When will airlines get creative and use names that aren't Air-______ or _____-Air/Airlines??
It just seems like when a new airline comes along they pick a random word and put "air" before or after that word... Clickair?
I can probably count on one hand the names of airlines that have thought of something out of the norm

I like the scheme, but have a question: Are the a/c getting new interior?

I'm surprised Mexicana hasn't raised a fuss over the name since they had it first. I know I know, different country, continent and wording. But still. Not very imaginitive I agree. It could be worse, it could be "Viva! Aerobus".

Quoting AirbusA346 (Reply 11): Why did they use to register there aircraft that way??
It seems to be what happens to aircraft that are new to the Spanish register. I once flew on an Air Europa B733 which was registered EC-262. It didn't carry that registration for very long - no more than a few weeks after it was delivered to AEA.

Clickair will start selling tickets on Thursday (Sept. 7) and will start operations on the 29th of October.
First destinations will be (all from Barcelona): Valencia, Bilbao, Malaga, Sevilla, Amsterdam, Dublin, Geneva, Zurich, Prague, Lisbon, Porto and Moscow. However, the launch of some of these destinations could be delayed.
It's still unknown which company will do the handling for Clickair in Barcelona (because Iberia Handling lost the concession for this airport).
Clickair, as many other LCCs already do, will try to increse the use of each aircraft (compared to Iberia), therefore it will have up to five crews for each aircraft (instead of three that are common in Iberia).
Well, and concerning the interior of these aicrafts (this is not mentioned in the article), they will probably be very similar to Iberia. Seat covers may be changed and business class would be removed.

25 IberiaA319: That picture was on Clickair's website until today, with the wrong Airbus A300. Now it has been changed and an A320 is being showed instead!! See:
26 RootsAir: If you check out the A320 it has the A300 wingtip fences !
27 Lovinitflyboy: Looks good, but not on the A300! but then i was never a fan of that aircraft, nothing looks good on it or the A310.
28 Stirling: Great Looking airplane. Boring Name. Might as well have called it "Airline Airways", or "Air Airlines", or something just as original...
30 A360: That livery looks sweet! Can't wait to see one of those here in OPO! Regards: A360[Edited 2006-09-06 20:34:34]
31 Arturo88: Wow the best photos for a great airplan, what else can I say....
32 A388: Like I've said before, a very nice livery. It would have looked much nicer on a A300-600 A388
33 TriStar500: Did I get that right? IB Handling is pulling out of BCN? That is really a massive surprise given the still high number of Iberia flights even after t
34 IberiaA319: Yes, IB handling lost the concession for the Barcelona airport. Employees will be transferred to one of the three new handling companies in Barcelona
35 Pe@rson: Some excellent intro, lead-in offers, particularly on BCN-SVQ and BCN-GVA - about 10.50 EUR one-way incl. tax. I note some of the interesting flight t
36 MIAMIx707: I agree, on an A300 it would've looked gorgeous. The first pic is already up. It kinda reminds me of rare liveries seen on bare metal cargo aircraft o
37 Iberia340600: TriStar500 - IB Handling is not pulling out of BCN...what happened is that AENA(the spanish airports authority) granted new concessions at all airpor
