Was Air Europe a low cost airline?
Is there a definition of what exactly a low
cost airline is
An airline with low costs - does this mean
no middle men i.e. you deal with the airline
directly?
Answers on a post code please

In a nutshell - NO! Air Europe was a fully fledged scheduled airline with split class and interline agreements with other carriers.
The no-frills low cost carriers are one class point to point airlines and do not have any interline agreements.
Hope this helps!

Did Air Europe have a bussiness class then, I thought it was mostly a charter airline with some schedules rather like Monarch or Air2000 is today, and what schedules did it fly and where these in competition with flag carriers?

Yes , indeed Air Europe had a business class,
namely - Air Europe Business Class.
At the time it was an innovative product with themed styles of service on different routes- CDG BRU GVA PMI GIB MUC ZRH to name a few.
It also had a First Class shorthaul product - Premier Class on certain routes, which was silver service ,Lobster etc.... : It was extremely popular,always full & bl**dy hard work.
The mix of flying was good - short/long haul,charter/schedule and the airline was renowned for its award winning standards.
Sadly it was both progressive and ambitious at a difficult time and expanded very rapidly in the early 90s straight into the recession/Gulf war era
.
Perhaps if it hadn't been for this, it would have stood a good chance,certainly at LGW.
Excellent airline , Excellent times . . . .
Good to see Air Europa (Espana) and Air Europe (Italia) still flying the skies.
