Silverjet was a British all-business class airline headquartered at London Luton Airport, Luton, Bedfordshire, England, that, prior to the suspension of operations on 30 May 2008, operated services to Newark Liberty International Airport and Dubai International Airport. A proposed rescue package fell through on 13 June when staff were laid off and it was announced that the airline's assets would be sold.
Silverjet Aviation Limited was created in 2004 by Lawrence Hunt. Prior to launch, the airline secured sufficient funding to begin trading on the AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange, and joined the AIM on 12 May 2006. The airline secured two Boeing 767-200 aircraft in August 2006 that were previously operated by Thomsonfly. These were delivered in March 2007 and October 2007 and were Silverjet's launch aircraft. With the acquisition of British Charter Flyjet in October 2006, Silverjet took ownership of their two Boeing 757 and one Boeing 767 aircraft. This also provided Silverjet with Flyjet’s Air Operator’s Certificate, Operating Licence and a worldwide Route Licence.
Silver Jet was a SoCal powerpop band consisting of Luke Tierney on vocals and guitar, Jeff Gross on bass and vocals, and Grant Conway on drums and vocals. The band's debut album Pull Me Up...Drag Me Down was produced by Tim Palmer who also produced Sponge.
Silver Jet held a one-night reunion with the entire original line-up on April 9, 2010 at 3Clubs in Hollywood. Video of the songs "Kid" and "Neverman" that were played during the set are available for viewing on YouTube.
