more planes for NKS?
First time poster. I generally don't like to speculate, however has anyone see on yahoo finance today the article about Airbus and possibly ramping up production of 320s? that in and of itself is not huge news. Apparently they also have a 330-300 which is a "regional" model with specs for shorter routes and similar operating costs to the 321s. President said he expects an order for these models before the Paris airshow.. In light of what our CEO said recently about potential adjustments to aircraft later this year anyone think its possible? I for one don't think the insinuation from BB was about a Frontier merger.. I suspect orders for more aircraft..whatever type…. to possibly come later in the decade.. Anyone think you could fill a 330 to BOG? or to somewhere like ORD?

We could easily fill a 330 into BOG, as well as SCL, EZE, MAO, GRU, VCP, MVD and about a half dozen other cities in the deepest darkest parts of South America.
Azul is flying two 330's into FLL a day out of VCP, and they're packed.
The market exists.

Sounds about right. It's very expensive to add a new aircraft, even if the pilot training is only a few days. I believe the ULCCs will eventually operate larger aircraft, but I don't think that day is here.

But they only fly twice a day and sit for some 12 hours.
