Anyone know the situation regarding Flyjets charter operations since sale to Silverjet.

I think there only big delay at NCL last year was when AB i think diverted into gatwick on a postioning flight with some sort of problem and a tristar had to come cover.

IMHO Flyjet have done extremely well, considering the negativity. Despite still being near the bottom of ontime league tables, their delays at NCL were minimal with the majority of flights leaving ontime or within 15 minutes! Pax reactions, according to reviews were very good. Shame to see them go, but I do think FJE will live on under the Silverjet banner, even if it won’t be at NCL.
They will however, maintain their summer programme this year, and infact ground staff have said they will be recruiting further staff.

I was just about to say for all there mis givings last year they have done really well out of NCL.

Yes I believe that Flyjets 2 757 are being returned to lessors towards the end of this year, which leaves 2 options for the company.
1. They abandon their charter activities or
2. they get more aircraft and try and establish a reputation in the charter industry.
Don’t think anyone knows really whats happening, though I see that FJE flights for next winter at NCL are now pre-fixed with XL Airways flight numbers, shame if they disappear from NCL!

(If link isn’t allowed – Last paragraph states…)
As part of the Silverjet plc group, Flyjet intends to estalish itself as the UK’s leading independent charter airline and we need people wiliing to play any active role in its development.
So maybe there is hope?

But Grey Area, what about the hundreds of offs instead of of. And the worst,
there, instead of their. The grammar on one particular spotters site is embarrassing.Nobody points it out so we have more and more primitive postings.Foreigners spell better than the natives.
Is natives correct?
:rolleyes: He’s talking about Oasis747 and BY767, not Tommyinyork.

That’ll be the end of the grammar lessons, thank you very much.

Thats not true. They used them for there AOC as well.
No silverjet are a scheduled buisness airline across the atlantic.
And it is “are not”, not aint.:p
…and it’s ‘their‘ not ‘there’ also ‘Thats’ should be ‘That’s‘ and it’s ‘Atlantic’ not ‘atlantic’. ‘Silverjet’ comes with a capital ‘S’, and finally it’s ‘business‘! :p
Sincere apologies for being pedantic! :rolleyes:

No, there is a difference between the two classes
By: tommyinyork - 21st January 2007 at 17:30
Hope Silverjet suceed i wouldnt mind flying with them.
Isn’t business class just another name for first class.
By: Oasis747 - 21st January 2007 at 16:23
SilverJet only bought flyjet to get there hands on there 767.
