I missed the “announcement” of 4 A330s to EFA? Has that been announced? Or is it just a rumour?
Not sure how they’ll cover the post Covid network with four less airframes. Suspect that if they do decide to go down that road they’ll need load up on extra 787s to cover them.
Out of interest, what is the difference in cost between an A330 crew and a B787 crew if they were to work an identical roster over 12 months?
No shortage of 787's available at short notice if required and also no reason they can't be configured in a higher density layout to closer match the A330-300.
