Can an airline ever realistically hope to match the level of service and intimate environment a private jet offers? Silverjet Aviation thinks it can, and in January it launched what it calls Silver Service between London and New York with a dramatically modified Boeing 767-200. It might not be a private jet, but in terms of cabin comfort and amenities, it isn’t far from it, and on price it’s more than competitive.

There are one hundred 6-foot 3-inch-long flatbed seats, a wide choice of classic and newly released on-demand movies, noise-canceling headsets, pre-ordered special meals, electrical outlets at each seat, one flight attendant per 10 passengers, a women-only lavatory and chauffeured ground transportation.
