To our dear customers,
When our inaugural flight took off in January 2007, we pledged to change the face of air travel. Your appreciation of our unique values and your belief in our product has allowed us to achieve this.
Your belief in us was shared by our investors - but regrettably, due to unforeseen circumstances, they were unable to unlock the finance that we needed. As a result, we are very sad to announce that from 30 May 2008, we will cease operations and we are no longer able to honour flight reservations.
We extend our sincerest apologies to those of you who have travel plans with Silverjet in the future and at present. You are advised to seek alternative travel arrangements with other carriers, and contact your credit card company or travel agent directly for information on obtaining refunds.
We are working actively with new investors who are prepared to inject new funds so we can recommence operations. If we are able to achieve this, we will make an announcement as soon as possible and we hope to be able to bring you our very 'sivilised' flying experience again.
Thank you for your support - it has meant everything.
Yours sincerely,
Lawrence Hunt, CEO

Thomas Coupling, bit of insight there a few days ahead fo the rest, guess or inside info? Granted the writing was on the wall to a degree.
To all those affected, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
However, could you share who really killed JFK and this weeks lottery numbers forthwith (by PM naturally).
Thanks in advance

Interesting that there are posts on this forum from those with 'inside' knowledge. It also happened with regard to Oasis, with someone posting a similar message a few days before that went under. I just hope no-one posts the same about my company.

One only needs to know if the planned investment is or is not going ahead. If it is the latter then the writing is on the wall - just a matter of time. With Oasis it was reported that the Reverend was not prepared to put any more funds into the airline. With no one else wishing to do so, then the outcome has to be inevitable!

I very much doubt this is a temporary shut-down. All consumer confidence in Silverjet is now lost, the brand name is a liability, and it is unlikely to ever return, unless funded by something akin the a Premiership club, which is unlikely. No doubt the receivers will be in today to sort out the assets and find buyers.
All companies seem to suggest they will return. Oasis and EOS both had messages similar to that of Silverjet.
