Frontier filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week in the States. (You were right John)

Alaska Airlines 737 landed with smoke in the cabin at Seattle/Tacoma airport. Pilot deployed chutes on the runway (after the plane had stopped). No serious injuries reported.

J.A.L. is the 4th carrier to admit it was part of a Global Cartel that fixed air cargo prices and was fined US $4117million.

Iceland Express to commence service from Gatwick to Reykjavik on Sept 8th after BA pulled out recently.

Monarch will resume service between Manchester and Gibraltar with a 3 times a week service starting 12th Sept 2008 after a 2 year break.

sorry about your job loss,
in an earlier post someone said that Jet2 have got a difficult year ahead, whats been happening/happened to them recently.

I read that throughout the winter season some flights have been cut back in frequencey but nothing else much has been said about them.

Well jet2 have been reported to have made quite a few losses on routes, which are making them pull most of the fleet back to leeds and axe routes at other airports. Now they are taking the commission away from cabin crew which will result them in having a less paypacket. They could have anywhere around �500 extra in summer via drink/snack/gift sales. Most crew are incredibly unhappy, and a strike is rumoured but probably wont happen.

Another airline gone, this time EOS airlines, when will this all end.

shame really as they had possibly a good concept if it had taken off, but like Maxjet theve gone bust.

This only leaves silverjet as a business class only airline now, will they go bust as well or hopefully with they break into profit and make a go of things.
