A319s for Aer Lingus?
I was just wondering if EI was still interested in the A319; it was hinted at in an investor roadshow a while back.
If so, Mexicana's collapse has just released another 25 onto the market; some of these are very new (LNs 4,000+). No doubt some good deals are possible?
With regard to the short haul fleet generally:
1. Are the A321s remaining in the fleet indefinitely?
2. Some A320s have their leases expiring in the near future; are these going to be renewed?
3. Is there a Plan B, if RE ceases operations entirely? Could EI consider opening its own commuter offshoot? (ALC Mark 2)
