No doubt the US Trade Representative will present this as another example of how Britain subsidises Airbus
Anyway shouldn't President Tone be flying VS since the Bearded One claims they are Britain's "flag carrier"?
The A319CJ was offered to Ireland when shopping for a new Government jet - maybe UKPlc should buy a few of those to replace the 146 fleet and some 330Ks instead of faffing around with putting them on the never-never rather than borrow BA's planes all the time. Doubt Willie Walsh will be as interested in a K as Sir Rodney is.
