I'm sorry but why are the UIA deaths counted? That was a deliberate act not an accident. The MH17 deaths weren't accounted into accident deaths in 2014 so why are these being included?
Jump to postI saw a pic of an AA A300 at ORY recently, does anyone know why they'd send in an A300 instead of a 767 or 777? It also got me wondering about which (if any) airlines operated regular TATL A300 services. I tried searching for schedules but I'm not sure where to find any. Thanks for any help!

Apparently an unnamed startup wants to start international flights from BNE as early as 2021. While I do hope to see this become reality (I mean you can never have enough 757s and 767s) I wonder about the timing. Time will tell how this goes I guess
I think we're really ignoring the point someone made above that this won't be used for single pilot ops in the forseeable future, instead to reduce workload for the TWO pilot cockpits. We're at least 20-30 years away from single pilot ops, and way more than that (if at all) from fully autonomous air...

Jump to postLooks really bad, hope ground casualties are minimal
Jump to postPardon my sillyness, but what exactly is preventing 737s from flying into DUT? I mean AS did it with 732s, and 737s fly into similarly-sized runways nowadays as well (SDU is a good example). Is it a wingspan issue or something?
Jump to postAsk Mar Thatcher and the Malvinas issues ! Last scheduled services was in 1990 through they did operate a few Rugby World Cup related flights in 2015 You mean the Falkland Islands?

Jump to postWhy? Illness in flight is pretty rare, and if you're referring to a COVID type of situation it would be extremely pointless. As for medical emergencies, correct me if I'm wrong but I think FAs receive some basic training to help people for the short time until they make an emergency landing
Jump to postI'm surprised nobody has thought that the 737 MAX has no timeline for EIS, and with the outbreak now it could be a very long time until production goes back to what it was, so what kind of sense does it make to order 100 of them? Not to mention what has already been discussed about ordering 100 new ...
Jump to postEasyjet has among the largest fleets and carries among the largest amounts of pax in Europe at very low prices. Without them tons of markets will suffer across the continent. It's a no-brainer to save them. Let's hope the UK government doesn't play favourites
Jump to postOK I know everyone here is ready to declare them bankrupt, but are we sure this is Interjet going under and it has nothing to do with, oh I don't know, the global pandemic that has put a ground stop to the majority of flights worldwide and has lead to thousands of aircraft being grounded across the ...
Jump to postI'm sorry does nobody else have a problem with that blue? That is disgusting. What the hell MEA?
Jump to postSo I just found out ATI has a few 752 Combi aircraft, and apparently National also used to have some as well. Could anyone provide some more information because my searches turn up very little, regarding the kind of missions they use them for or any other info you may have? Maybe we could convince t...
Jump to postWalk through video : Interesting video. A few more comments after watching it: - No headrests behind the overwing exits..:( - Is the configuration still 174 seats or did they go up to 180? I see the lavatories behind the last row of seats have been replaced by wardrobes. Did they cram in an extra r...
Jump to postWhy are we even talking about the overrun statistics? Quite literally - and with no exception - every single serious overrun involving either an NG or a bus (and almost every single runway overrun involving any type of aircraft ever) has been attributed to pilot error. Doesn't matter if the 737 has ...
Jump to postLanding 2/3 down the runway with a 16 knot tailwind.... genius. Gives off Air India Express 812 vibes... too bad it cost a life
Jump to postNo current operator of the neo is gonna order 40 additional aircraft. It's probably China, but it could also be another new operator. The order probably includes options too, so the actual number is probably closer to 20 which would grow the list of potential customers
Jump to postAll I have to say is that there is nothing credible proving any theory atm, and yall are just pretending to be the NTSB. The missile theory has no evidence now that the ''shrapnel'' turned out to be just pebbles. It was a blurry image where pebbles were mistaken for shrapnel damage. There are other...
Jump to postI wouldn't expect it to be a case of "Iranians" being stupid. If it was accidentally shot down by an Iranian missile then it would be more likely a single Iranian making a mistake. Given the current climate, it is certainly possible that somebody had a mistaken reaction. Not saying that i...
Jump to postAlso, sorry for doubleposting, but the Iranians aren't that stupid. I think they'd realize an aircraft flying at 4500ft above the ground 10 miles from their largest commercial airport and right on course for one of the standard departure paths which they set themselves isn't a military jet. Also, sh...
Jump to postIranian authorities have not been afraid to blame their own in investigations, so unless the government is directly involved in this I have faith, however I hope they cooperate with the NTSB. Politics should never get in the way of safety. Also, looking at the pics from AVH, that engine damage does...

