IIRC the official quote was " up to " US$ 2 billion above budget and that through to 2009. As a %, it is ca. 20% which is perfectly reasonably given the size and timescale of the project.

Furthermore, quoting US$ (instead of €) gives an inflated figure due to the present currency situation.

Anyone notice. Statement by the CEO:
"Boeing is and will remain our supplier over the long term," Hidalgo said.
That's why you signed an LOI for 10 A350 last week. :roll:

If Ryanair couldn't make STN work with their marketing power, I seriously doubt Wizz will make LTN work.

Hi from Ireland

Just discovered this rather pleasant aviation community so thought I’d join and throw in my €0.02’s worth. Some of you may know me from Airliners.net where I am the user Teahan.

Though I was born in Geneva (Switzerland), I live in the south west of Ireland where I am studying business at university ...
