Silverjet's expanding route network

Back in April, we reported on a startup airline, Silverjet, that has all-business class service between Newark and London. We featured it because it's the only one of this new breed of carrier, offering premium seating and service at a lower fare than the major carriers in business class, that flies to London from Newark. Most PHL-based travelers are unlikely to schlep to Kennedy to catch one of the other new ones. Now Silverjet says it's been successful enough that it's adding a second roundtrip daily between Newark and its base at London Luton Airport, starting Sunday, and a new route, London to Dubai, in November. Silverjet says the daily roundtrips to one of the Middle East's fastest-growing areas are the first service by one of the all-business class airlines beyond trans-Atlantic routes.