Jump to postThey’re not really supposed to be left for a year. Even 30 days of parking requires a check. I mean you set the outside altitude for ground level a few hundred feet lower than it really is on the cabin pressurisation panel during descent to keep the fuselage pressurised while you’re taxiing to the ...
Jump to postHonestly it's way too complicated to put in a thread. The Greece example someone above used is great to show just how complex this question is. You'd have to factor in except for the pure population of the city the airport serves everything from catchment area and tourism to income.
Jump to postAssuming the MAX comes back in 2020, it still doesn't solve a huge issue, public perception. Regardless of how safe it is, Boeing has lost almost all confidence in the frame from the flying public (and rightly so). Now I agree that once international regulators certify it it's gonna be just as safe ...
Jump to postThey set up their HQ in SLC this month, and a few months ago they said they're looking at some ex-Azul E190s to start off before the A220s arrive. AFAIK that's it basically

Jump to postBecause it’s a Bombardier design? AC have it on their 777s AC have it on their CS3, too, as per the picture up thread. But it’s not an OEM requirement. AC's mask is part of their livery, it's on all of their aircraft. Regarding OP's question, I assume because the original CSeries didn't have it, an...
Jump to postThe only reason people hate on this (and tbh any new livery) is because they just wanna whine and they're just afraid of change. People also bitched about the new QF, AC, SK and TN liveries and they now love them. It wasn't nice before and now it's just old and tiring. I say ask everyone who is whin...
Jump to postHonestly I don't get why this is a problem. They provide power at every seat, so you can keep your devices juiced up and ready to go throughout the flight. As long as you download a few movies/TV episodes you're solid.
Jump to postSQ seems to be directly taking the fight against its competitors in a more aggressive way than before. I suppose it realise the impending Project Sunrise threat from QF is going to undercut its profits soon. so gotta defend its turf to Europe. If that is the case, then Dublin and Madrid may be the ...

There's a lot of potential for it, obviously as a 757 replacement, but keep in mind it's also much more fuel efficient, and has commonality with a huge part of the Airbus lineup, not to mention its an A320 variant. That would allow current A320 family operators to convert/order some XLRs for long-ha...
Jump to postA huge upgrade to the current seats. Gotta say the color palette is a stunner as well (from the looks of it it's the Thompson Vantage, so the same as the Delta One Suites).

Jump to postYeah and then terrorists or fugitives are going to board under John Smith names and there is no way of knowing who they really are.

Jump to postThe best (and tbh only) choice they had for the 757 replacement when it comes to TATL. Also, I wouldn't be too surprised to see some LatAm flying from IAH or maybe DEN-HNL etc along with the obvious European expansion. Regarding the A350s, I wonder why they actually deferred them. The 350 is a fine ...
Jump to postBecause aviation still is a highly protectionist sector. Hopefully in 50 years the industry will be liberalized so that foreign airlines with access to cheaper labor and capital will serve US domestic routes. Yeah, let's destroy hundreds of thousands of American jobs so people can fly for 19 bucks ...

Jump to postThe basic difference between an A321 LR and a 787-9 is the 787 can fly double the distance and carry close to 400 passengers in an all nearly all economy configuration like Scoot's 787-9. The A321 LR is the new "hot thing" since TAP, Aer Lingus, JetBlue and SAS are using them, or soon wil...
Jump to postSo yall are telling me AS spent what I assume is millions of dollars on repainting and retrofitting 50+ A320 family jets (let's not forget some of them were just months old at the time) and they'll now just let them go. Yeah I'm not buying that for a milisecond
Jump to postYeah the blame is 100% on Lufthansa. After all they're the ones who oversee the entire US aviation industry and are supposed to prevent this from happening... Some of yall really try too hard to shift blame away from those who clearly are at blame. Also like someone else said, why are they not also...
