Jump to postEasyjet is a LCC rather than a ULCC. Pax expect nothing on FR in return for a low fare. Pax expect a bit more from Easyjet, in return for paying more. That’s a bit simplistic. easyJet seem to use jet bridges or air stairs, 1 door or 2, completely at random depending on the port. There must be some ...

Airbus could certainly use a major order given the now five and a half year sales drought on the 350 line but all the momo and KE's existing fleet seem to be aligned the other way and that plane is responsible for the drought- the 789. with UA doing SFO-ICN on 78x and NZ buying that model as well, ...
