Flyeco

Hi,
The first French low-cost airline Flyeco will not launch its activities in Charleroi in June, as initially forecast, but in December 2003. It will follow the model of Ryanair and fly to secondary airports. The ticket will cost an average of €67, close to Ryanair's €65.

Flyeco will start its activities with a fleet of 5 B737-300, of which one will be based in Charleroi and the others at Frankfurt-Hahn.

Thanks

Wow. They are attacking Ryanair right from the start. Basing 4 palnes in Frankfurt Hahn is really brave. Ryanair will probably fly the exact same routes to keep them under controle or even kick them out of the market as soon as possible.

Hi,
A little competition never hurt anybody, especially Ryanair.

Thanks

Hmm, French. Yea, good luck.

It doesn't matter if they are French or not.
Have a look at the planes they use. They use Boeing. So they just must be successful.

Charleroi is in Belgium!
Strange for a French airline. Oh well, best of luck to them nonetheless.

I wonder if DeltaCappy has always had an aversion for the French or maybe it's just cause of this whole Iraq deal....
