Following the progress of new airlines that start out small is one of the more enjoyable aspects of this reporter's job. We report in a print story this morning on one that some Philadelphia-area residents may find useful, a new all-business class airline that fles between Newark and London Luton Airport. Silverjet has just one airplane, and it's in a high-risk competitive game, but watch for it to grow. Of particular interest are the business class fares on Silverjet, compared with what a coach ticket to London costs. Learn more about Silverjet here.
