All Goodjet aircraft have been grounded. As a result about 2000 passangers are stranded in Sweden and Norway. It all started thursday afternoon, when Transair, who owns the aircraft refused any more flights until Goodjet has payed off their debts to them. Goodjet owns transair about 3 million pounds. Goodjet are threatening to take Transair to court. To add to the chaos, the CEO of Goodjet resigned from his position yesterday, and left the office…

Goodjet in trouble, the story continues
According to the Swedish newspaper “Dagens Nyheter” SMI Media has requested bankrupty of Goodjet. In the article Goodjet claims “we know nothing about this”. HAHA, I doubt it and what is said on their own website:
“Alicante passengers pick-up friday the 13th Dec!
Goodjet has chartered a DC10 which will fly to Alicante and pick up passengers returning to Scandinavia.
The aircraft will fly from Murcia San Javier-flygplatsen to Göteborg where busses will be waiting for transfer to Malmö/Sturup, Oslo/Torp and Stockholm/Arlanda.
The departure is planned for 12.00 and will be landing at 15.50 (local time).
Note!
As adjustments in the timetable may happen and we recommend all passengers to be in the airport in good time as the check in procedures for this large aircraft takes longer time than usual.
The aircraft welcomes passengers that were scheduled for both wednesday and sunday.
Temporary postponement of all flight operations
10th of December, the management and Board of the Swedish low fare airline Goodjet decided to postpone all flight operations for the moment.
– We do it because we can not offer our customers a proper product at the moment, says acting CEO, Paul Gruythuysen. We do, however, expect to be back in the air not later than January 15, 2003.
All employees have been working day and night to get the flight operations working. But, finally, the management decided to postpone all further flight operations until January 15th, 2003 at the latest.
– Ever since Goodjet started early this year, our ambition has been to offer our passengers the best possible low fare ariline service. For the moment, we feel that we are not able any more to fullfil this obligation, says Paul Gruythuysen. We have therefore decided to take a temporary time out in our flight operations.
Passengers already booked on the cancelled flights are offered free reebooking to a future Goodjet flight. Moreover, they will receive a complementary ticket similar to the one they already purchased.
– The rules for reimbursement are relatively complicated, says Paul Gruythuysen, but they are to be found on our website.
The entire Goodjet staff will remain in the company, working together to take care of the passengers. At the same time, work continues with the preparation of a new time table with a sufficient fleet of aircraft.
Get your money reimbursed – or two tickets!
All passengers that are affected by the postponed flights have good news today: Get your money reimbursed – or a new ticket to the same destination, plus an additional ticket for free!
Goodjet is planning to be in the air again on the 15th of January the latest! Up to the day when operations are resumed, affected passengers of a specific flight may claim their reimbursment or get the free tickets.
Goodjet will reimburse the money within 14 days from the registration is made on the website. Read more (swedish pressrelease)

RE: Goodjet in trouble
The Goodjet Saga seems to me strange in many ways, what to think of their own pressrelease
22nd October 2002 “Goodjet köper Transair Sweden” or in
English “Goodjet buys Transair Sweden” the question
comes up, when this take-over finally took place,
daughter cie refuses to fly for mummy?
22nd November 2002 “Goodjet har ny ägare” or “Goodjet has new owner”,
this is MCI Group in NL which also holds interests
in Air Holland (twice bankrupt already and still
not in safe waters) and Royal Aruban Airlines. Have
not found an MCI website but did find a site of
MCI’s mummy SFI from Luxemburg. When you check it
out it is only in French, looks not really classy
and links on their page do not work at all.
On Goodjet’s website is mentioned today that they resumed flying, allthough limited. The first flight is operated by: Air Holland!

RE: Goodjet in trouble
The AW curse strikes again! Goodjet on the November issue,Delsey on the December. I think it should be Badjet now rather than Goodjet!
They are hoping to be back up flying by Monday with a new aircraft operator.
