Anyone knows why this BSC3 from FCO to CDG ended up in BVA?? It wasn't a go around... it flew straight into Beauvais... how weird.
Wow 3x daily JFK-FCO, that’s impressive! Wonder how much of that is traffic going to Rome vs connecting onwards with ITA? Will be interesting to see if DL downsizes at FCO at all if/when ITA joins Star Alliance. I honestly think they’ll be able to keep all if not almost all of their capacity there ...

So thus, if flying in Y, why sho...

Not sure if QR still has money to burn, but they clearly showed interest in the Italian market previously with the Meridiana experiment.

Well i don't find it that hard to apply. Let's say that there is a AF A350 that goes to BOS and a DL A350 that goes to JFK taking off approximately at the same time from CDG: one could be the lead for the other if the schedule is correctly optimized for the most part of the trip. Of course, if one i...
