                         LAUNCH OF LOS ANGELES SERVICE                          

 

 

MAXjet Airways, Inc ("MAXjet" or the "Company"), the low-fare, all-business
class airline flying between the UK and US, announced today its first flight
between London and Los Angeles. This will be MAXjet's fourth US service from
London, extending its reach to the West Coast.

 

The new service to Los Angeles will initially operate four times a week. MAXjet
will operate from the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at Los Angeles
International (LAX). The following information below highlights the flight
schedule between London and Los Angeles:

 

LONDON TO LOS ANGELES

MY311 0930-1300 Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday

 

LOS ANGELES TO LONDON

MY310 1700-1200 Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday

 

This latest service reflects MAXjet's strategy of serving points across the
United States from London with routes to New York, Washington and Las Vegas
already established. In addition, the Company's fourth service to Las Vegas will
start on 2 September 2007. In September, 34% of MAXjet's scheduled flights will
be between London and New York while 22% of flights will be to each of
Washington, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

 

Commenting on the launch of the new service, Bill Stockbridge, CEO, said:

 

"The launch of our new service to Los Angeles highlights the growing number of
our destinations in the U.S. MAXjet now operates more routes to major U.S.
cities than any other all-business class operator. The latest route will enable
our passengers to fly non-stop to the West Coast of America providing even
greater onward connectivity to points across the western seaboard and
internationally."
