all the initial EU concerns as they state to have done.
With all due respect how have they meet the terms, giving up 43 EI routes, EI serve the majority of routes twice daily + so giving BE only 9 Airbus aircraft for 43 routes is a joke. EI operate 37 Airbus and around 12 ATR (or will for S13). 43 routes if the majority of EI network and BE are expected to provide the same level of service. Most EI flights are 2h30m so at most BE would get per aircraft is 4 rotations per day. There is no way if BE used there own aircraft they could provide the level of service with aircraft that EI are doing on these 43 routes. There CEO gave pathetic interview on radio earlier this week and it was very clear he has done very little research into EI and the way they operate. All he see's is €€€.
