It’s tough when you’re the poor relation, but if you would be bust if it weren’t for your government standing behind you and picking up the tab, you are rather constrained to cut your cloth accordingly – and so where British Airways Plc is to lavish $120m fitting out its long-haul jets with the last word in in-flight entertainment and communications systems from BE Aerospace Inc (CI No 2,478), we hear that Air France is having to settle for a $10m order to equip First and Business Classes in 29 widebodies with in-flight fun and games systems.
