Rumour has it that First Choice are looking at aquiring 2 A330's for their Long-Haul routes. I read this on a website this morning. Just wondering if anybody knows anything about it

They inherited some orders for the 330 when they bought out leisure international, not sure if the orders were cancelled or deferred though. I cant see them doing it as they have downsized their longhaul program quite a it in the last couple of seasons, these flights are not that lucrative to the uk charter carriers.

watch out for next year - long haul expanded - with an interior to leave the rest standing. 3 more 767's on the way and rumour that more to follow.
the rest of the chater boys (and most scheduled) wont be able to offer a cabin like first choice will ........

codpiece face,
First Choice Airways' new long-haul service (http://www.firstchoice.co.uk/promotions/promo34/)
Working quite closely with FCA they appear to have no relativwish for 330's They are launching three more 767's to join AL and AN and refreshing their current 757 fleet.. the addition of G-OOBA/BB/BG/BH and the sale of G-OOOC (C-FTDV) to SSV in YYZ and the reitrment of G-OOOM...
Rumor has it they are also one of the Launch Airlines for the 7E7 in the near future !?
