株 in the Luton-based 航空機による were 一時停止するd at 25p today after it 認める it had not received the Arab money it was 約束d in a 救助(する) refinancing earlier this month.

The 運送/保菌者, which has been 飛行機で行くing 100-seater flat-bed 商売/仕事 class 航空機 between London and New York for the past 16 months and to Dubai for the past six months, said it needs a cash 注射 'as a 事柄 of 緊急'.

The 失敗 of Silverjet would put an end to the 勇敢に立ち向かう but ill-starred 試みる/企てる by three start-up 運送/保菌者s to break the model of transatlantic 空気/公表する travel by 飛行機で行くing 商売/仕事 class-only 計画(する)s.

Stansted-based MaxJet - which like Silverjet 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金d 乗客s around £1000 return - went 破産した/(警察が)手入れする on Christmas Eve after over-拡大するing to several 部隊d 明言する/公表するs 目的地s, while Eos 崩壊(する)d at the end of last month after failing to attract enough punters to its 48-seater 航空機 非難する more than £2500 a time.

危機 is enveloping the 航空機による 産業. British 航空路s 示すd last week that 記録,記録的な/記録する high 燃料 prices are likely to all but wipe out its 利益(をあげる)s in the 現在の 財政上の year and that it will be の近くにing 大勝するs from the winter on the 支援する of 落ちるing numbers of long-運ぶ/漁獲高 economyclass 乗客s. BA's の近くに 同盟(する) American 航空機によるs said it is already laying off staff.

株 in easyJet and Ryanair have also 急落するd on the 支援する of hefty, 燃料-関係のある 利益(をあげる) 警告s and 恐れるs that their low-cost, low-fare 商売/仕事 models are creaking under the 負わせる of oil at $135 a バーレル/樽.

In the 事例/患者 of Silverjet, floated at 112p in May 2006, rising 燃料 costs have seen the 航空機による all but run out of money. Followingthe 失敗 to 説得する the 億万長者 所有物/資産/財産 developing Reuben brothers to up their £10m 投資 and 救助(する) the 航空機による, Silverjet said three weeks ago that a 隠しだてする 部隊d Arab E mirates 君主 wealth 基金 Viceroy Holdings had agreed to 供給する $25m (£12.5m) of 財政/金融 in return for 28% of the 航空機による.

Today Silverjet was 軍隊d to 収容する/認める that it had not received the money. Sources said Viceroy had not walked away from the 取引,協定 but that the money was not 利用できる on the 現在の 条件.

Broking house Daniel Stewart, which for some time has been 公然と 疑問ing Silverjet's (人命などを)奪う,主張するs to be a viable 商売/仕事, said: 'We consider it very ありそうもない Silverjet's 株 will 回復する a 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる)ing.

'The meteoric rise in the oil price has 追加するd その上の 悲惨. We now 見積(る) it costs over £44,000 in 燃料 alone for a 一連の会議、交渉/完成する trip to New York, up from £28,600 in November.

'Against this background we do not think anyone will 企て,努力,提案 and that for Silverjet to 生き残る, 現在の 株主s will need to 注入する large 量s of fresh 公正,普通株主権.'

A 広報担当者 for Silverjet said the 航空機による is operating as normal today: 'We are 飛行機で行くing today and we are still taking bookings.'
