Shares of its EUjet's parent company, PlaneStation, were suspended on the London stock market yesterday. The suspension came after PlaneStation's bankers said they were unable to support additional finance for EuJet, based at Kent International Airport at Manston.

Operating since September 2004, EuJet runs four Fokker 100 aircraft and flies to 18 destinations from Manston, including Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Manchester and Malaga in southern Spain.
