Guest Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 And here they come. Airline starts transatlantic flights from Stansted, An Icelandic-owned airline has pledged to "make expensive transatlantic flights history" after launching long haul services from London Stansted this week. Primera Air operated its first flight from the Essex airport to New York on Thursday, with routes to Boston, Toronto and Washington DC opening in the coming weeks. Fares start at £99 one way as the carrier bids to tempt passengers away from legacy operators such as British Airways. Anastasija Visnakova, Primera's chief commercial officer, believes passengers are "smart" and will not pay #500 for a ticket when significantly lower fares are available. In an interview with the Press Association, she said: "When you're flying from the UK to Europe you would not pay more than #100 because you can get tickets for £30. "On the transatlantic market, people are becoming really wise about how they spend their money. "We make the transatlantic flights really cheap and we make expensive transatlantic flights history."

Kip Powick Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I wonder how an airline with service like WD would fare if it were to start up. There must be many folks out there that would pay a bit more for what we could call "Full Service" I, for one, don't like the cattle car mentality the low cost airlines, as well as some legacy airlines, are stooping to.

Kip: you dislike exactly what the "Paying Public" is evidently shopping for. Low Cost and then the right to bitch when everything is not up to their expectations.

j.k. Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 So an Icelandic (not in the EU) owned airline with its head office in Latvia (4th year in the EU) operating out of the UK (soon no-longer in the EU)... It seems to me that the spirit of agreements like open skies are being leveraged beyond the vision for which they were implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
