The two class 763 aircraft were former Hawaii/West Coast vacation fleet.

A sub fleet of 14 aircraft and not those that have been plying the atlantic for many years.

The dusting includes with 30 lie-flat BusinessFirst seats, 49 Economy Plus and 135 regular economy seats.

And they are staying for some time.

They are being deployed on routes replacing the now removed business heavy and former Continental B762 models to such places as Zurich/Milan/Amsterdam/Madrid.

They are not planned 75W replacements.

Manchester may see them for the boost in box uplift, however it's going to be some time before Birmingham is in line.
