Silverjet Expanding Fleet, Routes

Silverjet, the all-biz carrier that not too long ago announced Dubai service, just inked a deal to acquire two more Boeing 767s. That'll take the fleet size up to five aircraft and hopefully put an end to its occasional scheduling troubles.

The new planes will of course have all the standard Silverjet** amenities like power outlets, individually served food and drink, lots of in-flight entertainment options and no more than 100 passengers per flight. (In November, about 55 percent of each flight's seats were filled, so there's plenty of space on board.)

With the new aircraft, Silverjet hopes to expand its route network beyond the current Newark-Luton and Luton-Dubai options. In view for the carrier are New Delhi, Johannesburg, Shanghai and Los Angeles. Also a possibility--and we're trying to figure this one out--is the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. Could Silverjet be a fan of Amazing Race?
