EI Fleet
EI now are down one SH A/c as the one they own is still for sale so its to go red , plus the two 320 s that were due back to leaser will be kept after 319x2 arrive.so need SH a/c and are looking hard
diff engines no issue , donkeys years of ecpertise in EI on all engines
LH a/c also an issue so short term seeking LH and SH hulls
possible impact on UK regional routes short term as seeking to get eir to operate current 320 routes whilst a/c sought, EIR getting new ATRs this Q1
lots happening in EI at moment , JFK Terminal switch , VS , LHR terminal move, WIFI , EIR , operating fleet will increae and DUBLIN airport is BOOMING this summer , as THE GATHERING get going , ME carriers ramp up services , TK also
Pilots signed up for VS ops no issue , over subscribed ..
Some other contracts being sought in DUB for cargo passenger handling for TERM 2 , CBP ramping up ,
AF Cityjet cutting a bit
and NO CHANCE FR will have any say in EI , in any form so dream on and IAG with EI slots......BA have no need of any more slots they are squatting all over the place and its actually causing their operation to suffer, especially on LHRDUB ....
EI 2012 in profit .....again....my only wee gripe with EI is they are a wee bit conservative, everyone other than LCC are struggling on EUR SHaul, oppurtunities being missed .
