My first flight in a B727 was on Aug 15 1971 ZRH-LIS (TAP).

Jump to postTwo birds in one day...Thanks for the update.
Jump to postThank you, masi1157. Apparently, none of the members who posted flew A330neo yet. Happy X-Mas everybody.
Jump to postHi everybody.
TAP have been flying LIS-GRU-LIS nearly daily with the the A330neo since December 15th. Just wonder if someone amongst us a.nutters has been on one of those flights. If so, is the cabin really super quiet? What about the flex cabin? Super passenger experience?

Nevertheless, an airline with 91 frames in its fleet is not exactly small. Not a great player, but not small.

Jump to postWell replied, tinpusher007. I couldn't agree more.
Jump to postWhen is the first A330-900 going to be delivered to TAP?
Jump to postVery strange indeed. Don't believe it. By the way: Where on earth is KarelXWB?
Jump to postHi there. The HiFly A380 9H-MIP had - as far as I can tell - a good utilisation during the Summer. It flew many times between LGW and JFK (and back) and then CDG-RUN and back. The last time on the 17th September. On the 27th, it travelled to CHR and then to BYJ, where it has been sitting (possibly f...
Jump to postIt's supposed to be very good. The cabin is apparently as quiet as the 789, as they share the same engine (basically). Let us wait until it carries passengers around the globe and airlines make a statement as far as the performance is concerned.
Jump to postNYPECO wrote:"A100-1000" sounds very strange.
Some error, I suppose. The aircraft is now flying RUN-CDG. Flightradar24 is actually showing a very low ground speed (156kt). It's either a mistake, or they are flying against very strong winds.
Jump to postAs dr1980 wrote, it's unbelievable that 20 years have past since SR111 crashed. I remember hearing the news on the radio. Time flies... I was still flying in those days and I still flew till 2006. As far as I remember, the pilots did everything "by the book", and that's why they never made...
Jump to postThis should mean that LH are keeping A340-600s in the fleet for a while. Great news. Otherwise, they wouldn't have incurred the expense.
Jump to postRight now it's flying the LGW-JFK route and very much on schedule.
Jump to postAnother aspect: which pilots are flying this bird? IMO they could fly at any other airline who is driving the A380, especially EK who chronically lack pilots, and must not fly for HiFly - I am nearly sure they earn less money and their working conditions are worse than those that have established a...
Jump to postApart from who is to blame for the delays (JFK not having enough gates to cope with so many A380 flights, etc.) Did anybody hear anything about the passenger experience on those HiFly A380 flights? Any feedback?
Jump to postI suppose all it matters is who is to blame. In this case HiFly? Or is it the contractors?
Jump to postInteresting. As a private pilot I flew to VSE many years ago, the infrastructure is good enough for general aviation, there is a VOR, I had a good meal at the restaurant, but an alternative to OPO? Not unless significant and very costly investments make such a project viable, IMHO.

She left Manila. Next destination Jakarta or Mauritius?
Jump to postBoth Embraer and Bombardier have a very suitable product for Helvetic's operations. Possibly, in the end, availability will be the decisive factor.
Jump to postNext flight should be MIA - LIS
Jump to postApart from that, these route proving flights carry lots of invited passengers like aviation journalists, etc.
Jump to postTAP on tour to Asia?? Or just the model, not TP one? Yes and no! I think Airbus is flying the first customer A330-900 in TAP colors on the tour. The plane will be delivered to TAP later this summer. Absolutely right. Although, according to TAP's CEO, it's going to be November/December until she is ...
Jump to postShe took off from GRU a few minutes ago. It doesn't say where she is going. Possibly MIA...
Jump to postShe was to fly LIS - GIG yesterday, by diverted to GRU. Any idea why?
Jump to postYes, just follow this link:

Jump to postIMHO there is also one more reason for Portuguese isn't an official language, the two varieties of Portuguese European and Brazilian can be so far removed from each other that it isn't obvious for a non-native speaker to understand what the other speaker is saying even more so than Spanish.

Jump to postAbsolutely right. It's within the range of the "normal" A321N.
Jump to postI remember clearly that when AC disclosed their 2017 annual results (few weeks ago), this part of adding more A333s was also revealed by them and one member on this forum on that thread, clearly stated that these were ex SQ birds. The ex-SQ aircraft also have the Trent 700 EP2 (enhanced performance...

Where is the article?
Jump to postPurely from a passenger point of view, a switch from an A340 to a 777 is a retrograde step and I hope they don't do it. Agree. Fully. The A343 is so MUCH NICER to fly on than any 777. Period. Absolutely. Flew LHR-BOS recently in a BA777. Awful. Very noisy cabin. Back on VS A346 - What a difference!...
Jump to postShe surely looks great. Look forward to seeing her in the air.
Jump to postI presume that the cabin that is being installed in CS-TVA is the new TAP cabin, right? It shouldn't take too long until the whole fleet is done.
Jump to postThe start of operations of CS-TVA is now essentially dependent on certification by ANAC, which could take several weeks as this is the first A320 to be certified in Portugal.[/quote] That I find odd. The A320neo was certified by both FAA and EASA. Is ANAC anything better / more competent to certify ...
