Jump to postThe A330-800 could do a SYD-EZE nonstop (not sure about the 900). That said, AR is pretty conservative with its fleet; can't imagine them going for a plane whose future, for the time being, is not a guaranteed success. 6,366nmi? Airbus advertises 6,550 for the A339. I have to think that's within sp...
Jump to postATL-LGA is pretty high, but how does the whole market look? I assume with JFK and EWR into the mix there surely are more passengers than on the MCO route.
Jump to postFirst of all if that would get me somewhere with 9 bucks I'd try it out. Second, this is never gonna take off. People will simply go somewhere else. Third, the number of people flying on this would be way more than any certification allows. Aka there would be just a few seats like that, possibly to ...
Jump to postI'm thinking a CSeries order (with the Airbus deal and its cockpit layout it should be easier for pilots to transition between types) and a conversion of the majority (if not all) of the A321neos to LR's to go to Europe, and then South America from FLL. I can see them doing BOS-LGW/ORY/AMS first. If...
Jump to postA month ago he was pitching the 787. 3 months ago he was considering changing the entire 66-strong A330neo order to the A350 because it ''wasn't coming soon enough'' and there was a lot of demand. What's going on with Tony?

Jump to postThe CSeries deserves orders. It's an extremely useful plane, and it's comfortable and economical as well. I can't for the love of God figure out why it doesn't have the orders it deserves.
Jump to postIt's funny that the E-Jets and CRJ's along with the newer SSJ's, CS and E2's are more comfortable than the 737's and A320's that dominate the market
Jump to postSorry, but did I miss something? I've seen many claim this, but where's the proof? Sure, it may be cheaper than the 787, but the latter offers better range and its seating layout is more convenient for airlines. If the A330neo was better than the 787 wouldn't the airlines have ordered it instead?
Jump to postHe's right. Because the A350 and 787 are doing much worse than the A380. Yeah lets get #twinjetsareover trending people.
Jump to postInitially I too thought that this sucks, but now I kinda dig it. It's very unique and colourful. If anything they should change the name.
Jump to postHonestly Turkey-Australia flights are overdue. If TK can get fifth freedom rights to make it a one-stop flight they are golden. The demand is there just for Istanbul. Add in the potential market share from a route like PVG-SYD or KUL-SYD or CGK-SYD and the nearby Balkan populations of Australia and...
Jump to postPeople will still want to stretch out on the ground. Many will prefer SYD-DXB-LHR over SYD-LHR. It would also allow them to possibly spend several hours at a great city. Then you have the ME3 fares, which are pretty good, and, as we all know, QR always throws some great discounts, especially in J. A...

Jump to postHonestly I'd expect them to get the CSeries if they were going for a new type. They don't seem to be disappointed with their A320's, and half the program is owned by Airbus now, so it would make sense. The 737 on the other hand... Why...Just why? That would be like choosing a 65 year old woman with ...

Jump to postBelieve posters are jumping to conclusions way too early to determine whether the A330-800 will actually succeed as a long haul passenger aircraft, or not.

Jump to postProbably not that much. Plus no US airline had either A321 or A330 aircraft at the time. This is getting into creepy/CIA tagging you territory, but honestly if you're planning anything of that scale you're gonna plan for alternatives. At the time the alternatives were just more 757's and 767's. Than...

Jump to postSo will they actually introduce new cabin products? They will on the 777X, but will the A380's get them, especially considering the word ''retrofit'' doesn't seem to be on EK's vocabulary? Will the new Boeing seat, which has the same configuration as EK's current A380 J and sliding doors, be used, l...
Jump to postATH doesn't really have much in the way of long-haul... Until May that is, because then it gets crazy. They do have Scoot to Singapore which is pretty unique I think. Yeah, it's unique in that it's one of 3 year-round long-hauls from ATH. Even though IIRC it's the first European destination Scoot l...
Jump to postThe CSeries is nowhere near an RJ. CS100, aka the smallest one, sits as many pax as a 717 and flies as far as a 737NG. CS300 is basically an A319, only with wider seats and slightly less range. The CSeries could work for an LCC WN-style.

Jump to postThe interest for the 797 is in the hundreds of aircraft, and there isn't even a final design yet. Airlines are swooning for the 797, which can replace both the 757 and 767 with two variants.

As SK already today flies A321ceo, expect them to have A321neo in the future as well. according to internal source SK can convert any plane ordered to 321lr some time before delivery. I'd also expect them to...
Jump to postSo now we know that Boeing will not be doing the 797....Airbus inside sources have confirmed that Boeing cannot make a business case so it is pointless for Airbus to continue the study, the A321 will reign supreme for another 10 years or so while the MAX10 brings up the rear.

Jump to postWill they have new interiors? Given the A330's they received have the Avianca interiors, will they keep those? Will they have 3-3-3 or 3-4-3?
Jump to postWhy would AA not be interested in the 797, which was originally conceived as a 757 replacement? Last time I checked they have 757's that need replacing on international routes, and I'm sure the 797 would be much better than a 787 on many TATL routes from PHL and CLT
Jump to postI could see either a 788/789 mix for the 767/A330's, or a 789/78J mix for the 77E's. Either way the 789 is probably in (even tho a 47-strong 788 or 78J order would be amazing).

Jump to postExcept for the flag the livery itself is really good. It's definitely an improvement over the last one, and it's more colourful. I do hope they apply it to the whole fleet, and at the same time renew those ancient interiors. By the way, there's only one airline that can pull off Eurowhite. Air France.
Jump to postI am excited, but at the same time they could partner with Boom, you know, the one that's already building a supersonic demonstrator, and, you know, spend a lot less.

Otherwise, AC ...

Cool idea. Idk if the authorities will agree, but still.
