The demise of business class only airline MaxJet has seen attention shift to the remaining all business class airlines operating to and from London: Silverjet and EOS.

Now following Silverjet, EOS the best of the two, is expanding to Dubai. EOS flies from Stansted, whilst Silverjet flies from Luton. However, both now offer compelling alternatives to BA, Virgin Atlantic and Emirates, and both are battling for a market that may only sustain one. Silverjet has 100 seats on a 767, all of an angled lie flat design (similar to what Lufthansa, Air France and Qantas currently use) in a 2-2-2 configuration (like most airlines in business class on a 767). BA’s 767s typically have 180 seats.

EOS has only 48 seats on a 757, in a 2-2 configuration. Continental Airlines long haul 757s typically have 175 seats. EOS has fully lie flat seats, closer in design to the BA, and new generation United Airlines business class lie flat beds.

Hopefully both will survive, as both offer something easier and faster than what the big carriers offer from Heathrow
