Excel -Flag of Convenience!
Excel Airways have filed an official application to base four foreign registered and crewed Boeing 767's at UK airports from 1st May for the entire season. Excel fly only 737's and have no wide bodied aircraft of their own at all.
UK airlines have made hundreds of flight crew redundant over the last few months and grounded at least 30 aircraft of various types.
Having seen the enormous protest when there was talk of Air 2000 filling a much smaller and shorter commitment in Canada, how come there isn't more fuss over this?
