The plan was/is to change jfk schedule to depart los during day and not the evening departure, so when a/c returns from jfk, quick turn and off to AUH.
Nice to see they finally paid bmi and can resume ops from abuja with 800! That will get masses flocking, still cheaper than losing $100k for los-lhr route each time.
I bet BAA will get water cannons out for return of this programme ?. Eurocontrol will be counting the cash rolling in !
As for the new route announced with no commercial dept, what happened to the Angola operation ? Always top of the list ! Not paid over flights perhaps ?
