Jump to postHi I've been seeing a lot more flexjet aircrafts flying overhead and on the ramps. Can anyone provide a breakdown of the Flexjet fleet (and NetJets fleet) how many they have of each model? Do they actually have any Gulfstream G500s or Gulfstream G600? I feel like I've seen a few G550 and G-V and Glo...

It's very nice to see the BA flight continuing to perform so well. Other carriers are noticing and someone will bite sooner rather than later.

Jump to postSimple answer would be that of the Big Three (American, United, and Delta), Delta's the only one not to have an ORD hub (Concourse L in Terminal 3 used to be their ORD hub for a time in the 1980s and 1990s, but they closed it because it was too costly to operate and they were at too much of a disad...

Jump to postWith regards to the added VCE flying next summer, why is ATL getting the extra 3 weekly flights instead of JFK. Is it because they couldn't get slots in New York?
