11

It's a scam guys. You have to charge Eastern prices to fly aircraft that small in the UK market. They can't even speak English properly.

Such a professional website - of course it's genuine ;) Just check out their route map!

SWBKCB 7th Sep 2008 18:50

and the timetable - first flight out at 09.40, last flight back in at 17.45 - very civilised!?!

do you think they will they are a feeder line for their all business class transatlantic operations?

TartinTon 7th Sep 2008 21:36

Err..no. I think it's another spotty kid with no backing having fun with a school project. A bit like Premjet.

...which is consistent with the schedule on the website. And the B1900C in the photos on the website is more photogenic than the aesthetically-challenged B1900D... :cool:

Where's the money coming from? Here, it seems.(Although on this site two Metroliners appear to join the B1900Ds, for some reason.) Hope springs eternal.

Unclear, though, why if the aircraft utilisation is so low, the schedules are so constricted and non-business-friendly. What are the planes going to be doing in prime business hours? Or is LTN really *that* slot-constrained? :confused:

...and a little more research springs up the Rhodesia/Zim connection and the coat of arms on the website....

Grey's Scouts - Rhodesia pictures from military photos on webshots


Grey's Scouts was a horse-mounted regiment of the former Rhodesian army,[1][2] and is now a regiment in the Special Forces of Zimbabwe. The official title is now Zimbabwe Mounted Infantry, but the old title is still used unofficially.

AA SLF, it's to do with a TV programme over here called "Dragon's Den". The people pictured are the "dragons" who are 5 multi-millionaire entrepreneurs. People come into the "den" and pitch their business ideas trying to get the dragons to invest in their companies. Some have been very successful - others have been mad!

The comment that follows, "I'm out!!!!", is what a dragon says when they are not interested and don't want to hear any more.

This Maxieket business idea is definitely an "I'm out" from all 5 dragons!
