EU Subsidies
Anonymous, thank you for the intellegent contribution to this site. I am sure that any EU subsidy would be illegal however maybe there is something that Max Torque knows as he seems very close to the AA camp.
I remember from years ago the Boeing Airbus saga and the unfair shouts from the USA market about the subsidies of the Airbus consortium and the increased sale of their product. The subsidy issue has been around before, however i would not be surprised if this was not a Danish Government "Grant" of sorts. Numbers of around $200 to $300 per hour have been spoken about!!
That certainly will kill off any competition added to that cheaper spares etc!!! Aircraft in Africa will soon all have horns and look like Hagar the Horrible!
