This article documents a current event.Information may change rapidly as the event progresses. The page about this individual potential operator will be shifted to "current operators" as soon as it is confirmed that this operator is in fact using MD-80s.

Mit der Premjet wird möglicherweise ein neuer britischer Betreiber der MD-80 die Szenerie ergänzen. Ab London-Luton und Manchester sollen folgende Ziele bedient werden: Faro, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Teneriffa und Paphos. Außergewöhnlich mag sein, dass die eingesetzte MD-83 nur 80 Sitzplätze (mit einem Sitzabstand von 127 cm!) bieten wird und somit ein "Premiumprodukt" vermarktet werden soll. Ticketverläufe sollen Ende 2007 anlaufen, der Betrieb soll im Frühling 2008 aufgenommen werden.

Folgende Informationen bietet Premjet über die MD-83:

"In our selection of the Premjet aircraft we had four main criteria: safety, comfort, reliability and performance. The aircraft that matched our requirements was the Boeing/McDonnell-Douglas MD83.

This twin engined regional jet has an impeccable safety record, and our aircraft are British owned and registered with the Civil Aviation Authority. The maintenance on Premjet aircraft is carried out by one of the most respected airline management companies in the UK, and this gives us the confidence that our aircraft will always be available to carry out our schedule of flights without disruption to our passengers. The Boeing/McDonnell-Douglas MD83 is designed to carry up to 177 passengers in an economy-class layout. Premjet have removed over half of these seats to configure the aircraft in a VIP arrangement consisting of just 80 seats. The majority of scheduled airlines offer a seat pitch of between 29" and 33" (73cm and 83cm), with business class products on European routes offering up to 37" (94cm) The Premjet experience will offer leather upholstered seats with extending leg rests and a minimum seat pitch of 50" (127cm) putting us and our customers a class apart from other European airline travel.  A fast, comfortable jet, the MD83 has the advantage of having its engined mounted on the rear of the fuselage, which makes for a more comfortable and quieter journey for those passengers seated aft of the wing

As an airline we take our responsibility for care of the environment seriously, and we are in the process of implementing strategies that will result in a carbon-neutral policy across our fleet." Courtesy: Premjet

Und so beschreibt sich Premjet selber:

The founder and directors of Premjet have been working on the concept of premium short haul air travel since early 2002.

The Premjet Board of Directors have decades of experience in the commercial airline industry, and we are confident that through this experience we can change the European air travel by offering a level of service that has never been offered before on the shorter haul routes. Above all we are immensely passionate about the quality of our product and customer service, and we aim to offer these at a level unobtainable from any other European airline. We will be implemeting many exciting and innovative products over the coming months that are designed to enhance your travelling experience from start to finish.
