Re: MaxJet Shares Suspended
Better get as many pictures of those planes while you can because I'd bet after this announcement they won't be around to much longer.
Re: MaxJet Shares Suspended
how full were thier flights? i've always wondered why people tried doing this with airplanes like the 757 and 767. seriously, you have to sell a lot of seats to get that thing to make money. did they flight they operated even arrive at times that would make for good connections?
personally, i think that privatair had it right. they operate BBJs and ACJs configured into a F class cabin and codeshare with major, established airlines. i'd much rather fly them on a smaller airplane than MAXjet or EOS.

These carriers make more money by what they carry in the belly (freight), their load factor was pretty good, but if they could not attact some freight or lost a contract, that could hurt their fiances.
Carriers like EOS, MaxJet, Silverjet, would have lots of room on the main cabin for people to carry their luggage on-board, leaving the belly available for freight.....

Also keep in mind that Eos is doing pretty well.

We probably won't see any, things like that are handle by sales.
The airlines carry plenty of freight in the belly, sometimes, on special flights, luggage is bumped to take care of the freight.....
Re: MaxJet Shares Suspended
Maxjet never has much freight.... Maybe between 1000 and 5000kg a few times a month
