i would love to see a dominican route from either man or lba, i'm sure with the choice of great value accommodation there that surely must be a contention. alternatively they could put it on one of their short haul / high density route - one that is practically full all the time and popular, increasing capacity on a sure fire route.
was there any mention of numbers of 767 aircraft?
