But with so few foreign carriers serving the airport, there's less competition at EWR. It might be worth staying here for that reason alone. Excellent point. It would be most prudent to keep EWR services both due to alternative to Star dominance and ability to sell premium seats due to corporate co...
Jump to postWell, the removal of T1 to build the remaining of T2 main terminal is going so slowly at this moment, what to do with T3 is years away to be finalised (what happened to the rumoured plan of satellite terminal near the control tower and only the 4/5 gates where Emirates gates/lounge is to be kept??)...

Why would United operate more flights from JFK. They have a sizeable operation at EWR, brand new terminal, and quite frankly EWR is more convenient for many including myself. I would love to see more AA at T8 but I'd prefer EWR to be built-up even more, capacity permit.

Jump to postThis is probably a wise move. There are very few planes in their fleet with First Class and probably adds a lot of complexity. Install a very solid Business Class product (like QR's Q-Suite) and it will likely do very well -- great revenue potential and less complexity. I'll be interested to see wh...
Jump to postAre we to assume that A330-900neo is dismissed by default?
And what is happening with the resumption of 787 line. Boeing badly need the 787-10 to start ramping-up new sales and deliveries, ofc.
Is there anyone else who has this feeling that this is what QR wants? I think they believe they really over ordered and don’t need as many planes, so maybe tried to find a way out? And this by no means has nothing to do with the 350. I just think the 350 commitment was more imminent seeing as Boein...
Jump to postAirport jobs offer sh**ty pay and people don't want to take them.

Still, the pay offered wasn't enough for...
Jump to postI love the blue, but the rest of the design appears somehow unfinished, such as the engine logo and tail. What I truly dislike is the name - ITA Airways is just wrong. Italia would have been much better.
Jump to postKLM was my first guess but they use A330. I doubt he would make it about UTAir in Russa. But what if he omitted no Airbus "short haul". That would make it KLM. They were in discussions, together with Air France for a sizeable number of A220, maybe they don't want to go the MAX way. They wa...
Jump to postLTN is actually a very convenient airport with a quick rail link to St Pancras. IMHO using LTN is quite fun and easy. I have personally have been enjoying all LCCs providing direct flights from LTN. I wish they were allowed to proceed with expansion to provide a true alternative to LHR with ample ro...
Jump to postWouldn't it be a much better idea to simply expand Modlin and/or Okecie/Chopin. Both sites can have a second runway added with plenty of space to spare for terminal facilities. Modlin for low-cost flights and Okecie for full-service LOT. This way they can capitalise on current facilities/infrastruct...

Jump to postAirbus in NO WAY needs a new plane to replace the A320neo family anytime soon, it's killing it with the sales and any issues are in PW's remit, nothing major to do with Airbus.

Jump to postIt's a win-win for Qatar and Italy. The 787-8 order will be used by AirItaly while Qatar will get same number (30) of 787-9. Since commonality is very little between -8 and -9 makes sense for Qatar to keep the -9 and AirItaly to get -8 which smaller size actually is better for Europe/MXP (their larg...

Ideally Qatar could sweep Jet Airways but why not also add Vistara into an Indian Airline Group INAG perhaps also adding other assets such as IA/AI.
