A buddy of mine who is a First Officer for Air Transat, mentioned to me that HQ is thinking of slowly phasing out the 310's - he is typed on the 310 at the moment. I asked him what are they looking at to replace the 310's. He told me that perhaps they will get 767-200ERs from Continental!? Though, there are obvious hicups with Continentals financials. Anyhow, this is nothing solid. Just thought i would share. (www.airtransat.ca) 更多...
Air Transat does not buy new. They will wait for 767-300ERs...unfortunately they missed an opportunity to purchase the Gimli Glider from Air Canada to go with the A-330-200 that ran out of fuel over the Atlantic and had to glide into the Azores. They could have advertised having the world's largest fleet of heavy gliders.
