Silverjet Ceases Flights From Luton

Luton based Silverjet ceases flights

Business carrier Silverjet has ceased flights after failing to secure extra funding.

The airline operated exclusively business class long-haul flights between Luton Airport and New York Newark and Dubai.

Silverjet's share were suspended on the 23rd of May when the airline announced that its inability to secure much needed funds had failed and working capital was required as a matter of urgency.

When the airline did not receive any further funds,
the Board of Silverjet took the decision to suspend operations with immediate effect.

The last service of Silverjet was the flight
from Dubai to London Luton, which departed at 7.30am on the 30th of May.

Customers who have tickets have been asked to make alternative arrangements to complete their journeys and to seek refunds of unused segments of tickets from the point of
purchase (ie credit card or travel agency).
