Rumour has it that BA will be starting a direct service with a boeing 777-200 aircraft with a daily flight to NEW YORK (JFK) and
united airlines will be staring a service to washigton dulles using a 767-300 aircraft.
Further to that
Ehiad Airlines are looking to open a base at the airport, further details to follow.
United and Ba? never heard of this before, what do you guys think?????
Welcome to PPRUNE, cwl747!
I'm not sure that I would trust an unlikely-sounding "rumour" coming from someone who can't even spell "Etihad"
Sanity check: if US carriers like CO with huge onward connecting feed potential are not yet convinced that the CWL market is enough to justify a 757, er... why exactly would BA feel that the CWL-NYC point-to-point market justifies a 777?
So IMHO the author of the Wikipedia rumour sounds like someone with a tenuous grasp of the distinction between reality and adolescent wish-fulfilment fantasy (well, you asked
)
