Mr @Spotty M,
I had forgotten the Scandinavian A330 that is staying in the group, but not coming to the UK next summer. There is also an A320 going as well. Fag packet calculations, about 2000 seats removed from next summers UK fleet.
I suspect that we will see more summer only leases as the UK side tries to balance the summer/winter demand requirements.
With regards to the MON 787 order, even the greenest and latest technology cannot escape the APD taxes of the UK Treasury. Crying shame, anyone for the DC10?
