British Airways is to sell its GB Airways franchise to Easyjet for just over £100 mil
I don't know where you get yor facts from, but BA did indeed sell their franchise airways to easyjet. Why because they couldn't run it profitably. I guess it's another 100 million that help make British Airway's magic 10% profit margin!
BA sells GB franchise to Easyjet (CORRECTION) - Business Traveller
Lucky if next year isn't a -10% loss margin. Then sometimes I wonder if BA actually have this as a real business target.
Good to see nothing 'major' being announced with easyjet. I fly with them next Wednesday!

BlueRay, you are so wrong again!!!!!
Read the article in Business Traveller properly and go to the bottom of the article and you will read the following
Correction: As stated below by one of our readers, GB Airways has in fact been sold to Easyjet by The Bland Group, resulting in the termination of BA's franchise with GB.
The headline is wrong! BA are not selling anything. The Bland Group (who own GB Airways) are selling the airline to easyJet. BA's franchise with GB Airways (which might well have gone at the renewal date for the franchise) is being withdrawn with the sale.

I have to ask - did someone at BA drop you onto your head when you were a small child? I only ask because you seem to be transfixed/obsessed with BA to such an extent that you manage to bring your BA bashing party act into an Easyjet thread.

Re Northern Rock as mentioned earlier:
Would that be the bank that paid back 57% of its bailout money already and on track to clear its liabilities by end of '09 as the city and other banks around the UK take a plunge?
It pays not to make generalise sweeping statements like the original poster of that remark as it's simply inaccurate.
Incidentally according the the ONS the North East's quarterly change was less than most areas.
Might be worth just keeping it on the original thread per chance. It's bad enough crap rumours relating to aviation without adding economics to the mix wouldn't you say?

Indeed. And while we're on that subject, it should be "ITS effects" 
The economic downturn AFFECTS us no more or less than anyone else in this part of the world and it's EFFECTS are generally being felt harder in financial capitals and not "up north".

@ cesare.caldi: There is 1 plane from MXP overnight in FCO, right? The next day at 07.45 that plane goes back to MXP. But what about the new PMO flight at 07.10? 
There have to be 2 planes overnight in FCO or 1 a/c is based in FCO.

Soon to become the talking point of the Aviation world!
Italy is mostly likely to be smashed open as U2 and LH have either announced or have blatently started to move into AZ's two main cities. FR and Air One will almost certainly be 'upping the anty' over the next few months.
Good luck to U2! Sounds like a HUGE expansion but I wish them all the good will in the world. Give the Italians a good British, organised airline!
The eyes turn to Italy....

There are rumours that AZ will close a lot of routes out of MXP (AMS, GVA, NAP, CTA, PMO, BRI...) and FCO (to MUC, TXL, VIE, ZRH, LIS...).
If it is true EZY should come soon!
