Nothing in A3's network needs lie flats. Seems like a silly distraction from an otherwise well run airline. They are not intending to run them on ATH - FRA. They have said they will be used on new routes that demand this style of product. Pretty sensible and as you say they are a well run airline ....

Jump to postWow. Shades of 4 historic OA 747s. Would be nice if they use each of the legacy names! Aegean really has nothing to do with the old Olympic brand. They have only adopted the current OA brand for their domestic market to stop someone else from buying it and trying to compete against them. They have ...

As a regular user of the Enterprise this is great news and a big boost for the East economic corridor. We just need better connections from the line to DUB at some stage when DUB gets its rail link .

Aer Lingus needs IAG and would not have come on as far as it has without IAG ownership. It would have been a very slow progress in terms of fleet renewal and expansion.
