British Airways and other network carriers were today labelled as "dinosaurs" during the Routes Development Forum in Stockholm for their somewhat muted response to the new Europe-USA Open Skies agreement.
The accusation was made by aviation consultant and former Olympic Airways chairman, Rigas Doganis, during a panel discussion on Open Skies, in which BA chief executive Willie Walsh described the current agreement as "evolution, not a revolution".
Doganis told delegates at the event: "I find it astonishing that BA and others are not more enthusiastic. Legacy carriers are moving like dinosaurs."
