Hi

Does anyone know what the Egyptair A330 was doing at EDI on the evening of the 09th Jul.


Cheers.

Trooping flight, second visit this week.

Trooping flight on an Egypt Air aircraft?!! Surely, that begs a few questions? Wouldn't be surprised that it all comes down to cost saving being a priority ahead of our soldiers' safety.

Thanks for the info..

Are you claiming that EgyptAir is unsafe?

Perhaps the flag carrier of a Muslim country in turmoil isn't the best place to fly your troops home on?

Google 'Arab Spring' and 'Egyptair over capacity' - guaranteed revenue stream in tough climate. Makes financial sense for them

You ain't seen me right.............

I have worked with, and had many Egyptian friends, over the years. They were all very professional and conscientious.

Also Egypt is a very secular country - it probably has the highest percentage of non-Muslims of any Arab country, for example, there is a very large Christian population.

I do agree with the British work for British tax money bit - but the rest? I just think some of the comments above are somewhat blinkered, if not more... !

Couldn't agree more with the previous poster. I'm serving and frankly don't care who brings me back from places as long as the plane's safe!

Just for the record, I stand by my statement.

Nothing against Egypt or any other country, but does take the piss a little when our illustrious leaders see fit to charter from a foreign carrier. Can't see that happening in, say the USofA - there would be outrage no question. At least we're happily "PC" eh ??. Utter bol*cks.
