Eos, the all first-class super luxury challenger in the New York/London market, may be winning headlines with its 18 October launch, but its rival, MAXjet Airways, is sticking to its schedule to begin service 1 November on that route.
MAXjet, started by industry veterans including Shepherd System travel-services founder Mike Malik, plans a slightly less utopian super-business class atmosphere at business-plus fares; it too will fly between JFK and Stansted airport. Now MAXjet has added two B767s to its fleet with a signed lease for one, which will be its second aircraft, and a letter of intent for its third aircraft. MAXjet chief executive Gary Rogliano says it will use the added capacity either for three daily transatlantic flights or a second daily transatlantic flight plus a new charter operation.
