Re: Thai Airways News and Discussion - 2023

I'd agree with that and also say quite definitively that TG would not be launching flights to GVA any time soon. I doubt that GVA will be resumed by TG, but what makes you so definite about it ? GVA/BKK is roughly 100 000 pax per year. Do you have a source for this info? Seems like a hell of a lot ...

Re: Thai Airways News and Discussion - 2023

The Thai diaspora is concentrated in LAX. Why should diaspora be decisive? No reason for TG to return to North America- even though the Chinese carriers are limited you can still transit via Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei. Just pointing out that the same thing could be said for Europe, where you have signifi...

Re: Singapore Airlines announces Brussels nonstop

I don't really know what's next for SQ. but while connecting traffic is welcome to fill up empty seats, ptp traffic is still the main criteria followed by yield. Your stats show 2018 figures which are an indicator but not really relevant after the Covid period, so maybe any of these 3 stations you m...

Re: How to find Tail Number from old Flight Thread

Today I tried to start a new post on this topic, which rightfully got denied by the mods due to the existence of this very helpful thread :) Can anyone please provide me the tail number for the following flights? The time mentioned is the scheduled departure time at local time zone. I tried to dig ...

Re: Swiss Aviation Thread - 2019

Happy New Year ! Thanks for sharing this link SR380! I had access to a few pics of what the new terminal could look like, expect something really nice, roomy with plenty of natural light. But wait and see. They're planning on building over the existing one, while continuing operating normally. That...

Re: Swiss Aviation Thread - 2019

Interesting, are these the latest plans ? The extension in a U-shape is quite ingenious ( at least, I would had never thought of it :o ). When was this project worked out ? Still, the East Wing will have to be finished first, so they have plenty of time to discuss and finalise this terminal extensio...

Re: Swiss Aviation Thread - 2019

Happy New Year to you, too, Dalce. I must say that judging from the number of replies your post got, I don't expect too much to be discussed in 2019

Re: Which airlines abandoned Frankfurt?

For example I won't be adding Cameroon Airlines to the list as I can't remember them ever offering a full scheduled service to Frankfurt and I've seen no evidence to support that fact besides what has been mentioned by N14AZ as the airlines only European destinations were Brussels, London Gatwick, ...

Re: Swiss aviation thread - 2018

You're probably right, although it doesn't make the flight very attractive. Anyway, it will be very difficult to sell anything in Europe unless they'll change their website: even the English version of their booking page is in Farsi only, unless of course I couldn't find it. This may be ok for the I...

Re: Swiss aviation thread - 2018

According to the GVA spotters website ( dpts.org) Qeshm Air ( 2B) will startd operating a weekly A320 service on 05FEB19 between IKA and GVA. How can they get around the problems caused by the sanctions imposed on Iran ? I believe IR has been trying to resume GVA ops for the last few years but fuel...

Re: Swiss aviation thread - 2018

I don't think it would have a major impact on KE. KE is well established on the market and most of the traffic between ICN and ZRH is Korean origin which means the same passengers will be on a KE return flight, whether it has an intermediate stop at ZAG or not. LX will mainly concentrate on their co...

Re: Swiss aviation thread - 2018

SWISS will offer 5 "new" summer destinations out of Geneva from end of June 2019. Why "new"? Cause all of them are already served from GVA with Easyjet: - Brindisi 2 weekly (fri/sun) - Faro 3 weekly - Mykonos 2 weekly (thu/sat) - Alicante 3 weekly (wed/fri/sun) - Ibiza 2 weekly ...

Re: Atlantic Airways to Chambéry (France)

Hey guys, I am planning a trip to the Faroe Island and while I was checking flights I notice they fly seasonal to Chambéry France. Anyone knows the timetable? Why there, not Lyon or Paris? Thanks I checked their web site and can't find any direct flights. Where did you find that information ? I can...

Pricing on codeshare flights

When looking at the CA schedule between ZRH and PEK I noticed that fares on their own flights are exactly the same on the LX code share flight. Why wouldn't they sell seats on their own metal at a lower fare as they must be interested in filling up their own aircraft rather than LX ( which is probab...

Re: Swiss aviation thread - 2018

The "secret tunnel" does exist, believe me, but the door to it is probably no longer noticeable as that area has undergone quite some modifications since it was originally built. Anyway, I agree, it would not me much good as it ends approximagtely at the level of pos.15 and would probably ...

Re: Swiss aviation thread - 2018

Pretty ambitious considering the available space. The satellites look quite interesting but obvously bigger than the current ones. Wouldn't they require enlarging the TWY Outer towards the runway in order to have enough space for large aircraft ? And as far as I know, the separation between today's ...

Re: Swiss aviation thread - 2018

SpaceshipDC10 When you get to satellite 40, there is an extension of the corridor going the the planned satellite 8 ( the existing ones used to be called 2,4 and 6 ). Maybe they have camouflaged the door by now but I saw it built and lit up myself about 30 years ago. That time it was used to store u...

Re: Swiss aviation thread - 2018

I doubt the old "outdated mushrooms" will be removed anytime soon. I read an interview by Mr Schneider( CEO GVA Airport ) a few months ago in which he stated that the possibility of an additional satellite was examined to increase the number of gates Don't ask me for an exact reference, bu...

Re: Swiss aviation thread - 2018

Thanks for the update. I cam't remember, is 2019 set for completion? Cause it looks almost "done". No, as far as know, it is supposed to be completed in autumn 2020 only. It's a real pity it is delayed this much, GVA could badly do with a widebody terminal. In fact, originally, this East ...

Re: Rumor: Westjet possible Edinburgh launch S19?

Good Lord, the APD isn’t a route killer, just a convenient excuse. However it does make a big difference in price. I've just compared flights on Norwegian from Dublin to New York Stewart and from Edinburgh to New York Stewart in february 2019. From Dublin it's € 119 one-way, from Edinburgh it's € 1...

Re: LATAM delivered my baggage 7 days late, after a series of incredible mistakes

I would think that this is quite a common problem and happened to me as well with TK when flying GVA/IST/BOM/GOA. Our suitcases contained wedding presents, suitable wedding cloths etc and it was quite a disaster. After 3 days and calling several times TK at GVA, I managed to collect the baggage 3 ho...

Re: European destinations no longer served by DL

You can add GVA. With the take-over of PA, DL also inherited a daily ZRH/GVA/IST vv. extension of the JFK/ZRH flight. PA operated this European sector with a B-727, but DL stopped this European tag-on and served GVA for a while with a A-310 ( or was it A-300 ) as an extension of it's JFK/BRU flight....
