MAXjet Airways, Inc. ("MAXjet") has
begun the final phase of FAA's certification process that leads to
issuance of an Air Carrier Operating Certificate. Proving runs
began on July 22. After a series of flights to London-Stansted
Airport and to selected domestic destinations, MAXjet will complete
all the requirements for FAA certification.
MAXjet plans to begin commercial operations upon completing FAA
certification and the issuance of an effective DOT
certificate. Charter operations will commence immediately.
Scheduled passenger service will begin later this year with flights
initially planned between New York's John F. Kennedy Airport and
London's Stansted Airport.
Gary Rogliano, Chief Executive Officer of the MAXjet commented,
"Completing certification is a significant accomplishment. MAXjet
will be the first international scheduled passenger carrier
certificated since September 11, 2001. I want to congratulate all
of our employees for this accomplishment and completing this major
first step in launching a successful airline. In addition, I want
to thank Nick Scarpinato, Jr., FAA Manager of the Washington Flight
Standards District Office, and all the FAA staff for their
professionalism and guidance in this thorough and rigorous
certification process. We are all very excited about the launch of
the airline."
MAXjet has assembled an experienced management team, sourced
widebody aircraft, and trained its flight and cabin crews. MAXjet
has pursued DOT approval in parallel with the FAA certification,
earning its Final Order from the DOT in March 2005. DOT has granted
provisional approval for MAXjet to operate to over fifteen
international countries.
MAXjet is based at Washington Dulles Airport with operational
facilities at both New York's JFK Airport and London's Stansted
Airport. MAXjet Airways will operate both charter and scheduled
service initially using Boeing 767 aircraft.
The airline plans to announce routes, fares and schedules after
final government approvals are received (expected in the next few
weeks), at which time passenger bookings will begin. Founded in
2003, MAXjet was formerly known as SkyLink Airways and unveiled its
new name in April 2005.
