Jesus Christ. My heart stopped for a second when I saw this topic.

When will they resume their service to MAN (hopefully using the A310s)? Or are we going to have to wait for the bilateral to be torn up in favour of "open skies"?

>*whew* I almost thought for a minute there that AI demoted itself to flying A340s.
Don't be childish! Trust the merits of the 777 (a very fine plane unfortunately),
and the arm-twisting ability of the US administration. Don't you watch the news?
