Jump to postThese A330 aircraft were the first in the NWA fleet to be equipped with an IFE system.

This system was quickly removed as it was too unreliable and caused a lot of passenger d...

Jump to post19 seems a little tight for both of them. It's about what they are using now. I suppose with growth potential bleeding over into phase 2 may work, but both have been wanting to expand.
