MAXjet Airways, the industry’s first low-fare, all-business class transatlantic airline, has confirmed there is no truth in the report that Indian carrier Kingfisher Airlines International is in advanced talks with MAXjet for an outright acquisition. The unfounded report was published on July 21 by IST Times News Network, dateline New Delhi.

“The article printed in the Times of India business section on July 21 is unfounded,” said MAXjet CEO Gary Rogliano. “We never were, and currently are not, in any such discussions to sell MAXjet.”

MAXjet Airways currently flies six times weekly from New York JFK to London Stansted and five times weekly from Washington Dulles to London Stansted. The airline recently acquired its third aircraft and is currently negotiating for its fourth and fifth as it continues its commitment to bring lower business class transatlantic fares to a broader segment of key business cites across the U.S. The new aircraft will allow increased frequencies on existing routes as well as development of new service.

About MAXjet Airways

Washington-Dulles-based MAXjet is a low-fare all-business-class transatlantic airline dedicated to bringing greater value to the intercontinental market by connecting key business cities with a high-quality, low-fare business-class product. MAXjet operates Boeing 767s configured with just 102 deep-reclining spacious seats with 60-inch pitch. The extra space greatly increases legroom for each of its passengers who may select either a window or aisle, as there are no middle seats. The airline offers low fares, even for last-minute passengers. Service includes business class leather seats and the traditional amenities of the largest carriers, such as pre-departure beverages, multi-course meals, a Chef’s Pantry, premium liquor, boutique wines, travel amenities, duty free and much more.

In February 2006, MAXjet launched its customer appreciation program called MAXflier, a simple customer-friendly loyalty scheme for MAXjet customers who choose to fly regularly with the airline. Customers who have ‘banked’ enough currency will be able to obtain a free flight. There are no blackout dates, no Saturday night stay requirement or any other limitations often attached to other reward travel. Further details can be obtained at www.maxjet.com.
