The airborne terror alert that crippled Britain’s major airports has proved to be an unexpected boon for all-frills airlines and charter services shuttling from Britain to the United States and Europe.

While budget and mainstream airlines counted their losses and pondered who to sue for the loss of business Friday, high-end and charter carriers tallied up the number of new customers since the alert on Aug. 10.

“When the bigger system is under stress and is breaking down, we are continuing to deliver,” said David Spurlock, the founder of Eos Airlines, a business-class only trans-Atlantic carrier.

Business travelers in particular have been attracted to luxury carriers that fly out of smaller British airports — avoiding long security lines at the major terminals — and that offer planes with onboard services that many mainstream airlines cannot rival.

New airlines running the premium service London-New York shuttle at a discounted price believe they can capitalize on the current increased interest and win long-term customers.

We knew it wouldn't affect the aristocracy while the peons will suffer the insanity Bush and the poodle have created.
