I see on planespotters.net, on the Delta site, that they are showing a future A339 with a different cabin config… instead of the usual C29/W28/Y224 config for all the first 20 + frames, they show a C32/W46/Y184 config for a future frame. Anyone know about this and how many are going to be configure...
Jump to postThey scramble to turn the aircraft late at night. If they take a delay its delayed until the morning. The airport closes at 2 AM. That's one of the reasons DL now arrives in 6 AM and leaves 8 AM back to US..
Jump to postI remember her in ATL around 1997 on the south cargo ramp. It was packed full of cigarettes going back to Europe.
Jump to postAnother Item that nobody mentions is Cash. I have seen 4 LD3 cans filled with bricks of cash. Each brick was 100K and each LD3 can had over 100 bricks inside them. Being shipped from the Fed reserve bank. Armor car, police and bank officials making sure it got all loaded.
Jump to postLets not forget that Norman Mineta had the inside track. He kept mentioning NW and DL would make great merger in late 2005 and early 2006.

Most of the winter fruit and vegetables are shipped up from South America to US and Europe. The flowers for Valentine's come South America. Gold is also shipped out of South America. AA keeps those widebodies busy.

Jump to postWouldn't there be room for CRJs on A? I feel like I've seen CR9s on the side which used to be DC-9 city. I have flown into A many times on CRJs over the past few years. On those occasions, they all seemed to use the middle A gates, on the east side of the A concourse. That is why I find this reopen...
Jump to postOnly reason they didn’t suspend HAV is because the embassy is still open there. Gotta have the US carriers getting embassy people in and out of there.

looks official to me.
The flight was originally ATL-BOM if the state of GA renewed a jet fuel tax exemption. Since GA allowed the lapse and didn't renew they decide to place the flight at JFK instead. This is a shaky flight from the get go. If a fuel tax made it unprofitable out of ATL and now they dropped to 5X a week ...

Jump to postDid you happen to notice the DL release posted by the OP? DL clearly states connecting Hollywood with ATL's growing film industry. So no its not far fetched and giving the entire east coast access to BUR with one stop service is not main driver of this route. But Detroit already has a well establis...
Jump to postThe standard is going to be 191. They took 3 seats out to expand the galley. Which brought the count to 189. Marketing decided they needed to add 2 more seats. Those two seats added where front of the exit row.

The reason MCO-GRU was started was to help G3 out with their network. The number one destination Brazilians wanted to go was Orlando. Since at the time DL had those frequencies plus the equipment and G3 didn’t. Now that GOL can fly to MCO with the MAX it was a matter of time.
Jump to postWonder is Brasilia will come back? After all those frequencies where moved to MCO.

Jump to postThe announcement was made GRU-MCO is being discontinued. Interesting note they are starting ATL-ONT in April and adding a 2nd flight in June. Didn’t see that one coming.
Jump to postLet’s not forget Lisbon. Red line all the way.
Jump to postYeah, I don't understand the secrecy / suspense either. It could be as simple as they themselves still not yet knowing which one they'll finalize on. Based on the S19 schedule released so far, it looks a lot like ATL-BOM using the 77L. Routing a 77L through JFK would be problematic given where else...

Jump to post787 canceled order is the reason delta bought 737-900ER. It was the only way Boeing let them off the hook.
Jump to postEOH was the old international airport before MDE was constructed. Why couldn’t they make the exception?
Jump to postYeah the writing is on the wall for the MD-90’s Sending engines to the sole MRO in New Zealand isn’t good in keeping costs down. Delta is forced to write them a blank check since fighting with the MRO on price can cause them to close shop and would ground the MD90 fleet.
Jump to postSeveral people have repeated the same cities here. What are the rules? Is it an airport linked via a special train or line? (JFK, BKK, HKG). Are we looking for an airport that is intergrated into the public transit rail of the city? (SYD, SIN, ATL, PDX, SLC, MAD)

All the metro, trolley, light rails, subways around the world. I forgot Sydney is another one seat ride to downtown or the Opera house.
I would add PDX, LIS, BKK to the list.
