I have noticed this message on the website for a number of weeks now, since the issue with Smart Telecom which was widely publicised in the media, and obviously has nothing to do with the current circumstances.

Eirjet grounded by financial problems 18 October 2006 14:44 The charter airline company, Eirjet, has confirmed that it has suspended all flight operations because of financial difficulties and fears about its future. The Shannon-based company had been operating charter services out of Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Shannon and Knock. The company leased passenger aircraft to holiday tour operators such as JWT, Sunworld and Toplight. Advertisement Eirjet had been granted a temporary 10-day licence to operate by the Commission for Aviation Regulation up until 27 October. The company was due to continue its charter business out of both Dublin and Belfast up until 29 October. A company spokesperson said they had voluntarily suspended their flight operations because of continuing financial difficulties, to ensure that members of the public would not be inconvenienced. Tour operators are making alternative leasing arrangements. Eirjet says it is continuing to try to negotiate finance which will secure its future. The company added that the season in which it operated was coming to a natural end by 29 October.:( |
Yep....its official :(

Sad news, the most unbelievable bit of the whole story though was the first posting that said the " IAA were investigating" ,shome mishtake shurely. See what happens if you don't have any chunky brown envelopes to hand.

Sad to see this development. Following in the footsteps of Transaer and Skynet. Basing an airline in Shannon when most of the operations are out of Dublin doesn't seem logical.
|
Good luck Eirjet boys, and girls.
TransAer was bad enough, I know, so for those going through it again, good luck to you. From an ex-TLA Brit, who loved the craic. I wish you well.:ok:

Good luck to all the Eirjet crowd! Having spent a good deal of time in Shannon this year, flying and having cheeky scoops in Nancy Blakes, I wish all the lads (and lass) the very best. Let's hope a solution can be found.

Tim01 and theGoon - I assume that your apology, or at least an acknowledgment that Chidken Sangwich's post was entirely warranted is on the way?:rolleyes: :hmm:

Knowing three of the lads from time in the sandpit, it strikes home as a terrible blow.
Best wishes to Jackie, Langer, PM and all concerned. Slan go foill, IF2:* |

I read in a newspaper today that a notice had been posted on the ICA site that Eirjet has "ceased trading", a company spokesperson denied this was the case, they have "ceased flying" but have not "ceased trading" apparentely.
On the bright side, if the worst comes to be and they do "cease trading", at least they called a halt before it got to the stage where they were leaving pax stranded as has happened in the past with other operations... Hope everyone involved survives OK, unfortunately looks like another sad event. :sad: |
I notice that certain posters do not have the integrity to apologise to Chidken Sangwich, but thats about par for the course. :hmm::ugh:
