Aer Lingus, one of a growing number of European flag carriers struggling to survive, announced a large number of job losses, withdrawal of seven aircraft from the fleet and implementation of an immediate cut in 25% of its operations only seven days after the US terrorist attacks. It is now working to a survival plan which includes the widespread availability of low fares and maximum reduction of costs in various areas, plus greater asset utilisation through opening of new routes within existing resources and reduced staff numbers. Karl-Heinz Neumeister, secretary-general of the Association of European Airlines, has suggested that one solution may be for the Irish government to allow another EU airline to control Aer Lingus or designate British Airways to fly the carrier’s Dublin to New York route. Seen here is Boeing 737-548 EI-CDG, one of eight in the Irish carrier's fleet, about to touch down at Dublin on May 16, 1998.

LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 737-45D SP-LLC on approach to London/Heathrow in May 2000. Over the last ten years, airlines in Eastern Europe have seen some of the most radical fleet changes of any carriers, disposing of elderly Soviet-built types in favour of modern Western-built aircraft. LOT is a typical example - although the decision was made in 1986 to acquire new Tu-154Ms, whilst withdrawing the Il-18s and Tu-134s then in service, LOT decided to acquire new US-built aircraft the following year. On November 4, 1988, the airline ordered two 767-200ERS and one 767-300ERs, marking the first order for US-built airliners from a Central or Eastern European country. Since then the fleet has built up to include two 767-200ERs, three 767-300ERs, ten 737-500s, two 737-300s, seven 737-400s and 14 ERJ-145s, together with five ATR 42-300s and eight ATR 72-200s with subsidiary EuroLOT.
