Aeroskid,
I just noticed something in the news article that leads me to think there is a mistake there. It is said a decision will be made in the next few months. Would that not mean aircraft delivery well before 2008? It was only a few months between A320 order and first aircraft arriving.
Maybe Aertel got this bit wrong? I read the same piece on Aertel earlier and the delivery date was not mentioned at all. Perhaps EI asked them to correct this?
