MAXjet to re-launch as luxury charter carrier

In December of 2007, MAXjet Airways, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and ceased operations. MAXjet had been flying between London Stansted and several cities in the U.S., operating a fleet of Boeing 767 aircraft in an all-business class configuration. Now MAXjet is returning to the air as a luxury charter carrier.

A U.S. bankruptcy court recently approved the sale of MAXjet's assets to a unit of NCA Sports Group, which operates charter flights for college and professional sports teams. In a message posted on the MAXjet website, NCA Sports Group CEO, Kevin Clark, said, "I am looking forward to adding MAXjet to the NCA Sports Group family. In its 2+ years of operation, MAXjet offered travelers from 67 countries around the globe award-winning service. We believe that it's time for a smart luxury charter service that combines comfort, value and flexibility."
