Silverjet

On 30th May 2008, the airline announced it was ceasing to trade and would no longer operate any flights.

Silverjet was relatively unique in that it operated business class only on its flights and at Luton and Dubai had a private terminal for its passengers. At Newark it operated a private check-in area in the arrivals area. The private terminal offered showers, food, drink, free internet access and a high level of luxury and comfort.

Alternatives

Other airlines which fly the London to New York or London to Dubai routes and provide business class include:

• British Airways
• Singapore Airlines
• Emirates
• Virgin Atlantic
