Lets hope its more successful than some of the other EDI transatlantic attempts ! .
Lordy and people say I'm negative? Well I am but hey...
United launched Shannon-Chicago this summer and it does appear to have done quite well, quite a distance on the B757 but it's doable easily in summer, winter ops on American's MAN-ORD needed the occasional tech stop. This is replacement for the second Newark (?) clearly, so capacity is capped but still good news.
Middle East announcement next, with any luck.
Spill the beans big boy
I can't see any reasons why a new owner with EDI long haul enthusiasm should not succeed where a previous long haul reluctant owner failed?
It's surely a straight swap on Newark for Chicago alas so not actually a capacity increase, that's what they did when they launched MAN-IAD. They need to get the South East pier up to International Standards ASAP, it's a bloody joke as it is.
