Hi,
A new name change would be great for Air 2000. “Air 2000” sounds dated!

Yes it is, the right way round makes it look like it’s descending. 😉

I think I heard this on airliners.net a few weeks ago, the conclusion being that the name change was a red herring.
From what I remember reading Air 2000, or should i say its parent company First Choice have decided that the airline should retain its already well known brand and name. Something which will be very useful i’m sure if they take steps like Monarch offering low fares to sunspots where they also operate charters to.
Old, established names are nearly always kept. Take the charter airline industry as it is now for example, Britannia owners TUI decided to do a livery change but retain the name after an extremely long spell. On a different note, JMC wasnt such a well-known established name so the decision will most probably have been made to change to Thomas Cook sooner rather than later. Evidence also in the fact that Thomas Cook Germany’s fleet is “powered by Condor”.
make sense!?!? lol

I suggest calling them Choice Airways… where’s the colour scheme I designed that Matthew Murray put in the flesh for us.

Air 2000 is the “house airline” of First Choice, a large UK travel agency. They would appear to be following the lead of other travel agencies in the UK such as Thomas Cook and My Travel in changing the house airlines names to the same as the travel companies that own them. As Air 2000 have only just changed their look recently, I’d imagine only the name will change on the planes?

They have had “First choise” titles for a few years now. Just check the pic below I added (not my pic). Below the cheatline on the forward fuselage the titles can be found. I believe it has something to do with a travel agency booking many seats on Air 2000?
