This is a subject which might be more of interest to the passengers on this forum than to the "technicians", yet given the article in L'Echo saying B. Flex is not "taking off", it might be worthwile sharing opinions on b.air's new concepts. First, let me state that I like SN Brus...

I honestly don't know which would the best new aircraft for SN's European routes.

I agree that most people don't care what type of aircraft they are flying and they cannot make the difference between aircraft types. This is for aviation freaks like us. I would probably not mind flying a modern Russian build aircraft (Sukhoi). My main concern here is comfort. If you check the web ...
