Can anyone confirm rumours that a second A330-200 (i.e. a third A330) is due for delivery next May (apparently on 7 year lease from CIT?).
Given doubts about the airline's ability to expand its US markets from next Summer, I'd be surprised to see this, unless the airline has secretly been given the nod from Kildare Street that the EU Commission is willing to give the green light?
Also, given the reliability problems with A330s in recent days (and indeed during the Summer), is it planned to keep the older 330s in service until the new fleet arrives from 2012, whichever type that will be?
