I don't see why not. GSM have done it!
If they could do what GSM are going to do and base an aircraft in either US or Canada, then they could really have a great chance - ahead of FR and EZY!
Long Haul LC is the new way forward. Most of Europe is covered with destinations for under £30 with major players such as EZY, FR and AB. There are smaller carriers also such as EZE and BE, not to mention national carriers!
If LS could tap into the Long Haul LCC before most of the bigger LCs then they would be able to take a great position in the market.
They would have to be quick though. AirAsia, flyZoom, flyGlobespan and that new Hong Kong based operator are all seeing the growth in Long Haul LC.
Just hope LS takes notice. With more 752s on the way, there could be a flight across the pond before long!
Certainly hope so!
P.S. These are not rumours, they are just answers to a question I came up with earlier on in the postings.
