Seeing that EMB170 EI-DFJ operated the 1st AZ service to BHX on Sunday…..one wonders who to believe: the eyewitnesses of that aircraft or BHX/AZ themselves!

We had Aer Lingus start Budapest,Lanzarote,Las Palmas and daily flight to Liverpool.As well as Estonian Airlines to Tallinn but Im not sure of the sart day for that.
Also the days of Continental 757s in Dublin are over they will now operate their Irish winter flights with 767-200.Summer flight direct to Dublin with 767-400 and Shannon direct with 757.And from thme to time this summer CO had such good loads they put on the 777 just like Delta so maybe in a year or two we could be seeing 777s daily during the summer.
