This effectively ends JAL's 777 domestic flights. With that being said, JAL has 20 777s used on international routes (7 are the -200ER while 13 are the -300ER, and they're all powered by GE90 engines). The A350-900 used on domestic flights and are considered as a good replacement for the 777s used o...

I don't know if they'd switch to Airbus, since their wide-bodied aircraft are Rolls-Royce exclusive or majority.
Having many events to be cancelled from the onset of COVID-19 (most of which had the next schedule set in 2021), people came up with virtual events to alleviate frustration and loneliness sustained from the pandemic.

Jump to postI think new orders for 777x and/or the 777F would likely come from EVA Air, Air France-KLM, Korean Air, Air Canada, as means of replacing such older fleet. AC's 77W can carry up to 450 passengers, with a 777x, it would permit more freight operations while flying 450 passengers, having the 777X to ge...
Jump to postWhat might the fate of DL's 777 be?

Jump to postMaybe one proposal is that the House of Representatives should decide the next president instead of normal voters. (However, this move can only happen if the candidates fall short of the 270 electoral votes).
Jump to postMost of them are relatively 2 decades old, which could be a good time to retire the 753 and the 764 (Both of whom operated by DL and UA, but replacement is their discretion). It's potential replacement could be the A330-900neo, 787-9, 787-8, 797 (if developed), or A321neo.
Jump to postThis could be DL's plan to phase out ALL the McDonnell Douglas aircraft (MD-88, MD-90, and MD-95/717), as the MD's are rapidly aging relative to their Airbus and Boeing fleets.
Jump to postWould the coronavirus impact the 737 MAX's re-entry into service and/or the 787 production line? What about Airbus as well? Would Boeing and Airbus have to suspend their deliveries to mitigate the coronavirus spread?

If they did, it'll be allocated for flights to the US (SFO, LAX, JFK, HNL) or Europe (LHR, CDG), and would be based at either HND or NRT.
However, given the costs and the complexity (including the folding wing), the likelihood would be little to none.
Would that men there could be a possible merger between AS and AA? I know that shortly after CO joined Star Alliance, it merged with UA. Let’s hope not.

Jump to postIt turns out that Delta and American are switching Latin American carriers with each other. Before Delta's investment on LATAM, they had stakes with GOL, while AA partnered with LATAM. It became the opposite when DL purchased 20% of LATAM (with the latter exiting Oneworld).
Jump to postMay possibly the A350XWB, as Airbus claimed that the A350XWB is more fuel efficient than the 777 (regardless of variant).
Jump to postI think Airbus isn't too worried that an A220-500 will cannibalize the A320neo. A220-500 will be shorter range and have less takeoff performance. Much like how the A220-300 did to the A319neo? I'm pretty sure that if range isn't a big factor, which Air France flies the A320 family on domestic and E...
Jump to postSomething to be said for commonality. They obviously have done some financial modeling and feel even if a larger 737NG is a mismatch on some routes, the overall benefit is greater going single fleet than keeping a 100-seater around. Commonality is one thing. Another thing is that the E190s wouldn't...
Jump to postProbably the E190s are no longer economically viable to many major airlines. AA would phase out the E190s by 2020, probably replacing them with A321NEO and 737s. JetBlue is doing so with the A220-300 as a replacement aircraft for the E190 (effectively becoming an all-Airbus fleet). Air Canada too wi...
Jump to postThe future replacement for the medium-haul aircraft, would that be the A320neo or A321neo?
The A220-500 could be a good replacement aircraft for the A320-200ceo, and the A321neo could replace the remaining A321ceo.
Moreover, which aircraft would replace the A330-200? The A330neo?
It may be good in the short term, but not in the long term.
Jump to postDenverTed wrote:C 919 or MC-21?
Would that mean they'd look for wide-bodied aircraft? If so, then the A330 and the 787 would best fit them. If not, they'd probably go with the A321neo (good for transcontinental and Hawaii routes). The 797 may be a possibility for their aircraft type other than the 737, but depends on the fruition ...
Jump to postIf all means, yes. My guess is that they'll use a 777-9 or the A350-900, but they have to use which aircraft is better suited for high altitude operations (whether it's high density altitude in the summer days or snow in the winter days)
Jump to postOk, that tells me that DL is competing with WN and AS in terms of SJC flights, right? I've taken aviation courses at San Jose State University, and some students have visited SJC as part of field trips or internships, some even hold their jobs right at SJC.
Jump to postI wouldn't exactly call an A380 a success, because of fewer orders/customers.

The 747-8, on the other hand, may continue their production un...
Jump to postI can buy 2 same year model cars but have different engines but they are both the same model range.

Jump to postThe A320NEO is basically a newer version of the A320, which is true because it gets a newer engine for efficiency. However, a 737-800 being the older version of the MAX is untrue, as it would've scared airlines into grounding the NG's as well. The fact is, the older 737s are NOT installed with MCAS,...
Jump to postAn increasing number of airlines are ordering A321s because of increased traffic and limited airport slots.

Of the 25 new A321neos, would some of them be allocated to their LCC subsidiary Tigerair Taiwan? It may be a strong possibility that they're focusing more towards Airbus aircraft.

Jump to postI'd only assume that it's done by a 737-800NG. Would they switch to a 737 MAX once the groundings have been lifted (that being said, finalize the cause of ET302 crash and fix the MCAS)?
Jump to postIn terms of modifications, no. In terms of exchanging orders, yes.
The only 737NG variants that are still in production are the -800 and the -900ER series.
Does that even help recover either Airbus and Boeing from their biggest headaches currently?

If that's the case, they'd use the A321neo to get there (most likely from LAX).
