The name I would like to ressurect would be EUJet 😮

I felt that that airline had real potential, and also proved that there was a market from Kent International (Manston, MSE).

I severely doubt that they proved the market exists from MSE – they appeared to be struggling to half-fill the 100 seat Fk100 on a lot of their routes so the economics of having no more than 50 to 60 passengers on an aircraft with 180 seats to fill only means that they would have folded quite quickly!

One remembers the times when an unheard of airline called EUJet applied for slots out of MAN a few years ago….now if they had been successful in getting the slots, they would have stood a better chance of making a go out of their operations as there would have been little lo-cost competition at MAN and only easyJet out of LPL.
