Hello all,
I have looked at LY website and found that on some of its code-share flights with VV, the latter is going to use an A320 in addition to the regular 737-400. The service with these planes starts on October 30th, flight LY8815 TLV-ODS.
I couldn't find anything on VV website.

Is it true, or maybe a typo on behalf of LY?
If true, will it be leased or owned equipment?
What will be the config?

Thanks,

An225

Could be related to the strategic alliance between Aerosvit and Donbassaero. Donbassaero do have A320s

Quoting N14AZ (Reply 1):
Could be related to the merger of Aerosvit and Donbassaero. Donbassaero do have A320s

Might be. After I wrote this post a friend of mine said that the A320 already serves the ODS/DNK-TLV routes and is painted with Donbasaeros c/s. So maybe this is the answer to my Q.
The point is that VV website mentions a plan to switch to new equipment during 2009. Maybe this relates to the new equipment serving TLV?
