JetX

Hello, wondering if someone has information about a new company called JetX? It should start operating soon with base in Italy.

JetX (Bologna Forli) has started operations earlier this month when it operated some flights with its MD-82 on behalf of Windjet (IV/Catania) on a wet-lease basis. The Italian civil authorities have banned the new operator from Italian airspace until further notice after a serious incident and an emergency landing in Catania. The carrier was planning to start scheduled low-fare operations from Bologna Forli, Pisa and Trieste in early June; it is unknown whether it still plans to go ahead with these plans.

This is interesting. Their MD-82 seems to be registered in Iceland as TF-JXA (according to a new Airliners.net photo (http://www.airliners.net/open.file/580096/L/). I wonder if they are somehow connected to another Icelandic carrier, MD Airlines, that operated 3-4 MD's out of sweden (went bankrupt last year I think).
