A discussion about the airline industry, airline employees, and all things related

Hopefully your holidays are going well; unfortunately for many MAXjet passengers that story is not going to ring true.  On December 24, 2007, the day before Christmas, MAXjet grounded all planes and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  The airline has cited rising fuel costs and the inability to secure additional funds as the reason. 

On the airline’s website, the airline’s President and CEO W. Stockbridge, said, “With today’s fuel prices and the resulting impact on the credit climate for airlines, we are forced to take this drastic measure.” 

They certainly did take a drastic measure, chapter 11 bankruptcy.  The airline has secured 500 seats on EOS and 450 rooms in London, New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, the markets the airline served. 

If you have not started travel on MAXjet, you can secure a refund from your point of purchase, most likely the credit card company.  If you have started travel, you will be contacted by the airline about your new itineraries.
