I remember that when Swiss Airlines made their order for the ERJ-170/190 family of aircraft, one of the specifics of the deal was that they should be able to operate into LCY, as they were meant to replace Swiss' ARJ family of aircraft. I don't know whether this is still the case?
Is it now a confirmed deal that CitiExpress are to take in the ERJ-170? How many? Will some of these be based ex-BHX?
Just a related topic, can someone tell me the status of CitiExpress' flights from BHX to Spain. Maersk UK & British Airways Birmingham, used to operated flights for BA to MAD/BCN/AGP. Are these routes still operational, and if not will they be introduced again? Much need and demand for a full service airline to Spain from the Midlands. Would be very popular!
