510 Total seats to be exact.
And I believe they will be in Excel livery with Excel cabin crews.
After all Excel are taking over Air Atlanta Europe when the merger of the Air Atlanta Icelandic and Excel goes through so this is no surprie.
To be fair this merger is only a paper exercise as the 2 companies have been virtually one for a longer than we all realise.
give me a beach now

If one of those a/c is currently F-GSUN then it'll be noisy (QC8 on departure) so won't be able to schedule 2300-0700 local or depart in the event of a delay 2330-0600 local.
HOTAC for TCD delays? LRV's & a night in the lounge?
Perhaps despatch reliability will be improved!!

I just hope for all of you that the current 747's operating the TCD and SFB routes are 'retired' soon. Those aircraft are well past it.
I am glad to say that I am on to a new airline now. Nice shiny and new planes.
