A340-300 is the equipment.Very bad idea at this stage of their consolidation.
I wonder how much their competitor over on at the dumpy old Lagos domestic terminal played into this aircraft choice.
Heard at board meeting:
With 1930's Chicago Mafia voice, "Boys, it's like this, see... we're gunna blow this town with our A340... just like that A airline... you'll see... just like 'em, I tell ya.... we'll be the Emirates of Africa... er, Africa's Favourite Airline... ya, that's the one. It'll be swell, you'll see."
