Nice order boost for both 787 and Boeing! I guess this will progressively replace their earlier B767 and B777.
Jump to postAlways curious to know why TK has so many configuration for A330 fleet. Must be quite a headache for fleet operation and planning team. Talk about configuration headaches; how about 3 different types of engines for the 330 fleet: -RR Trent 772B-60 -CF6-80E1A3 -PW 4168A Lolx, that too. Turkish Airli...
Jump to postGA was originally going to order the 777-200ER but delayed it due to the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, and it was converted to a 787 order, then once again to a 77W order that was eventually delivered.

Jump to postMost of the later ones are now with charter airlines, like the one previously in retro colours.

Jump to postWas reading missing aircraft online when I found this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varig_Flight_967
Apparently the Varig flight was never found to date. Possibly ditched into Pacific Ocean 40 years ago.
These are some I could think off. Some mentioned above, some of them order was placed but due to change in strategy or going busted, the airframe was never delivered: Continental Airlines A330/340 TWA B757-300/A318 Braniff A320 (grey area on this IMO, they did take delivery but went out of service f...
Jump to postI'll be flying TK for first time on my first visit to Turkey in April. It's FRA-IST in business on A330. I'm unsure of seats and their website is vague. Some places mention fully lie flat and other mentions angle lie flat. Can anyone confirm? Btw, it's A333 to IST and A332 return. This isn't a very...

So does anyone know where those extra A330s are coming from? Is SQ going to rtire their remaining A333s soon? And what about SU? They have retired three of theirs in the last few months. SU airframes seems to be going to Thai AirAsia X and Corsair. To maintain source consistency, AC might be going ...
Jump to postOh dear, this will not end up well, unless the rumoured China Government takeover turns out to be true.

MH8763 - looks like it's getting ready to depart again. EDIT: Destination KL by the looks.

1 and 3 are the same issue; the Boeing tanker contract; the second article regards an individual procurement officer bad apple that was definitely not reflective of Boeing corporate policy.

Jump to postThe fact that the crew mentioned that they need to stay "healthy" in order to provide service to all passengers is insinuating they are discriminatory in nature. Koreans are very ethnocentric like Japanese, if KLM doesn't handles them tactfully, it will lead to a PR meltdown. So far, no po...

Jump to postJetstar Pacific is basically Vietnam Airlines as they share a fleet. Indian airlines could use that capacity, and might just cover up the VN name short-term.

Jump to postNothing to be alarming about with this though due to coronavirus outbreak and recent big capacity addition by many airlines all over.
