Re: Lyon opens a terminal for LCC

It's not very a LCC airline. They sometimes fly for Travel agents such as Look, and you can't book on their website. It's like Air Berlin.

But in the past we had some "LCC Airlines" (Air Inter or Air Liberté).

Re: ECAir launches flights in Congo by LH & Privatair

I think that LH & PrivatAir want to create a feeder reliable airline, in the region, because all airlines in Central Africa are blacklisted. With this airline, LH will able to carry passengers from Brazzaville to Malabo and then connect with LH flight.

The SA market is very competitive (Mango, Comair, 1time, Velvet, SAA,...). But Wait and see.. http://www.bu...

Re: African operations possible with narrow body equipment

But isn't that the Abuja route, while Lagos was (is?) still operated with A345?
Yep but for a shortime, indeed one of two A340-500 will be in maintenance, so the airline will fly to London from Lagos with B737-800, from 31AUG 2011 to 31OCT 2011 according to Airline routes.
