We’re sad to report that Air Comet has ceased operations–and being days before Christmas, has stranded some 7,000 passengers across Spain and Latin America when available capacity on other carriers is hard to come by. Air Comet–formerly Air Plus Comet–has been struggling financially and a British repossession order on December 18th on behalf German creditor Nordbank seized some of the Air Comet’s aircraft for non-payment, dealing the airline mostly likely its final blow.
One of our loyal readers wrote to us, reflecting on his fond memories of the airline:
an awesome airline — i remember showing up 25 minutes before the flight, paying cash (the only thing they took), and flying to madrid for less than 50% of what everyone else was charging…in high season. and the crew was nice, the plane a classic 1972 boeing luxury liner…RIP
Farewell, Air Comet…
