Silverjet aims for three New York flights a day
New all business class airline Silverjet is to launch its second daily Luton-Newark flight in July.
The date emerged as the airline was set to make its debut on the route today. Silverjet aims to be running three flights a day by the end of the year.
Chief executive Lawrence Hunt said: “At the time of our IPO, we made a commitment to our investors to launch Silverjet within nine months – we are immensely proud to have achieved this.
“With the creation of Silverjet, we make a simple commitment to our customers – to constantly challenge the airline status quo, to do things differently from the competition and to quickly react to their feedback.
“By offering our customers a fantastic, exclusively business class product from £999 return compared to an average of £3,000 from competitors, we will create a whole new breed of low fare luxury travel.
“Looking forward, we will launch our second daily London Luton to New York Newark flight in July this year and we are currently investigating further long-haul route opportunities. By the end of the year, we hope to be operating a three times per day service to New York.”
