250 jobs face axe as EUjet ceases flying

UP to 250 jobs are set to go at Shannon and Kent in England after budget airline EUjet stopped flying yesterday.

The news came after the collapse of Planestation, the British airport operator that took over the airline last year.

Staff at the airline, which was set up by former Ryanair chief executive PJ McGoldrick, were told an administrator would be appointed who would tryto sell the company and its assets.
