  Silverjet - LBC, Suspending operation with immediate effect ?

Hello

Just heard on LBC that Silverjet decided to suspend operations with immediate effect.
I cannot find those the confirmation on any websites: FT, BBC, Reuters or bloomberg...

Last week, shares were suspended.

So...shall we all put the banners down ?

BBC Breakfast said that they have suspended operations as finance could not be sought. Apparently two other business class only firms also collapsed recently.

Looks like the company has no cash reserves if its telling people to seek credit card refunds. Get your campaigns switched over ASAP and if you have silverjet related domains then get some emergency help on there with alternative carriers (as long as you can drop an aff link

yoinks that's a shame

Although we'd better get used to airlines folding methinks, the way fuel prices are going the average person isn't going to be traveling quite so much as they had been over the last 5/10 years

The main carriers are already seriously making/planning moves to beef up their business/first class service levels as they know those that HAVE to fly can be milked and will probably end up being a majority of their business in future compared to those that merely WANT to fly.

Hi everyone,

I've just posted on this on the CJ forum: Silverjet Closure

I think it is fair to say with fuel prices rising it could be challenging times for smaller airlines. However, for larger carriers, we are confident that they have to scale to adjust to these changes.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you,

Virgin have already offered Silverjet customers cheap tickets - Upper Class rate of £759 one-way for Dubai tickets and £899 for New York tickets.

I suspect those prices were carefully calculated last week when the shares were suspended, ready for the media machine to publicise them today.
