Is A320 performance markedly better on the routes FR will be operating on? Apart for the Greek routes the others are all ~2hours flight time. What is the impact of the short-field package, does it benefit both take-off and landing?
Laudamotion is an interesting experiment, not only are they operating A320/A320 but they seem to be rolling over their inherited AB aircraft for IAE-powered A320s. Lauda currently have 11 aircraft, and plans for them, no doubt, but if needs be they could swap around with FR 737s. I think FR operated some flights for Lauda, they might still?
