If you like to dream about a bigger aircraft for SN, start with the A350. It's unlikely in the next 5 years, but maybe thereafter

This was already known.
That is very comfortable! Any idea of the seat width? 18 inch?
Flybe offers the BOB as well only credit card payment .. while BMI give a full service in all classes
Read on another forum (PPRUNE) that Aer Lingus will also use a leased Cityjet SSJ on Dublin - Gatwick starting late May.Some more info for the SSJ of city jet.
-It will be in the Brussels Airlines livery
-98 seat, 5 abreast, 32 inch
-standard service of Brussels Airlines (Buy on board)
as an extra? because they're already using their A320 on the routeCharlie Roy wrote: ↑22 Jan 2017, 01:16Read on another forum (PPRUNE) that Aer Lingus will also use a leased Cityjet SSJ on Dublin - Gatwick starting late May.Some more info for the SSJ of city jet.

Some of Aer Lingus's Dublin - Gatwick rotations will use a leased Cityjet SSJ instead of one of their own A320's.as an extra? because they're already using their A320 on the route
No problem: interesting news anyway!Charlie Roy wrote: ↑22 Jan 2017, 21:24 PS: Sorry to go off topic. Just wanted to add that Aer Lingus would, like Brussels Airlines, be leasing a Cityjet SSJ![]()
So IAG is another wetlease customer of theirs then?

It's already going on for years here too... Just here at Brussels alone, Schreiner Airways operated Dash 8's and ATR's for Sabena for well over 10 years...Inquirer wrote: ↑23 Jan 2017, 14:04 So IAG is another wetlease customer of theirs then? Interesting indeed.
It seems lke Cityjet is quickly building a business model on providing network airlines with an affordable solution to operate (new or additional) flights which are too thinly booked to fly their bigger mainline airplanes on, thus allowing them to cut their (self-)operating costs without cutting the flight itself.
It's a bit the BMI business model too, but then in a differently sized market segment.
It's something which has been quite commonly seen in the USA since years, but so far it wasn't in the EU: that seems to have chanced now.
Jep, it's gone.
Those planes are all 16 - 17 years old at the moment. Not much of a 'renewal'...sn-remember wrote: ↑24 Jan 2017, 01:13 About the w/b fleet renewal/extension ..
American Airlines are expected to retire their entire A333 fleet (9 copies) from next year .. I don't know the exact status of these aircrafts, could it be of interest for SN 's purpose ?
