Today an insider informed me a wet lease contract is ready to sign (or has been signed)concerning 2 A330-300. Owner would be a "Birdy Airlines" alike structure for the first two years.
Aim would be to expand the african network and to start flights on the Boston and Montreal routes, who would become important feeders to the European network and vice versa. What a x-mas present.
Anyone else heard anything?

What would be the benefit of having a birdy airlines structure for the operations of the machines ?
I know SN is often not keen to take some risks but I don't see the benefits to make a structure à la birdy again ... Any comments are welcome
As for the 2 A330's, if it's true I wonder from where they would come since they are extremely rare ....

Air madrid ?
With a Birdy structure they don't have to take the financial risks for the planes and after some years SNBA can take over the fleet.
When Birdy was operating for Sn Brussels airlines , Birdy delivered the cockpit crew, whilst SN commercialised the flights, defined the inflight product and delivered the cabin crew.
Iberia is doing the same with some flights.
Some flights are operated by Audeli.
It operates passenger aircraft on ACMI basis for Iberia Airlines.

I've heard that there were more than 30 customers interested in those A330s. The A330s avaiable are becoming scarcer everyday.flyexel wrote:The A330 comes from Austrian Airlines and it is a -200 iso -300.
They will add Montreal as from june,3 frequences a week.
If SN had succeeded in acquiring those frames congratulation to them
Does that mean that they have changed their mind to take some risks by leasing expensive A330s?
