That photo was taken in 2007. The jetways have been removed now. Indeed, quite a shame this extension barely got to be used , it was a great design for simple transfers (maybe now would be a different song given all the security constraints!).

Jump to postThe route structure doesn't allow any routing between Paris and Lyon/Switzerland anyways. That flight would either have to be routed North of Paris and then over Belgium/Germany, or across Switzerland. So London is not that much of a detour anymore...

Jump to postYes, Clermont-Ferrand's catchment area is a sparsely-populated region without the seaside touristic draw that Montpellier can boast.

Indeed. And although we have yet to see the other renderings, it looks like they dropped the red? I find the convergence really obvious here, more so than in any other field.

Maybe people from ATR? Is it common for airlines to have instructors from the manufacturer help the in-service process?
