(www.aopa.org) DayJet has grounded all but 12 of its 28 Eclipse 500 jets used in its Florida-based air taxi service and has laid off 100 of its 260 employees after failing to find an additional $40 million in operating capital this year.

The company will defer deliveries of what a spokeswoman termed “dozens” of new Eclipse 500 jets planned for this year. However, DayJet official Vicky Harris said that will result in other Eclipse customers moving up in the line ahead of DayJet and getting their aircraft sooner than expected. No deliveries to DayJet are anticipated for the rest of the year.
