Hysteria, like this thread? Things like this happen everyday. Unfortunately it’s trendy to put the spotlight on them now. This panel is pretty much cosmetic.

Jump to postWow, this is surprising.. ET's 77Ws are 399 seats in a 9ab configuration.. Unless they plan on adding more premium seats the 779 will be north of 460 seats..

Jump to postI can even see the 787-10 at Delta in a few years, replacing the A330ceo fleet. By the way the 787-10 already receives it's update, but it's just a slight MTOW bump, adding a few hundred nm of range. Nothing fancy enough to market it as an -ER. But a serious upgrade is still possible, look what Boei...

Jump to posteasyJet has always used Jet Bridges, or more precise: they have never not used Jet Bridges at all. However Ryanair, who normally never used jet Bridges, tends to use Jet Bridges more and more often, at least here in HAM. https://s20.directupload.net/images/user/240201/temp/4epsd4cv.webp
Jump to postHello, are there any news regarding the Seat Layout of the A321XLR? A few month ago there were talks about the XLR receiving 28 Business Class seats. This pretty much matches the 757 PS and may be used for some markets. However I keep reading that United wants to expand into secondary European marke...

Jump to postWhen it comes to destinations UA could add or re-add on the TATL front, I think it's more likely we see EWR-HAM flights return with the A321XLRs or 788s. I think the thing working against HAM is the fact that A++ probably already has 80%+ market share on US-HAM. If they don't fly HAM to the US some...

Yes, this is the first hull loss for the A350.

Jump to postDL has always been quite conservative with their the size of their J cabins compared to AA and UA, no? DL's 747s had 48 D1 as well. I do not see DL going beyond that number. Unlike the other legacies, DL certainly focuses on quality over quantity! Not in the late 1990s, I can remember the new confi...
Jump to postConsidering no F class on the A359, it's pretty easy to deduce they will start on routes that are currently seeing the 77L, and don't require F.

Jump to postI think the 787-10 is ideal for EK to secondary European cities where you do not need the capacity or payload/range of an A380 or 77W.

Operations are slowly starting to resume. Finnair sent an A330-300 to pick up all the stranded passengers. TAP was planning to send an A330-900, but the flight got canceled as it was about to takeoff from LIS before the drama has ended.
Bremen got a diversion as well. I'm surprised so many flights were launched. Ryanair included. Well it's a tough decision. NOTAM says the airport is closed until midday.
