JetMagic was an Irish airline that operated between 2003 and 2004. It offered high-service flights aimed at business travelers, but at only a slight premium above the economy class rates. JetMagic sold itself on high quality and extra touches, like offering a free newspaper to all passengers.
After an initial period with poor load factors, JetMagic increased its market share and offered routes that no other airline offered at the time, including from Cork International Airport to Edinburgh Airport and Belfast City Airport. Both routes have since been taken up by Aer Arann.
JetMagic unexpectedly ceased to operate on January 28th 2004 after one of its planes was impounded by Aer Rianta for failure to pay landing fees. The airline indefinitely suspended operations, and many passengers were left out-of-pocket for the cost of their tickets. Indeed, JetMagic had still been accepting bookings up until around 30 minutes before the news of its folding broke.
JetMagic's customer service desk at Cork Airport remained unoccupied since then, and it is of course absent from the new terminal.
