Re: Oregon Aviation - 2024

From what I have understood/heard...the port wasn't exactly happy with all the 47s on the taxi way E/Boeing ramp/rwy03. The port could be showered with praise and get major interest from a new airline because of a situation like this, and they would still S%(# all over them and limit services like ...

I think the cargo diversions were the first non-stop flights to Asia since COVID. We've had no scheduled service and the CX cargo flights stop in ANC.

Re: Oregon Aviation - 2023

Condor starts today on their new A330-900 and new livery. Will be interesting to see it in person for the first time. Is this the first time an A339 is making it's way to PDX also? Or have we seen a diversion from Seattle on DL? Also, I'm curious, does Condor send a crew out a day or so before the ...

If I'm not mistaken UPS does not use nose tethers and they do just fine without them Actually my station has been using the weight cart and tether system on the MD-11 only for about ~7months now. I also have to argue that the plane will still tip.....the weight cart is there to stop it form touchin...

Re: Cessna SkyCourier Development and Testing Thread

Just gonna throw this out of left field. Something I've been thinking about since this aircraft has been announced. What's the likelihood of Amazon buying a couple for communities just out of trucking reach but not big enough for 737 or 767? Amazon has warehouses scattered all throughout America so...

Re: Peak Season 2020 Cargo/Express Discussion Thread

Do we have any reporting on the current Peak metal that has been brought in by UPS and FEDEX and where they are flying? I know FEDEX has a standing contract with Atlas for multiple 747s. I know sky lease is working with ups. One of their 744s did a SDF-PDX-SDF yesterday and should be doing this for...

Re: Peak Season 2020 Cargo/Express Discussion Thread

Got talking with some of the UPS sups in PDX. Sky lease and Asia pacific are both expected start up on the 14th and 15th respectively to Portland. Sky lease will semi replace the WGN MD11 doing its 8pm run from SDF and rolls over to the morning. MGE is doing a early morning and a midday flight into...

Re: Peak Season 2020 Cargo/Express Discussion Thread

N543JN is currently doing a SDF-PDX flight for UPS atm as wgn2976. So it does seem that a few of the WGN mds are swinging both ways.

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2019

Do you have any information you could share regarding additional UPS flights? Are these frequency increases or new routes? Last I was told for the PM bank of flights. That it is a mix of new flights and time adjustments to the point there is a very high chance of seven UPS aircraft being on the gro...

Looks like Amazon has added an additional BWI-PDX daily routing for a combined total of 4......Nice seeing some other cargo tails beside UPS and FDX... Also of note it appears Amazon added a morning MIA arrival. I've been watching these flights...consistently for a week now the new BWI and MIA arri...
