you just have to be clear about which market you're serving at any one time - don't mix the Sun flights up with the Hajj Now Hajj and football flights would be interesting, especially if they moved the 2022 World Cup dates to coincide. |
Well if what goes on in the world as far as accordion fleets go is what was depicted in North Korea and Norway, I can pretty much come to the conclusion that the version we have in Canada is unique.
This airline, which was operating 29 B-737-800 aircraft in Canada last winter, is down to only 6 aircraft in Canada now. It plans to go back up to 40 aircraft in Canada again next winter. Sunwing Airlines - PILOT CAREER CENTRE http://www.picgifs.com/music-graphic...ons-465974.gif |
I think this post should come to an end as there is no more to add to the subject as the topic is NOT new in the aviation industry it has been going on for years.

I suppose it wouldn't be acceptable nowadays to call it a squeeze-box fleet?

Many are fixated with the term "accordion fleet", which I didn't invent. I merely read it in a newspaper article. Maybe you should write a letter to the editor to straighten him out.
The purpose of this thread was not to discuss the term but to try to learn if any airline in the world expands and shrinks its fleet size on an annual basis to the extent that it is done in Canada. Thanks to those who replied on subject. To those who, for reasons mysterious to me, seem to get a hot flush when reading this thread, my most sincere apologies. |
