                              MAXJET AIRWAYS INC.
                          ("MAXjet" or the "Company")

                Update on bankruptcy procedures and asset sales

On 24 December 2007 MAXjet filed for protection under title 11 of the United
States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). The Company discontinued scheduled all
Business Class flight operations and petitioned the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to set
procedures to sell the business.

On 1 February 2008 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved Bidding Procedures in
connection with the sale of the Company's business. In accordance with the
Bidding Procedures, the timetable for the auction of assets may be cancelled or
rescheduled for a later time by the Company. The Company will determine, in
consultation with the Creditors Committee, which proposal received is the
highest and best.

The timetable for sale of assets is currently scheduled as follows.

     8 February 2008

     Interested bidders must identify themselves through written notice by 
     5:30pm Eastern Time. Bidders must meet qualification requirements including 
     signing confidentiality agreements, financial resources and other criteria 
     as contained in the Bidding Procedures. Once these conditions are met 
     potential buyers may submit a written offer to purchase some or all of the 
     Company's business assets (a "Qualified Bid").

     13 February 2008

     Qualified Bids are due by 5:00pm Eastern Time. If a Qualified Bid is 
     received that is selected by the Company, in consultation with the 
     Creditors Committee, as the winning bid, after the conclusions of 
     negotiations the Company will file an Approval Motion with the Bankruptcy 
     Court to consummate the sale to the Purchaser. The Company will report the 
     Court's ruling on any Approval Motion filed.

     20 February 2008

     If a Final Auction is required to determine the winning Qualified Bid, it 
     will be held at the law offices of Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP in 
     Wilmington, Delaware, USA at 1:00pm Eastern Time.

The Company's ability to transfer its certificates authorizing scheduled and
charter flight operations will be subject to approval by certain government
agencies. Transfer of economic authority granted by the Company's Certificates
of Public Convenience and Necessity are subject to United States Department of
Transportation approval under 49 U.S.C. (S)41105. Operating authority granted by
the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration Air Carrier Certificate is
non-transferable as an independent asset and is specific to the Company's
particular operations, personnel and manuals. Depending on the nature of the
ultimate transaction between the Company and the Purchaser, re-issuance of the
FAA Air Carrier Certificate may or may not be necessary.

The Company is currently exploring a variety of options, including plans that
could result in emergence from Chapter 11. The Company will continue to consider
these options through the close of the auction. The Company expects that if an
auction is held, all proceeds from the sale of assets will be for the benefit of
creditors and that no proceeds will be distributed to shareholders.

Bankruptcy Court online system. MAXjet case materials are listed under docket 
07-11912.

Stockbridge, at bstockbridge@maxjet.com.
