Award from Airbus, big deal. For what, the highest cycled A340's in the world 'cos they do 20,30 and 40 minute sectors.
Oh pu-lease? A 20 minute sector? when was the last time you saw a GF schedule (if you actually have)? The 340's are used to LHR, DAC, BKK, RUH, JED, MNL, KUL, and other long haul routes. No 20 or even 30 minute sector there. The only sector with a less than 40 minute block time is BAH-DMM (35 minutes) and an A320 is used. Please Icarus, stop spreading false statistics. I would really like to believe some of the things you say about GF because you are working for them, but I really can't when you start to exagerate stuff.
