We are sad to announce that our very first flight, StarJet 097 from London to Paris, has crashed in the Thames, near Canary Wharf, UK after takeoff from LCY.

The flight, operated by Fokker 130NG G-REAT, suffered birdstrike and lost both engines. Brave attempts by the professional pilots to land the bird back to LCY proved futile, as the plane flies too low above the Thames, and struck a ferry some hundred metres south of LCY and breaks apart.
Our hearts were with the family and relatives of the 95 victims, and we’re mourning with them. For this tragedy, StarJet Airways will stop flying for a week after the British Ministry of Transport recommend a grounding of our fleet. For our loyal customer, we assure that StarJet will fly again soon.
