Interesting read! That ASA A310 gets everywhere, quite remarkable when you consider they have just the one aircraft in the fleet.

Wow, when talking to the Airbus guys the other day they were very downbeat about expecting any more orders so late in the show!

and everything published in the newspapers is totally accurate and entirely without embellishment…..

Amazing how Bfast Telegraph always has a correspondant onboard flights into and out of NI which have any delay whatsoever. They love reporting these!

On the note of Biz Pax the average BHD-LHR economy pays between 70-90 after tax. Biz pay £144 each way before tax! I bet the people chanting water water (which i doubt happened and I am going to ask a friend who is a BD pilot on the route to validate) where on tiny fare tickets at prob £60-70!

Airbus were depressed when this came up in conversation yesterday. No firm interest (i.e. definete orders) was the impression given by a key executive.

Generally i think they know Boeing will win this year as they are probably doing better deals than Airbus can as they know its a huge PR coup.

And did it show up? Nope. Oooh what a surprise!
