I haven't been in Rome much since Feb/March, but back then on the Rome to Catania and Palermo sectors they were packing them in on every sector. The travelling public just couldn't seem to get enough NJI.
Then there was a float, raising millions (not to mention the millions that Aerospace may have offered them to get started with the 146's. Remember Eurodirect?)
When and how did it manage to go so wrong?
Was there some skulduggery somewhere?

Probably had a lot to do with the 2 737's and 3 unsuccessful destinations - Nice, Milan and Athens. The loads for Palermo and Catania have remained very good so it's a huge shame this has happened. Lets hope something can be salvaged from this. Gutted.

As of today, NJI have not at this time gone into liquidation either voluntary or involuntary, but have apparently terminated leases on all aircraft in fleet. I spent a hectic few months flying FCO/PMO/CTA & Milan sectors in 737 3/400's earlier this year. Good luck to all in NJI.

Which company, based in Jersey employs the crew? Appreciate any feedback on who owns NJI etc. Sorry, but not really an operator I have much knowledge of.

All my moral support to all NJI employees who lost their job.
This is anyway the "unfortunate end-result" of a lot of airline enterprises, with the vast majority of others struggling to survive even in good times. Except a few examples (Southwest Airlines being the best one), they seem not to be worthy of real emulation from all those "scientists" in the airline business with Phd, very high "ego" levels, "experience" and a lot of "communication skills"....on b......t!!!...as the everyday aviation reports flood us.
These "scientists" would never mention things like... vision..company culture...values and beliefs...family atmosphere... respect...dignity...love...: they might try to use those words, but being miles away from the real meaning.
The only thing they can use are some financial tools and a lot of fooling up with people....this is what we experience everyday.
A very often misjudged aviation quotation says:" The airline business is won and lost at the margins". This is a business where if you apply ONLY financial principles you are heading toward failure.
This is actually what happens in the vast majority of cases.
An organization can be successful if it has a HEART and a SOUL: this is the sine qua non condition!
What we continously see is a lot of "financial tools" based airlines that inevitably produce: CEOs with pockets filled up with money, industrial debris, unhappy people (employees ,customers, shareholders)and lost confidence in this sector!!!
