Regarding the decals, some of these are only applied for short time frames to coincide with news worthy events - like a sticker for an airline taking a team to the World Cup or Olympics, or like the DHL pic posted above. How much discretion do the screeners have regarding the news worthiness of stic...

Jump to postDont understand this buyout at all. Anything AE were doing IB/IAG could have just done without all the expense of buying and integrating. It cant all be about expanding South America when BA have essentially culled South America. IAG should let this go.... It makes sense if you look at it from the ...

Jump to postAny indications what will happen to the IB 340s? Maybe a good time to retire but also seems like with fuel as cheap as it is, may be better to return leases and defer deliveries to lower cash expenditure since they are owned outright. Similar situation to the 747's at BA I believe. Accelerated reti...
Jump to postAnyone managed to figure out what is culled from the single aisle delivery stream. The Airbus O&D tables list a total of 70 outstanding A320 Family deliveries for BA, EI, IB and VY to which add the 3 aircraft delivered to BA earlier this year. No idea how many of any were due post 2022. The IAG...
Jump to postI notice nobody mentions the 49% Delta own, and the money they take out of the airline. Nooooo, it's only ever Bransons fault.

Jump to postWhen were the 747s due to retire before all of this? Had they been due to retire in the next few years anyway and the original A330s to go, it would be interesting to know what they were planning as their replacements. Or were the current A330-300s due to stay longer with no decision on their repla...
Jump to postC-GSAT operated TS724/5 to GLA today. Depending on how quickly Air Transat suspend their remaining services, there is a possibility today was last ever A310 visit to GLA.
Jump to postThe BA source also has the BA123 LHR-DOH diverting to Athens due to ATC restrictions in Iraq on the same date.
I would suggest that the 2 diversions are probably linked.
If the aircraft is leased, the leasing company usually pays the outstanding airport fees in order to get the aircraft back and prepped for their next client. Wow.

Jump to postCouple of questions spring to mind: 1. Does this require regulatory approvals in US, EU or other jurisdictions (India?).

I think it’s a combination of both. Some times they will post advertising that they are looking for new screeners and asking for applications, other times it is invitation only. The photography feedback forums seems a good place to start if you want to become a screener. I’ve noticed that some of th...

Jump to postDoes anyone you know shoot with the D850 or 5DIV, that could let you have a try to see how you find either system before committing cash to buying one or the other?
If not, your sort or stuck with trying out in a local camera store or a Best Buys.
Some good ones from past couple of days.
Really unusual to see desert camo and a snowy backdrop.
I view this as Virgin / Flybe creating a London network that they can then use as leverage saying their customers want to fly to LHR to connect to VS/DL but can't due to lack of slots and how much better they could compete against BA if they had LHR slots.

Jump to postThe leasing company who own the aircraft will have a list of preferred maintenance companies and locations which they want to use following the repossession of the aircraft, and to prepare it for its next lease. They'll probably choose the one that can accommodate them at the earliest opportunity.
Jump to postVS have been saying for a while that they should have first dibs on new slots that would be created as a consequence of a 3rd runway. Currently it's proposed that the slots created by the 3rd runway will go to New entrants to the LHR market such as easyJet who have already said they want slots if a ...

Many thanks. I'll have a look through the sequence to see if there is one without the nose gear blocked.
Noted the comment about the brightness needing adjusted lower.

There is a small fence that runs along the length of the taxiway over the canal that partially covers the wheels. It is not possible to take this particular shot without part of the wheels being blocked by that ...

Many thanks.
I'll have a go at re-editing the Emirates and the CAF challenger.
The other 2 the softness at the tail is due to depth of field - shot at F4.

As a punt I tried uploading a night panning shot of an A380 which Emirates have recently started flying to GLA.

Jump to postWhen does the Icelandic stock exchange open?
I suspect any announcement will be tied to the opening of that due to regulatory requirements.
On EDI-KEF, WOW were up against easyJet as the incumbent carrier, with AA, DL, UA and Norwegian all offering non stop flights to the USA at the time.
FI fly GLA-KEF where they have no competition to KEF and the transatlantic flights out of GLA are seasonal summer only.
Would you bet on this? The Reports alone may deliver the final blow for WOW Air I would yes. Irresponsible reporting only one flight canceled the rest of the schedule is operating as normal. Anyone who bought tickets for the up coming few weeks probably bought them a while ago so there is no danger...

Thanks. I guess it comes down to budget. I hadn't expected the 100-400L to jump in price so much. I think I got my first one for just over £1k.
