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

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: C. |

I'm Out!!!!!

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

dc9-32 What is the relevance/meaning of your post? I just do not "get" it 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! BBC - Dragons' Den - Homepage |
Website seems to have been updated, with changes in several areas. Claims booking engine will go live on 15 October. Right.............
|
Oh perlease!
Apparently "you will be able to fly... when we get an extra six aircraft". Which I guess would make a grand total OF.....six aircraft. I've got more chance of flying from Luton to Cardiff on the back of a pig - or with Fly for Beans. :} |
Time Tables
I think that what they are trying to say, in mangled English, is that you will be able to fly direct from say, BRS to NCL without going via LTN. However the combination of points would need more than another 6 aircraft to serve them all.
Time table seems to have been changed but still no early morning/late evening flights and Monday now shows: One a day to BRS/LPL/LBA/MAN/NWI/EMA with Tuesday similar but BHX instead of EMA? Logical - I don't think so |
Groundloop -
Thanks for the info. Now I "get it" , , , , :ok: Ah may be slo - but I ain't dumb :eek: |
Website seems to have been updated, with changes in several areas |
Apart from the front page of the website, everything else seems to have gone. What a surprise..not.
|
It actually looks like an update!
|
The logo looks like a dolphin jumping through a hoop!

Big Mouth On You
I Don't Suppose You Have Ever Had The Balls To Try Anything With Your Life's Your'e Too Busy Critasizing Others, Good Luck To Them At Least They Are Prepared To Give It A Go.You can't even use the motorways anymore so yea fly.

Oooh Candice, Jambo
Touched a nerve, have we? Last person I knew called Candice was called Colin Monday to Friday :E Gentle, friendly hint dear; when posting, use a spell checker :} I Don't Suppose You Have Ever Had The Balls To Try Anything With Your Life's Stoney With a name MaxieJET, shouldn't it fly JETS....hell, let's see if it flies at all :ugh: |
I think it may have gone T*Ts up as the website ain't be working for a couple of days now. Even though some routes may not have worked but some routes would of and in my opinion more flights to London are needed from british airports i.e CWL, BRs, BHX, EXT. I undersdtand though they are in direct competition with bus and train which will win overall on these routes.
|
New website set up:
www.maxiejetairlines.com I think it is the same company. It looks like they are going a head?? |
Wow
The Maxiejet link posted just leads to a blue back ground with Google ads and a blank Grey page with a logo - midday 17/11/08 at 12.30 PM - Progress .Watch out BA/LH/AA/DL they are comming.. Bargan Legpull Business fares to Droitwitch - Vertical Approach and climbouts featured. Is this a marketing ploy/ project just to see how much interest a web site can accrue. A bit like those Bus ads for a product keeping "Terriers off your Toms".
