All-business-class still alive

Even though Eos Airlines and MaxJet Airways have gone under, the all-business-class model still has legs as Silverjet, l’Avion and Lufthansa are out to prove. According to a report in The New York Times, Lufthansa plans to expand its own all-business-class service with new flights between Munich and Dubai starting May 1. In July if will fly between Frankfurt and Pune, a rapidly growing international business center in western India, the Times reports. Meanwhile, Silverjet is managing to hang in the niche as its round-trip fares total around $2,000 — well below competitors. l’Avion has targeted a New York-Paris route for its business-class offering. British Airways has targeted the route sometime this summer, the Times reports.
