SilverJet Throws In The Towel

Along with the wings and the engines.

This morning Silverjet, the last remaining business niche trans-Atlantic airline, shut the doors.

You may recall that the airline, which halted trading in its shares on the London Alternative Stock Market a little over a week ago, claimed earlier in the month that it was going to receive another $100 million in capital from Viceroy Holdings, LLC., based in the U.A.E.

Apparently the money never came, and this morning the airline announced it was ceasing operations. Its Dubai-London flight Friday morning was it's last.
