It's going to be great with 800 fatigued and hungry pax on the UK-Oz run too! This quote running in the Airlines, Airports and Routes thread:
''In the latest issue of Stansted Life the front page is of plans to fly from Stansted to Australia for £300. Although these are only plans, it is said that the airline Emirates Express will fly converted A380 aircraft to accomodate 750 to 800 economy passengers. There will be no catering and passengers will have to bring their own food and drink. Emirates will not launch this project in the short term because it wants to stay a full service airline as it is too 'busy elsewhere' ''
Btw, 49 pilots off sick today. May be inflated due hours exceedence for some?
