It's been a few months since this post was last resurected but wherein, as a follow-up, I'm delighted to report that Astraeus today gained 120 minute ETOPS approval for the B737-
700.
Somewhat as proof of this, as I type, AEU233 is en-route from London Gatwick to Deer Lake / Canada - during the course of which it will be making full use of the ETOPS approval.
ETOPS for the B757 fleet will be following soon.
