Eos: Another Airline Bites the Dust

Filed under: Airlines — Rick Seaney @ 8:46 am

As of today, the all business-class airline eos has shut down (and thanks to Joe Brancatelli of JoeSentMe for alerting us). Its last flights were over the weekend.

This is the second such airline to fold in the past several months (the other was Maxjet, in late 2007).

Eos flew between New York to London (Stansted); if you have tickets, contact your credit card company immediately.

  1. this comfirms my suspicion that biz class is subsidized by coach class and its meager perks (at least for a large chunk of the year).

  2. Bryan,

    This is a well known observation. So much so that it’s included in most textbooks on airline economics.
