Air Contractors (ACL) to wet lease 3 B757 to Aer Lingus for transatlantic flights
Does anybody know anything about this venture ? Are both cockpit AND cabin crew provided by ACL ? Is ACL recruiting crew members ?
"Aer Lingus’s choice
Aer Lingus have selected Air Contractors as their preferred supplier for the provision of Wet Lease transatlantic services. Discussions, subject to contract, are underway with the intention of concluding arrangements for an initial period of four years. The concept is that Air Contractors will operate two/three 757 ER aircraft from Shannon and Dublin 7 days/week. Destinations are to be confirmed but will include New York and Boston. This development underscores the confidence Aer Lingus have in Air Contractors and our ability to provide cost effective, tailored solutions operating to the highest possible levels of customer service and reliability. The opportunity is testament to the great reputation that Air Contractors have developed with blue chip companies and is recognition of the hard work, commitment and professionalism displayed by the Air Contractors team."

No reduction, capacity is being added by this move, the A330 based in SNN will be replaced with 2 757s, each to operate JFK and BOS daily (an increase in capacity). This freed A330 will then go to Dublin and operate from there, with rumours of a service being re-launched to SFO with the freed A330.
