No thats bollox boiler, the GF 321s do have centre tanks.
Wings tanks approx 6080kg*2
Centre tank 6430kg
= total approx 18600kg.
then what seems to be the problem?
btw Ive flown GF's A 321 BAH-DXB in economy class in April and found the seating to be quite comfortable.
They use the A 321s on BAH-BOM, BAH-DEL, BAH-IRAN and BAH-DXB/DMM flights usually.
Also, I hope that this order for 20 A 333s made at Farnborough last year will not be entirely for A 333s as GF doesnt need such a big aircraft for many of its medium/long haul routes.
3 class A 333s are ideal to replace the A 343s / A 332s on LON (GF7/2 only), FRA (GF 16/17 only), CAI, JED, CDG (GF 18/19 only) and RUH only. Where as a 2 class A 332 (seating 260 passengers) is ideal for LHE, ISB, DAC, KTM, BKK, KUL, MNL, BOM, DEL, PEW, KHI flights.
Lets hope that the new CEO from RJ can bring in some positive development to the airline. One must have patience as it will take at least 2 years minimum to see the initial impact that his policies/decisions would have on the airline's overall performance and brand building.
