I am looking for Europe, with easy links to the UK as possible. I'm particularly interested where Eastern fly their JS41's. The AIS JS31 is a good call. I can fly quite cheaply YVR - KEF then get Play to CPH, get the AIS JS 31 to Karup, then get down to BLL and get the BA 328 to LCY. Maybe you want ...
Jump to postLooked back 6 months and see no recent threads on the subject of rare airliners still in scheduled service.

Jump to postAC have retaliated by seeking to purchase TS. While I'm sure it was not a surprise to Onex/WS due to the near simultaneous announcements, it does rather change the playing field.
