Primera Air

[Deleted member 8862]

Doesn't seem enough time for crew familiarisation/training though..

If only Primera had announced BOS, YYZ & EWR at the same time as they have, but with later launch dates, i think all this bad press wouldn’t of happened, they would’ve had more time to advertise and the bookings would be much better and we would not have already lost BOS

Tried to do too much too quickly. Hoping that EWR & YYZ are still a success at BHX and the services do not suffer from the late aircraft deliverys

I really wish this airline well but they definitely seem to be cutting things fine and give me the collywobbles at times but they are our only transatlantic hope at present having lost three carriers (American, United and AirTransit ) in the last 12 months, four if you count Icelandair some of who likely pulled out because of Primera.

Lets just hope the 2nd A321 is ready for the 18th May, just over 4 weeks away now, the start date of the New York service from Birmingham and Paris CDG.

By that date both Stansted transatlantic flights will be on the leased B757, so any delays in the production of the 2nd A321 OY-PAB will effect BHX or CDG

anyone know the status of the 2nd A321 at present?

Matt, page 1 of this thread, I believe the posting on 30 March is the 2nd A321, not seen anything since though

Since when did we lose Boston? And why?!

When they realized they didn't actually have any aircraft to operate it.

 

[Matt995]

talking of lack of aircraft, B757 N176CA of National Airlines, is due to operate the first STN-EWR flight tomorrow, departing 17:55 from STN

aircraft is 28 years old, a bit different from a brand new A321NEO, hope the passengers have been told by Primera Air of the change!!

What do you think?

 

[paully]

and most of the punters would`nt know the difference anyway..

 

[GliderPilot]

It’ll still be a picture of a Primera 737 on any media article anyway, no matter what aircraft is used on the flight

Booked 18th May off work to go and see the first flight to New York EWR

Not long now until TATL operations resume at BHX and to be honest regardless who is operating these flights its a celebration.

I still cant believe we have had no flights to the USA this past winter, hopefully the bad times are over and time to fight back

Great dedication BrumX. Such actions must earn some sort of thread reward.

 

[Ianbutty]

Too right Brum X. I would like your post more than once if I could. Lets celebrate this event. I think it will stand the test of time.

As for earlier posts regarding the 757:

Passenger 1 "what aircraft is this?"
Passenger 2 "I dunno. As long as the loo works and there is a drinks trolley."

Great to see Primera Air promoting Birmingham on social media

Who knows with Primera Air

 

[IanFarquharson]

[Ray Finkle]

I wish they were.

The website shows a circle icon with a line through it when a flight is full, the dates about have just disappeared.
