They currently only have one A320neo at Transavia France and one A321neo at Transavia Netherlands. Other than that, they have 113 737s. I'll be years before they become an all-A32X airline.

Jump to postIt can't be that one. The plane in the picture is an A300B, while HZ-AJF is / was an A300-600. I’m curious, what indicates to you it can’t be an A300-600?

I fear the Dems will continue to reduce the value of my assets by 8+% a year. So how high would inflation be if the Republicans would run the country? Based on history, it was Republicans with Volcker’s work that broke the back of inflation in the early 80s, so I’d say back 1-2%. It was Volcker and...
