Only a matter of time before the ex-TG A346's that flew to China recently find their way into Iran once enough fat brown envelopes have been handed over. Iran could also look to Azerbaijan and their two ( stored WFU ? ) A345's. Azerbaijan and Iran have a very negative relationship to each other, th...

Jump to postI read the comments section here in amazement and confusion. Here are some questions: 1) The airlines knew an enormous storm was coming. Why not cancel SFO flights? 2) I presume the answer to 1 will be because the fleet/ops then get completely disrupted across the entire network. But they ended up ...
Jump to postEarlier today, I was watching a livestream video from Frankfurt Airport on YouTube. It still amazes me that in 2024, the A340-300, which is woefully under-powered is still in front line service. The takeoff roll was so long, the aircraft was almost out of camera range before it slowly lifted off . ...
Jump to postI wonder if the current 737 MAX debacle changes AS management's calculus on the future of the A321neo fleet. One of the many reasons I prefer flying HA is I don't have to worry about being stuck on a MAX or 787 (at least until April). Ah yes, instead of getting stuck with a MAX or 78 issue you coul...

Jump to postIn addition, the current airport opperates on a one way in one way out system with all departures on 23 and all arrivals on 5 which decreases the number of movements possible.

Jump to postI think the problem with TK operating IST-PER at the moment is that their 789 has too many seats onboard to do so. TK has 300 seats onboard their 789 fleet. They need to reduce the amount of seats from 300 down to something lower, like 236, to make the IST-PER route work nonstop in both directions....

Jump to postCurrently the only airport in Greenland with a runway long enough to accept a decent sized aircraft is in Kangerlussuaq.

Jump to postPeople has to remember that KTM lies 4,390ft above sea level, in part of the Himalayas. To fly 11hr from an airport that high likely involves a substantial weight penalty on takeoff from KTM, and I guess this is partly the reason behind SIN stop.

Jump to postThank you! It’s gonna be really interesting to see what the layout will look like. I hope for a new runway or two more.

Jump to postMy concern would be taxiways and taxiway widths - they recently extended the runways but while there is a concept to expand the parallel taxiway too it will be very tight and require a lot of other changes.
