The current issues Boeing is facing are development, production and quality isuees. I can't see how a new 737 successor will solve any of these issues.

What about Dulles International and those mobile lounges? I guess I should have researched the reason for them before I criticize, however it seems like a new airport built back in the 1960s with lots of land available to plan, could have been done a lot better. I hope they go to the trouble to cle...

Jump to postI wonder why the need for a new brand? Does IAG think that LGW would tarnish the BA brand? LGW is not any worse than any regional airport that BA flies to. Short haul operation to holiday destinations based on LCC business model (737MAX with 'cheaper' crews) just using enough BA brand to make the t...

Jump to postLHR doesn't need two at the moment, let alone three. Even with current traffic LHR needs two runways to provide a reliable service in case one is out of service.

Jump to postWhile looking at Abu Dhabi Airport on Google Maps I noticed it shows aircrafts stored along some taxiways. So this area must have been updated on Google Maps post the start of Covid. The only other example I can find is STN which has a lot of stored Ryanair aircrafts. Does anybody know any other exa...

For me the best looking commercial aircraft. The proportions are perfect and the duck down forward pitch due to the shorter front gear just shouts 'let me go'.
Jump to postI don't have an issue with BA's short haul product. It is on long haul where they are falling behind. Some of the 747 interiors were literally falling apart (I know they are gone). The food is always the same and tasteless.

Jump to postI bet airlines monitor very very closely what people search for on their online portals. Not saying they don't do this during normal times ... but I can't imagen any airline want to be caught out short on capacity when the traffic picks up.
