Primera appear to be leading at least 2 B757 with crew from a Florida based airline for Stansted.

Well below cost, if they sell too many, they’re screwed. Worth looking at the mess DY are in and learning from it IMHO.

They only had 99 seats at £99 but got lots more internet traffic than the 99 seats available.

...and if they sell the right amount, gets their name known and punters through the door. Worth looking at how well FR have done and learning from it.

Get their name "known", and then fly them on clapped out 757's from across the pond - all decked out in another carriers livery. All at well below cost and with a website that can't handle a decent amount of traffic. Seems like things are going well so far

Does anyone know when they will actually take delivery of their first A321 and when they will operate their own first flight?

If the 757 are for TA and cover late deliveries would this cost not be covered by Airbus. Of course it may be nothing to do with that.

some £99 TA seats still there - 10kgs hand baggage only, no grub and no seat res.

the extras if you want to pay for them are exorbitant

If Airbus were covering the cost, as an airline waiting on brand new aircraft,I would not be happy being offered old B757s as a alternative option until my order turned up.

Do you have more info and how credible this info is ?
Are the 757s for Stansted only ?

Can anyone advise when the first owned airbus will arrive and at what base it will be used ?

And are the 757s to cover longhaul or the holiday islands ?
Where are all the 737s coming from ?

So many questions

Employees have been told aircraft are being leased however no mention of who from. The leased aircraft are for Stansted long haul flights only.
The first A321 arrives next month but will only fly short haul, 737's are coming from the Primera Air Scandinavia/Nordic current fleet, as well as a leased A320 from DAT.

It is very credible - info comes from the airline (B757 lessor) itself.
I don't know about the other U.K. departure points Primera hence my original post being 'at least two'.
Sorry I can't be more specific - any further info will give away where and who I work for and I don't really want that on here.
