MAXjet to serve LA
All business class carrier MAXjet is to fly to the US west coast from Stansted for the first time with the start of a Los Angeles service.
MAXjet is evaluating new transatlantic routes that could be added to the airline’s route network this autumn or winter.
The airline will initially run four flights a week to LA from August 30 with fares starting at £349 one-way. The service will operate on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Frequencies to Las Vegas and Washington from Stansted are also to be increased. Las Vegas will have a fourth weekly flight on Sundays from September 2 while a seasonal Washington service, which resume on May 24, will operate year-round with four flights a week.
The transatlantic services, which include six flights a week to New York, are operated by Boeing 767s configured with deep-recline leather seats and 60-inch seat pitch.
CEO Bill Stockbridge said: “Our high load factors are pushing us not only to expand the airline, but also to expand frequencies from existing destinations as well. Our business model is continuing to win over new customers every day.
“Unlike other all-business-class airlines, we connect London with key cities across the United States, and Los Angeles is a natural match for our high-comfort, high-value service.”
