So a quick search about MAXJet will uncover the other articles that I’ve written about MAXJet. The irony is that the airline that offered a similar service, like MAXJet, has now gone belly-up as well.

Eos flew 48 seat 757s between JFK in New York and Stanstead, near London, England. The idea of a business class service was a good idea that got slaughtered by dead dinosaurs who latter turned into aviation fuel.

April 26, 2008

To Our Valued Guests,

The relationship we have is very special. You have shown a true appreciation for the commitment and service that defines Eos Class and it has always been our pleasure to deliver Eos Class service to you. The sense of camaraderie and level of engagement we’ve developed together transcends the traditional airline space.

Our unique relationship makes it all the more difficult to share with you the news that Eos has filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. On April 26, 2008, we plan to operate Flight 6 (8:30pm) from JFK to STN. On April 27, 2008, we plan to operate Flights 3 (1:00pm) and 7 (6:30pm) from STN to JFK. Flight 5 from STN to JFK and all flights from JFK to STN on April 27, 2008 are canceled. We will cease operations entirely after April 27, 2008.

This announcement is particularly regrettable since we have achieved so much, including having a term sheet in hand for additional financing. Clearly, even in today’s challenging economic and credit environment, investors believe in Eos. Unfortunately, some issues arose that prevented the parties from moving forward.

We sincerely apologize to those of you who have travel planned in the days ahead. Eos Guests should seek alternative arrangements for travel and should contact their credit card companies or travel agents directly for information about how to obtain a refund for unused tickets.

For our Club 48 members, unfortunately, in the face of this bankruptcy filing, you will no longer be able to redeem your points for rewards. Any value related to your membership will be determined by the court as part of the bankruptcy process.

So having run through this same situation before, just pray that you purchased any future tickets with a credit card, and not a debit card. If you used a credit card, immediately file a claim to have the charge reversed by contacting your credit card company. They’ll probably ask you to fill out a form or two but you’ll get the charge wiped out.

If you paid with a debit card and the money was already taken from your bank account, you are now an unsecured creditor with little hope of getting your money back. If you want to file a claim against the remaining assets for compensation. Visit this link.

It just looks like Eos had a chance to keep flying but could not secure the next round of financing, just like MAXJet.

Another one bites the dust.

If the trend continues, the next to fall will be Silverjet, an airline that offers a similar service as MAXJet and Eos.
