Re: Rolls Royce having more 787 problems

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?

Re: Caribbean aviation thread - 2018

AA 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 ...

I like this new livery, it catches the attention whether it's good or bad.
