Air 2000 was launched on the 11th April 1987 by the Owners Abroad Group. Created as "Tomorrow's Airline, Today", the name Air 2000 was chosen. For the airlines first season two brand new 757-200's were operated. This enabled the airline to operate some 35 flights per week from its Manchester Base to 12 Mediterranean Destinations. By 1990 the fleet had grown to eight 757-200's and one 737-300. By this time Air 2000 was operating flights from Manchester and Glasgow to the Mediterranean and Florida. Air 2000 soon added Gatwick as one of its UK departure points and was able to provide seats for other operators than its Owners Abroad parent. More long-haul destinations were also soon added including Kenya, Mexico and the Caribbean. In 1994 Air 2000 received four Airbus A320-200's for use on short-haul European destinations. 1995 saw the Owners Abroad Group re-branded as First Choice Holidays. In 1997 Air 2000 undertook the first re-brand of its image and the tapestry theme was formed.

In July 1998 the First Choice group acquired Unijet Holidays. Unijet's in-house airline Leisure International and its fleet of three A321's, a single A320 and two 767-300 were merged with the Air 2000 fleet. All Leisure aircraft were repainted by April 1999 in the Air 2000 livery. This is the first time that Air 2000 have operated a wide-bodied aircraft in their fleet. Destinations such as Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean are now served mainly by the 767-300 which is operated in a two-class layout.

Without a doubt the best holiday airline. I've flown with them all, and AMM are so superior in every way. The staff are so friendly, it's like they know you personally. There is no superioity pretence like some airlines give you with their crew. Food is scrummy, I especially like the sausage and mash. Flew to Rhodes from EMA on A321 G-OOAJ, all Belfast crew. Fantastic flight. Would recommend it to anyone.

Flew to Palma from Birmingham and back in October. Flight out was on G-000Y. Whilst I wouldn't question the 'planes safety it's interior is shabby and drab (see Chris's comments 30 July). Some panels on the side of the plane and below luggage lockers were loose and a diffuser was missing from the light above the window exposing the lighting tube. Otherwise flight and return on G-000A were very good.

I have just travelled back from Cyprus(paphos)to Stansted and i must say i had a most uncomfortable flight. The fact is, there is simply not enough leg room for a 6' 1" man on your aircraft. I think you must agree that is not an unusual height for a man in this day and age. I was kneeing the person in the seat in front of me and was also constantly being kneed in the back from the passenger behind me.

Air 2000 overall were very good. I was very impressed with there timing. We landed 15 minutes early on outbound and 10 minutes on inbound. I flew from Birmingham - Mahon - Birmingham. I flew on the B767 - G-OOAN. The aircraft was clean and to a very high decor. I was in the main cabin and I must say the leg room was very good. The cabin crew on the outbound were a little bit better than the inbound. Due to our flight times we had batin rolls for our meal. The crews punctuality was very good. They were very quick with cabin sevices etc. The 767 main cabin had a seating congiguration of 2-4-2. The safety on the aircraft was brilliant. Air 2000 play excellent safety videos. Well done Air 2000!

I recently returned from tenerife having flown with Air2000. I have flown with them before and I wasn't looking foreward to it!! To my surprise though the flights were on time and the aircraft were clean and comfortable (except the legroom of course - we are not all tiny!) The cabin crew were friendly and informative and always happy to help you. The inflight entertainment was excellent however you do still have to purchase headsets. The meals on the otherhand were terrible. They don't seem to understand that some people do not like Thai Chicken and rice! So, i ended up with a packet of mini cheddars. I feel sorry for the people who had to pay £10 for their meals!! Other than that the flights were great and I would definately consider flying with air2000 in the future.
