Induction of new planes is a good sign to expand the fleet size but what about the strategy to improve quality in services? I think management should learn from Etihad and Emirates who rapidly captured business/passengers specially from subcontinent. :-k

A welcomed arrival. I hope they can get it in to service within the next few days because BLV is engaged with those un-necessary VIP flights.
Btw is that BEQ parked next to it?
