Small Planet Airlines -WHO?
Monarch have just told me they have carefully selected this Lithuanian firm with a fleet average age of 19.2 years to operate a flight I am booked on.
I'm not sure why-- it might be that lithuanian plane that took a short cut through the grass the other day--but I'm not over pleased by this.
I'm sure the small print allows it but they seem to make a habit of using Lithuanian aircraft and it makes me uneasy. What's the attraction of Lithuanian airlines anyway? Are they cutting edge industry leaders? Or dirt cheap.
I quite like monarch now their seats are cleaner even if they are Dutch owned but charging Monarch prices and providing Small Planet service may be a slick business model. They could just sell tickets and get rid of all their aircraft.
Just getting a real moan off my chest.Sorry.
