Aer Lingus looks at potential for regional jets
Recently, LH claimed that the costs for its Bombardier C-series aircraft would be even less than those for the A380 and 748I. While one can make a strong case for the A319, due to its commonality with the larger models, if EI is going to go down the regional jet road, it needs to be looking at an aircraft which will have costs far better than the FR 738s; whether EI can wait until 2013/14 is another thing, but perhaps Bombardier will be willing to provide CRJ-900/1000s as an interim solution?
