Now that actually IS funny Plane.Silly
|
Primera Air is also joining the Paris longhaul party offering Boston Newyork and Toronto.
|
Are Level changing tack from just A330 longhaul? I see 3 ex Niki 321s have either acquired or are getting Level colours - anyone know what they plan to do with them? |
A321
I think Vueling is going to open a new base in Vienna next July, maybe the 15th.
Those planes will be operated by Level for Vueling. Strange movement |
I think it's the other way around, operated by the newly created Vueling Austria but in Level branding.
It looks like Level will eventually become the main LCC brand within IAG on both long haul and short haul, it's a more neutral brand and has no reputation attached to it like Vueling may have. |
LEVEL isnt really an airline, but a brand available within the IAG group for their airlines to use as a low-cost brand. In this case, Vueling Austria - due to native German speaking countries struggling with pronouncing Vueling! The current make up of LEVEL: Barcelona - operated by Iberia Paris - operated by Openskies Vienna - operated by Vueling Austria |

I'm sure we had this discussion a while ago. It's Catalan, BTW.

Vueling is a play on a mix of Spanish and English. Vuel relates to Vuelar (/to fly) and 'ing'from English. So sort of flying but spanglish .... spaniards pronounce V like B , as in Valencia is pronounced Balencia and in this way Vueling will be pronounced Bueling in Spain, everywhere else I guess just as it reads with V! |

I still don't know how to pronounce it! In Spanish it should be bwɛling' but who knows? Always been puzzled by the name - 'vuelo' means 'flight' but I'm not sure what the 'ing' is all about.
We have in Spanish “ando” like “ing” in English. bailando, cantando, saltando, volando, soņando..... means dancing, singing, jumping, flying or dreaming for example. Vuela -> Fly Vueling -> Volando could be “Flyando” if we change the words. |
Thanks for that, Lon12. I studied Spanish a while back but am very rusty at the minute!
Sorry for hijacking the thread about Level with a linguistic discussion about the word 'Vueling' everyone :) |

Is Vienna a large enough market to sustain all this activity? Laudamotion, Level and Wizzair are all new entrants with a based fleet.
|
Don't forget Eurowings Europe and increased services from easyJet.
All in all Air Berlin / Niki weren't that big at Vienna like those combined are now. |
Seems to me as if the group is firefighting. Trying to be all things at once and failing in many areas. Are the Level staff still IB employees, if they are it must be costing lots of Euros!
