XL to SFB?

Ok boys and girls, latest rumour is that following bad experiences with the same route at NCL, XL Airways are considering MME-SFB for summer 2008 with one of the Boeing 747-400s that are due to replace the current -300s.

The source is an XL employee, and I knew about this earlier today but was stopped from broadcasting it due to the length of time until the start, but it's since been brought up on the NCL thread and is spreading like wildfire (understandably).

I do think it will happen, but I think it is more likely to be with a Boeing 767-300ER, like the Airtours flight was. XL Airways are taking over the Alphajet Larnaca route for summer 2007, so I suppose in some way or another that will increase the likelihood that this is true.

Regards.
