Indigo Corporate Jet Airline Ceases Flight Operations
On May 30, Indigo suddenly suspended its “corporate jet airline” service between Chicago Midway and New Jersey Teterboro Airports. Indigo chairman and CEO Peter Pappas did not return telephone calls seeking comment, but a message on the company’s Web site (www.flyindigo.com) states the airline “regrets any inconvenience this action may have caused for its passengers. Indigo is currently reorganizing its finances and operations and hopes to resume service in the future.” Just three months ago Indigo had resumed service with a 16-seat Embraer Legacy. The company originally launched service in February 2000 with a Falcon 20. Suspending its flights is welcome news to several local politicians and New Jersey Governor James McGreevey. These politicians have been involved in a well publicized campaign to block Indigo from using Teterboro, alleging that it violates the airport’s ban against scheduled operations. Indigo has always maintained that it’s not a scheduled airline, but a “regular and frequent public charter service.”
