Oh, looks like I won't need those extra beach clothes today! Very much, business as usual. Flight's almost all full and all on time, with two exception's.
What is it with the need of people to post such utter rubbish DAVYDAY? You are obviuosly very ill informed. Come back with some hard facts, or please do not post here.
This past week, we saw one -600 G-CDKD start it deep maintenance before going to it's new owner in Korea. It's certainly not 1 or 2 years old.
The other two we sold much earlier in the year, were also -600's G-CDRA & RB, both of which went back to the owner's we purchased them from - SAS!
Why were they sold? Simple really. We were offered a very good price for them and they are not really all that suitable for our routes. With the load factors we have, in the region of 85-100%, we only just achieve the legs. And given where we will be going in the future, they just do not fit the business needs.
If I undertsand correctly, we are seeking to lease new airframes to replace the sale of the -600's and the two -300's which are due to be returned at the end of the year. More 7's and 8's for those interested.
