New Routes
Next month 2 routes will finally be announced and while WC is confirmed, the short list appears for the EC to be:
East Coast - Philadelphia, New York-Newark, New York-La Guardia, Miami and Bradley international
Bradley international have offered EI $5 million to provide a daily service which would open up Europe, DL dropped AMS in 2009.
West Coast - Las Angles
Extra capacity will also be provided on existing service if they receive the second 2 A333 and 1 B752
In recent weeks IAG have converted options into firm orders for 3 A333, 8 A350 (delivery from next year for A333 anyway up to 2021) as well and 20 A320 NEO for delivery in 2020-2021.
I expect lots will be in EI colors and note these exclude the Iberia fleet order for long haul craft and of course BA don't operate the A333.
We are unlikely to hear from IAG until November for EI plans so may not be confirmed until then.
