nice nick
I dont understand how an E70 can be used for a route such as BAH-ATH which is nearly 4 hours long in flying length. If this was the idea then ATH should be suspended because its pointless flying such a plane on this route when EK/QR/EY offer a better product with a larger aircraft.
Also the cost of operations for a 70 seater aircraft to fly a 4 hour sector is very high and should be un-viable for a low yielding route such as ATH itself.
yes it seems pointless.. but installing state of the art entertainment system on the embraer is also pointless..they need those IFEs on 330s and 320s.
Those embraer were meant to fly on domestic routs.. a smart thing to do would be having something like a shuttle service to kuwait,qatar,doha,UAE ,muscat and some small airports in oman.
