Aer Lingus Fleet Discusion

Best username ever · 2013-02-09 13:37:36

Are EI going to get rid of their three A321's soon or will they replace them with A320's? They're getting a bit old these days compared to the rest of the fleet. I was on EI-CPG last year and found it a very noisy and shakey. On the journey over I was on EI-DVM and the difference was astonishing.

EI-DEK is not/was not a Little Red a/c- EI-DEO, DEI, EZW and EZW and EZV are the 4 currently.

Of which -EZW and -EZV were leased in specifically for the Little Red operation.

-DEO and -DEI I would expect to come back to the green.

As for -EZW and -EZV, no idea, well bye bye is my guess. I would hazard a guess that if EI hired those 2 in for a 3 year operation then hey would have built in some compensation clause if the franchise was cut short. This should cover any penalties for EI as I expect these 2 to be returned to leasor.
