Yes , indeed Air Europe had a business class,
namely - Air Europe Business Class.
At the time it was an innovative product with themed styles of service on different routes- CDG BRU GVA PMI GIB MUC ZRH to name a few.

It also had a First Class shorthaul product - Premier Class on certain routes, which was silver service ,Lobster etc.... : It was extremely popular,always full & bl**dy hard work.

The mix of flying was good - short/long haul,charter/schedule and the airline was renowned for its award winning standards.

Sadly it was both progressive and ambitious at a difficult time and expanded very rapidly in the early 90s straight into the recession/Gulf war era .

Perhaps if it hadn't been for this, it would have stood a good chance,certainly at LGW.

Excellent airline , Excellent times . . . .

Good to see Air Europa (Espana) and Air Europe (Italia) still flying the skies.
