Silverjet gains US approvals
All-business class start-up Silverjet has received approval from US authorities to enable it to start taking bookings in America.
The UK transatlantic carrier aims to take off with £799 lead-in flights between Luton and Newark on January 25.
Silverjet said it had been granted the necessary licences by the US Department of Transportation.
Chief executive Lawrence Hunt said: “We are now set for our first London-New York flight on 25 January next year.
“Transatlantic passengers can look forward to an outstanding business class service at unbeatable value for money.
“Flying with Silverjet will mean that you can turn up at a private jet terminal just 30 minutes before your flight, sleep in a luxury award winning flat bed and choose what you want to eat when you want to eat it. We will treat our customers to a truly premium in-flight service by cabin crew who are focused on delivering service to our customers.”
