New full service intercontinental airline, Primaris

Dude, I was kidding

I know, but I had to say something anyway. 😀

I can tell you this, those RR on a 757 definatly have a distinctive sound when they take off. They growl…

Yet another example of great logic. :rolleyes:

I agree…

That’ll make the transatlantic flight more feasable.

Well said Bmused

Ah good, they’re gone for the RR engined model.

Heres the first picture:

Well it could be, gulp, STN! 😉
It all looks a bit airy fairy to me, BA and the other majors have enough trouble filling their premium seats as it is, another airline would have a very hard time trying to compete, and some of those routes already have lots of people on them already. Infact I think every route on that map has some serious competition on it already 😀

Yeah, any idea which London airport they are flying from?

It would have to be LGW, as Bermuda II would forbid them from operating out of LHR, right? Judging by the route map, this looks like a U.S. based airline. This is the first I’m hearing of this.

oooop, mixing up westcoast and eastcoast.

The 757 has a typical range of 3.900 nautical miles. With a lighter pax load this can be stretched to 4.200 perhaps more on ETOPS models.
Not enough to go Direct LHR-LAX by any standard. But plenty to do LHR-Any east coast destination.

LHR-LAX would definately be a 2 stopper for this airline. Probably LHR-JFK-LAX

The GLA service is marketed as GLA-LAX, but this includes a plane change at EWR.

Also, the EDI service is marketed as EDI-MCO as the flight number continues through to there but with the mandatory plane change at EWR.

Continental seems to be doing quite nicely doing just that! Continental has used the 757 in the past to many European destinations and from what I have heard intend to open up new European destinations with the 757.

Next to CO there are/where also other airlines. Think for instance Icelandair and Air Transat.

Continental will operate 752’s on the EDI-EWR service, they used to operate on the GLA-EWR service but this is now 764’s and 762’s in the winter. The GLA service is marketed as GLA-LAX, but this includes a plane change at EWR.

I’m not sure if a 752, loaded lightly could do LHR-LAX non stop ? anyone know ?

I must admit to being constantly surprised by the ranges of modern airliners though, I was amazed to make DUB-LAX non stop in an A330. 😀

Yes ok, but you slightly missed the point. CO operate from East coast US, SFO and LAX in a 757 from London isn’t on, certainly not non-stop anyway.

Obviously within 2 years of operation they are planning on getting 767s or something because I can’t see their 757s doing London-West Coast US non-stop.

* More space in cabin for carry-on baggage because we have fewer passengers’ on-board (126 seats in a Boeing 757 – normally holds 229 seats in an all coach configuration).

The British charter fleet manage 235 with a 29inch seat pitch.. 😮

No middle seats means instead of 3 abrest seating, it will be 2 abrest seating.

Their first 757 in partial livery was delivered not long ago.

* No “middle seats”.

Well I should hope so on a 757

* High speed internet, computer connectivity and in-flight entertainment available to every passenger.

What IFE will it be? AVOD? PTVs? Mainscreen?
