Update on IATA Winter 2010 operations:

DAC - capacity reduced by 50% by replacing 12 weekly A 332s with A 320s.

KTM - frequencies increased from 9 to 11 weekly flights but with using A 320s for all services instead of A 332s.

JED - no more A 343 service...all flights to be flown using an A 332.

MED - capacity increased from 4 weekly E70s to 4 weekly A 320s.

All of these above mentioned changes are officially available on all major GDS systems now!
Well there is another rumor that the CP wants GF to get a couple of 777s & operate to the states!
Operating nonstop BAH-USA-BAH will cause us massive losses. We would need to lease a minimum of 2 Boeing 777-200LRs which isnt enough for a sub fleet type for which 3-4 are required at least. As it is if we flew to USA, our flights will not connect in either direction to Iraq

No need to get B 777-300ERs as that aircraft type is way too big to meet our needs especially now that we have gone 2 class versus 3 class earlier on.
