Hi,

Sir Richard Branson's appeal to be allowed to take over Concorde from British Airways has been rejected as "absolutely unrealistic" by Airbus, the group responsible for keeping the iconic aircraft flying.

Airbus, as in A340-600, of which Virgin was the launch customer?
hows that for customer relations.

Perhaps he might have cost his company a few Euros if Sir Richard doesn't get his way!:ok:

Hi,
Prehaps Airbus are just simply stating the obvious.

Thanks

Hi,

Airbus are stating the obvious but Virgin was only doing it for a marketing scam. ;)
