I read somewhere that the A320neo's performance specs are such that it allows airlines to operate it into airfields with short runways which could not be operated by A320ceos. Apparently some airfields in Scandinavia that previously only saw 737-700s are now served with A320neos by SAS, and Rio de Janeiro SDU - currently served by A319s and 737-800s with short field performance package - will be an airport that will see A320neos. Can someone give more information? Which routes are now possible to be operated by A320neos, but couldn't be operated by A320ceo? Statistics: Posted by mozart — Thu ..read more

In April 2024 we did a small round trip through Asia. Flown from Leipzig via Vienna we spent a week in Tokyo. Our journey continued to Taipei. The Video of this flight can be seen here. We visited the ANA Lounge at the Terminal 1 Satellite 5 and enjoyed good food there. After that we headed to our gate where the Boeing B787-10 was already waiting for our trip to Taiwan in Royal Laurel Class. And EVA Air offers a lot on this short flight. The seat is decorated with pillow, blanket and even slippers and headphones. A welcome drink was offered immediately. The catering on this flight was a three ..read more

With the recent news of SWA dropping IAH (https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireSto ... -109618063) this has got me thinking, does overflying your own hub in this specific matter work? I would argue that it has been proven time and time again that overflying your own hub in this specific manner doesn't really work. JFK flights were unprofitable for UA, AA couldn't make Love Field nor LGB work, B6 couldn't make EWR work, neither UA or AA couldn't make Chicago Midway work. AA tends to add and drop FLL a lot too.

An American Airlines A321 N136AN received substantial damage when it was. under tow with a Super Tug. Preliminary reports are the tug was too fast and jack knifed. Sounds like more and more careless errors....

https://www.11alive.com/article/travel/ ... 2aa59a0c8d Some airports would rather prolong the inevitable instead of being proactive: Like with ATL, I really don’t understand why they didn’t just completely reconstruct concourse D in phases. Do what LAX is doing with terminals 3 and 4 instead of trying these innovative (and risky) measures for widening concourse D. Is the airport authority so hard up for cash that they can’t just improve the world’s busiest airport incrementally? Please help me out here lol… Statistics: Posted by Sdmccray1984 — Thu Apr 25, 2024 1:57 pm — Replies 8 — Views 346 ..read more

Hey forumers, This is a special tripreport as I flew out of my homebase (LUCKNOW) newest terminal the T3 and I chose the very first departure out of my city for this journey which was IndiGo with so many flights operating to and from my base. https://youtu.be/odKOqDKVKW0 I enjoyed the flight as it was a short 45 minutes hop and given there were no inflight services including meals etc it was a pretty basic ride with comfortable seats and good legroom for this short hop to Delhi.More than the flight I was excited about flying through my home airport's new terminal which was actually thrown op ..read more

This is interesting - Fiji has approved a recommendation to adopt an open skies policy. "Approvals will be granted on a case-by-case basis and will consider economic, strategic, and operational factors ... negotiations could start with the United States for an open skies framework that would allow Fiji Airways to operate direct services between Fiji and new US destinations." Last year, FJ's CEO said that the airline was considering adding SEA, DFW and PEK, among other ports, but that: ... some hurdles still need to be overcome in order to make the proposed routes a reality: namely, flying ..read more

Logical replacement for the 748I. Let’s hope this comes to fruition. Boeing and the 777X program sure could use a shot in the arm. Korean Air is in talks over the purchase of at least 10 Boeing 777X jetliners in a potential tilt back towards its traditional U.S. supplier after placing a major order with European rival Airbus, two industry sources said. https://m.koreatimes.co.kr/pages/articl ...
