My apologies if this has been asked or discussed already but do all RR-powered 787 customers experience problems or are there still a few who don't have problems? If so, how come one airline does have these problems while another one doesn't?

I actually like it, well done and congrats to Austrian.

The Peruvian cargo airline who operated these DC-8's did quite a few cargo charters from Peru to Curacao last year. See my photo here:
N804AV has been painted at AUH and has arrived now in Colombia. https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/933/40741215305_18caebd638_b.jpg Wow, nice to see an A333 in Avianca colors but they could have painted the airline titles larger. It looks small on this A333. All the best to Avianca and their A333's. A388

Jump to postAA does the same here too. We get twice daily A319 flights from MIA which means less seats and higher fares especially now that they are the only airline on the route. Ticket fares can easily reach around 500 and 600 U.S. Dollars from Curacao to Miami. I still hope we do get the 737MAX here at some ...
Jump to postI think this delivery routing has to do with the wind direction. When we got ERJ190 delivery flights passing us (CUR) the routing used depended on the wind direction (it was either a routing from South America to Australia via North America and the Pacific or a routing from South America to Australi...
Jump to postAnd before ypu know it, this airline will be swallowed by one of the big airlines after a take-over. I hope it won't happen of course but it usually ends up this way when a smaller becomes too succesful
I like this new livery, it catches the attention whether it's good or bad.

Guys, based on the press release of IAG themselves, it seems to me that IAG is saying that they are not having talks with Norwegian and that they don't plan to buy a minority stake in Norwegian. Their release says IAG " has acquired a 4.61 per cent ownership position in the airline (minority i...

I do know that TUI uses Montego Bay and Barbados as home ports for their cruise ships in the Caribbean but I'm not sure how it works precisely. About the airports being able to handle the A380, I think at the moment they can't but I can imagine if an airline commits to flying the A380 to any airport...
Jump to postTalking about TUI, they do have a lot of cruise ship related flights to Montego Bay, Jamaica and Barbados I think Barbados also gets TUI charter flights related to cruise ships. They might be able to fill an A380 for these flights but that would only be on one leg of the flight which means the A380 ...
Jump to postPR will be getting the improved version of the A350-900 soon too, is that correct? Will the A350 eventually take over this route?

I also like the new wavy livery of UA introduced ln their 787. On the MAX it looks equally nice and they should apply it to their entire fleet in my opinion. Well done UA!!!!

Congrats to HiFly on this historical achievement!!!! I assume that A380 will be flying for one airline for a longer period instead of doing only occasional flight for more airlines when they need it?

Jump to postThanks Brickell, I was under the impression that more Caribbean destinations get the A319, SXM also gets a mix of A319 and 738. AA still has a decent fleet of 738's that are relatively young and what I remember the MAX will replace the MD80 and early A320's in their fleet. I thought the MAX would ev...
Jump to postThanks for the explanations. Other destinations may have such flights but it's a bit different in the cases mentioned such as BOG and LIM. While BOG may have similar flight times, they have daylight flights too but GEO will only have one flight. LIM I think is much further away compared to GEO so th...

Regarding SJU, there's no traffic to/from SJU that would require the capacity of the A380, not even the 77W (outside the U.S. major carriers). There are other Caribbean islands that I see the A380 going to before SJU. PTP and FDF being the only potential future A380 destinations in the Caribbean in ...

So IndiGo might keep the A338 alive with their interest to order 50 frames? I read somewhere that UA is also interested in the A338 and even AA was mentioned if I remember correctly. Is this actually true?

747Classic, FrancisBegbie and na, I totally understand what you're saying and I know that eventually we will see their 77W to the Dutch Caribbean. My only point was that we always get the oldest aircraft types which is done for reasons you mentioned already. Talking about using the greatest and late...
Jump to postFactsonly we've been through this already. What I meant was aircraft type. I'm not blind or whatever to know that they also send the A330. I know that. I'm talking about the 744 in general and not which one of them is older or younger.

KLM is historically known to put its oldest airplanes on their Dutch Caribbean routes so sadly this schedule change doesn't surprise me.

Hi, I just got my TK Cargo 777 rejected for being soft. I mentioned in the photo comments that the flaps were being deployed when I took this photo which explains why those areas are soft. The rest of the photo isn't soft so please let me know your opinion: http://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/airlin...
Jump to postInteresting, that does look good. I'm anxiously awaiting to see the unveiling too I know the image is purposely blurred but still the tail colors blending with each other looks similar to what TS did with their new livery change. Nice!!!!

Nice livery but as someone else also said, I'm also looking more forward to seeing the first NEO's and sharklet A310's getting the standard AS livery. When is this planned?

Is it definitive that KL will start sending the 77W to CUR this winter season already? PH-BFY and PH-BFN are scheduled for phase out all the way in 2021 and these two 747's fly to CUR a lot as they are configured as full pax aircraft. Why would KL stop sending these two 747's to CUR so soon? Or will...

Jump to postI wonder why this 787 is sent to be parked so soon. Was this 787 one of the so-called terrible teens?

Jump to postI think LH526 has it right. That looks to be the new tail logo when comparing it with the tail photo with the gap showing the partial LH logo. Now I wonder what the rest of the aircraft will look like. Maybe just a different type of letter font in larger format on the all-white fuselage?
A388
I also see the MAD-BOG route as an important A350 destination. It's a big market that is served about 3 times a day by their competitor AV which uses modern equipment too (787). It wouldn't surprise me that IB will send the A350 to BOG sooner rather than later. Just my opinion.
A388
Strong rumors in ME that they are negotiating sending their 77Fs to EK along with pilots. Interesting!!! Didn't EK move 747Fs to Atlas or someone else? EK never operated the 744F themselves.

The KL and AF narrowbody fleets are big enough to have them operate Boeing and Airbus narrowbody aircraft. No need to streamline this to one aircraft manufacturer as that adds unnecessary costs to these airlines.

AR could so combine Aruba and Curacao in one flight from Buenos Aires. That would make the flight more succesful.

Great I didnt even know Avianca will be flying to Munich in 2018. So Munich now has or will have LH A350s and LH A380s being based there too and these two airlines (wanting to) fly to Munich. Am I missing anything here?
