GoodJet folds???

Negotiations between Transair and Goodjet almost collapsed today with the effect that all flights were cancelled effective immediately but later reinstated.
Reasons being Goodjet haven't been able to pay up for operations already undertaken.

More info will follow

Edited for late night miracle...

Wonder how long they can keep going...

That seems to be a lot of bull since the Transair flights are flying normally today.

Well it does say Goodjet folds, not Transair.

Anyone seen a Goodjet in the air today?

A friend of mine with Transair did tell me last night that GoodJet has had payment problems. Hope they stay afloat.

Goodjet had normal operations at TRF today.

Three movements on schedule, and it looks like the arriving flight from Nice is 1 hour late...

Goodjet ops are still, despite enourmous financial difficulties running.. However, Traffic Europa Group today folded with the effect of thousands of passengers being stranded at various locations around Europe..

Goodjet are aledgedly scouting the market for potential funders as they are in desperate need of financing. This I recon might be a bit of a tough nut to crack at times like this.

I'm being told that ops are running day to day as it is right now and noone knows if they'll fly tomorrow..

Wonder if they have Neil D's phonenumber..
