Does anyone know what will happen to the plane until January?
Will it sit in Athens or will it go in to service in disguise?
I see TK are getting their A321NEOs into service in 48 hours after delivery these days which is pretty fast. Then they do have grounded 7M8s to make up for.

There is no need for training flights. There is no difference (except of the engines) with the other a320s. The only reason it will not fly is because they wait the second a320neo (which will arrive mid January) to unveil the company logo etc.

Why would they need 2 airplanes to unveil the new logo?

I've just seen this interesting report:
https://airlinerwatch.com/aegean-air...eo-next-month/
It states that the A20N will have a total of 166 seats which is lower than the 180 which now seems to be standard - although both LH and BA are having issues with the density and weight distribution.
It breaks it down further and states there will be 12 business class seats and 154 in economy. I wonder if we're going to see a properly differentiated business class product? The other info in the article has been well recorded elsewhere but I haven't seen anything about seating yet.
