Must a slot be used for its applied destination? Eg, UA is awarded the nighttime slot for GUM, can they switch GUM and LAX 6 months down the track hypothetically?

Thin fuselage?! I guess the writer wanted to say due to the narrow fuselage of the Boeing 767.

A price match from airbus would do the trick. Most IAG fleets already have the A320neo, so there is no strategical place for the MAX in the fleet, especially given that the A320neo serves the exact same purpose. Well, that and I’m sure that they probably have to pay quite a bit of import taxes on t...
Jump to postThe overall proportion of the 779 looks much better than the 77W, despite the former being a few meters longer. Must be the huge GE9X engines. Looking forward to the first flight and hope the wings flex as much as the 787s.

Jump to postSeveral of those (included the prized 200 MAX) are NOT orders, but LOIs. Big difference.

Good for KE ordering more 787s. The A333s currently flying the ICN-NRT-HNL are getting a bit old, so hoping for KE to replace those A333s with new B789s/10s on this route.
Jump to postEven if it's only an LOI, like most orders so far announced at PAS19, this is a big surprise announcement. It is a win-win deal for both BA and BA.

Jump to postI recall Boeing saying that they will try to make the 777-8/9 cabin a few inches wider by making the insulation thinner. Were they actually able to do that, or is it still the same 16" seats in 3-4-3 economy? Given current gen 777 cabin noise levels, especially compared to A330/A340/A350/A380/...
Jump to postQantas' daily service(QF25/26) to Haneda from Sydney is operated by 744s and I was wondering what aircraft will be used on this route once the 744s are retired. If 789s or 333s, that will be a big drop in capacity.
Jump to postWhat a great job by the pilots. Wind shear just before touchdown is no fun at all. BTW, is the horn sound from the 787 signaling go-around or from a car passing by? I heard planes have horns but are rarely used.

All this talk about possible EIS in 2025. How can it possibly take that long? The Boeing 747-100, designed using a pencil and a slide rule took less than three years to fly. Most of the 797 design is probably already done by now. The 747 didn't even have a FAL built. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...

No pricing but you can check their brochure for charter flights. You might need to contact KE directly for quotes.

Jump to postbut for anyone considering B787's today as a new aircraft in the fleet or A330 replacement, the A330neo is a serious contender.
