I was in Budapest about 3 weeks ago.

The airport was pretty standard; a typical European airport really in terms of infrastucture but I thought rather quiet on the movements front to say it is a capital city.

Enjoyed the service with Malev though…not a bad word to say about them.

Ok, maybe a little one-sided but even the most objective of us should realise that for once Airbus ‘appear’ to be lagging behind in the mid-size race.

Airbus IMO should now look at an A320 replacement that way outperforms the 737NG if they are to get ahead again. The concern has to be that if they devote all their energy to playing catch up on the 350/787, then they may lose sight of the next big project. Being behind in one race happens, but allowing themselves to fall behind in another is suicidal. But then again, who am I?

The proof of the pudding however, is in the eating. 😉

Oh please…get real.

This is the way of big business Sandy – it happens everywhere with CEOs and MDs – nothing new. He is not disillusioned, he is just doing his job by selling his products and slating the oppostion. This is atypical of business and politcs alike…you will find something similar (though I don’t have the time or inclination to look) for any airline, any aircraft manufacturer etc..

If ever a thread like this was going to be posted, I knew it would be by you… 😉

I don’t think Flyjet have had a good reputation in the past; its very hard if things go wrong and you only have a small fleet.

Things seem to be going well at Newcastle so far though. 🙂

Not convinced either. IAH is a good 10 hours away westbound which surely must be beyond the range of a 757. I just couldn’t imagine a 767 working unless it wasn’t daily and if it wasn’t daily, people would go elsewhere.

I regularly travel to IAH with work (off with AF on Sunday) and what I, any most others want is flexibility. 3 or 4 days a week just doesn’t do that unless it fits perfectly with your plans.

Great Pics!

Really?

Great news if true!!
