According to french weekly aviation magazine Air & Cosmos released yesterday, french charter and supplemental carrier Air Méditerrannée plans operating Boeing 737s again.
Headquartered at Tarbes, in southwestern France, the airline started trading with
3 Boeing 737-200s in 1997. Both views show F-GCSL, member of the original trio illustrated in the airline's first and today's liveries
and then gradually upgraded to its today fleets made up of 7 Airbus A321s
Including F-GYAR, sporting a special tail livery as to better show the close link with FRAM, a a major french tour operator based at Toulouse, and altogether, the airline's best contractor.
and a single Airbus A320
operating from Paris/Charles de Gaulles, Lyons, Marseilles, Nantes and Toulouse to destinations across the Mediterrannean area, which inspired the name, and as far as Dakar/Sénégal.
Yet, many tour operatings companies based across the south of France cried for smaller aircrafts.
Hence, a partial return to FIRST LOVE
The airline's plans call for taking up four 130 seat Boeing 737-500s by late 2010 and specifically base them at Marseille, Toulouse, Lyons and Nantes, with an aircraft deployed at each airport.
The model 500 is similar in size to the early 200, but comes up with the quieter and more fuel efficient CFM56s powerplants
