Aer Lingus- A330's and PTV's?
Hi,
I just wanted to know if anyone had any information on which Aer Lingus A330's have PTV's. I understand that it is only the A330-200's that have them, but I dont think the all A332's have them??? If anyone has any information on things like registrations that have them it would be appreciated.
I was thinking of flying Dublin to Shannon just to get on the A330's but it would be good to get on maybe one A332 and a A333. Anyone know which would be the best way to do this...? On the Aer Lingus website it showed an A332 as EI flight.. but it only showed A330 on another one, does this mean its a A333 or could it infact be any?
Thanks for your help!

I've heard only one of the 332s ('DAA) has it; refitting the 333s might caused unacceptable weight constraints, for example on the DUB-ORD leg in Winter.
With all the expansion plans EI seems to have for the US, once the bilateral is sorted out, one has to wonder if the 333 is really the ideal aircraft. Although it has served EI extremely well and was an excellent choice at the time, that time has moved on. After all, once the 333 is outgrown (which may come sooner rather than later, if EI makes a success of its US routes), where next? They have to move onto something else.
