Airline Report: News Round-Up, Birthday Edition
· Silverjet, the all-business class transatlantic carrier that serves Newark and London-Luton (as opposed to JFK and London-Stansted), took off yesterday. Firsthand opinions will probably star rolling in next week. For now you can check out some multimedia goodness, including a video tour of a Silverjet cabin, here--the plane innards debut at the 3:00 minute mark in the video.
· Sky Express, Russia's "first budget airline," is set to make its inaugural flight on Monday. Sky Express, the venture of KrasAir director Boris Abramovich, currently flies two 737s out of its hub at Moscow-Vnukovo.
· Lufthansa is offering a mileage bonus to doctors who fly with them. Just in case their notoriously lousy economy seats make you sick.
· An Air New Zealand passenger was the first to narc out Jaguar Distribution (an airline movie distributor) for censoring the word "god" out of The Queen. If you watch "opinion news," you'll probably be hearing about this well into the weekend.
