Business class operator, Maxjet, is to start London-Los Angeles services, as well as add frequency to its existing Las Vegas and Washington destinations as it ups routes from its London Stansted base.
The carrier will launch four-times weekly flights to Los Angeles from 30 August this year ” the airline”s first west coast operation ” using Boeing 767 aircraft.
”Our high load factors are pushing us not only to expand the airline, but also to expand frequencies from existing destinations as well,” said Maxjet CEO, Bill Stockbridge. ”Our business model is continuing to win new customers.
”Unlike other all-business class airlines, we connect London with key cities across the US and Los Angeles is a natural match for our high comfort, high value service.”
Flights will initially operate on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, with further transatlantic services currently being evaluated, such as San Jose, Miami and Orlando.
The airline will add a new Sunday rotation between Stansted and Las Vegas McCarran from 2 September, in addition to the current Monday, Thursday and Saturday operations, while flights to Washington Dulles will resume on 24 May after a seasonal break and will now become year-round. There is no change to the existing New York JFK service.
