I wonder how Delta's Austin hub will work out. Why didn't it workout for American? COVID, for one. Delta seems to be doing well at Austin. Or at least claim "quite pleased." https://thepointsguy.com/news/delta-air-lines-austin-expansion-texas/ From the above link: "The growth comes a...
Jump to postI'm going to keep this as civil aviation related. This is bad. The following airspaces are now effectively in a war zone: Iran Israel Syria Lebanon Jordan Yemen Iraq and we can debate is Saudi and Qatar should be included in that zone. This will really impact India to Europe/USA and effectively &quo...
Jump to postHmmm interesting, but I thought they were doomed at one point? Turning a profit during spring break season is very different to turning a full-quarter or full-year profit. Regardless, this is good news and deserves credit. Moving into the markets where Avelo has dithered about has clearly done some...
Jump to postA319: 1501 delivered A220: 322 delivered True, but how many of those A319s were delivered before the A220 was introduced? Keep in mind the A220 is a much newer design than the A319, for a long time the A319 was pretty much the only option when it came to that size. I don't have the numbers on hand,...
Jump to postThats what the 777X is supposed to be. Did they have issues getting 77W certified? After the MAX, certifying the 777-9 and 777-8 has been delayed.

Jump to postThey don’t do it to lose money, they have various fleets to match type with demand. Very different strategy. DL is the master at always filling the plane—the 7am might be a A321, the mid-morning a CRJ-900 late day is a 737-900. Agreed. With the A32xNEO, the engines are *very* optimized for the a321...
Jump to postKeeping to the civil aviation implications, this would cut off much traffic from India and Saudi. Basically, a no-fly zone over Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and Israel.
This would be disruptive on a huge scale.

Odd question, are there 737-900ERs available that Delta could (and would) buy another batch? Their utilization is pretty high (8 to just over 9 hours per day. With DL's high revenue, lower utilization model, I see a need for more new aircraft (A321NEOs, eventually -10 MAX), but more for cheap *large...
Jump to postIf EDM is insured by companies based in countries where sactions are, that in itself would present issues as I suspect the insurers wont be able to send anyone to DME for evaluating the 380.

Jump to postAnecdotally, it seems hard to believe that DL’s yields at LAX are anything special - both domestically and internationally. There are still some bargains on flights in and out of LAX this summer, including on the SYD route. Anecdotally, DL manages at LAX for last minute business yields and does so ...

Jump to postWhat is the current status? Up thread I posted a link that the FAA might impose restrictions, but have they? Is there any changes to UA other than having to deal with more regulators snooping around? There is also a bunch of diversion discussion. Now, I only am writing as any other a.net poster, but...
Jump to postreading the OP link, an elevator was damaged on the Fiji aircraft.
What was damaged on the other aircraft? If only a winglet, you can fly on with that damage. Looking at the OP link, that is the type of collision it looks to be.

I do not think a new freighter would sell. However, first deliveries were in 2011. That is more than 12 years ago. At some point used examples will be converted. However, I think first the 777 conversions need to go through and enter service. So I personally think we are 5 years away from launch of ...

Jump to postHonestly, the events of this year do justify an audit. While painful and expensive to undergo, I am not going to say this is due to an election year. I will say the FAA was too lax for too long, so they will likely over-compensate the other way. Obviously, just my opinion. I like traveling in a syst...
Jump to postMy mind is racing with speculation, but I speculate the new airport will be in a cold region. Is there an airport in Michigan that would be suitable? Not DTW, but nearby.

Jump to postWell, LOT is putting out, soon, for a request for 84 aircraft. This is A220 vs. E2. In my opinion, a must win order for both companies. This will be an exciting and hard fought competition. Very exciting. The timing suggests a Farnborough announcement. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transpor...

Let's be clear on something here.... The pilot blew a .04 which is coincidentally the legal blood limit for flying in the US. That's not *drunk*. The legal limit to drive in most states of the US is double that at .08. The guy probably had a fun night out before enjoying Edinburgh and hadn't quite ...
Jump to postKudos for security for catching this pilot. While other aspects of security theater, in my opinion, need to be toned down, there is an implication other security services are letting some through. Here is another Scottish incident where TWO United pilots were pulled (same flight) for being drunk. An...

Jump to postIt's the offseason, they probably have slack. This is exactly the situation.
