A third flight is a certainty within the next 2 years.
However, with today's revelation that GLA will now see F class on its flight, I wonder if BHX can now be considered for F class given its quite a busy route for EK? I can see the following happening:
GLA goes 2 daily on 3 class aircraft due to reduction in Y seating with the upgrade on June 1st.
NCL gets the 2 class B773 off the GLA rotation in June, or the MAN rotation in Sept.
BHX *could* have the A330 off the MAN rotation and choose to sell F class or sell the F seats with J service (like back when 3 class B773's were sent to BHX), or, use the NCL 2 class A332.
However, I was under the impression the A332's were leaving the fleet, so, the MAN/FRA equipment changes were freeing up A330's for retirement, and the freed NCL A330 will also be retired?
