What I find bizarre are the orders for 20 B788 and 15 B78X. I still can’t process the idea of Emirates ordering the B787-8!! I would not be surprised if they are place holder orders and all 787’s will be transferred to flydubai. Same owner remember and he has a lot of leverage with Boeing wrt all s...
Jump to postThat is insane tbh. That’s as close to an near accident as you want to come. It was highly unstable at points and should have never been allowed all the way to a touchdown. I do hope TAP inspects the aircraft, calls the crew in for tea without biscuits and seriously reminds all their crews ‘to not c...

Jump to postIf you think MOL is not being serious here, think again. Every airline with Boeing 737 airplanes on order feels the pinch as planes are heavily delayed. The 737 output is just over halve that of the A320 with no major rise over the next months or even year +. It is a major headache at the moment. An...

Jump to postSo we already know it’s gonna be 787/350&777X. All three. The number variation doesn’t really matter much tbh. It’s what we want and what we need plus a bit of politics. Big, bigger, biggest. Simple. They fly A350’s to DXB and EK takes the A380 to Doha. (Pre-blockade) Demand is there but just go...

Jump to postIf you are going to order anything it needs to do the job for you for the next 2+ decades so it has to be future proof and something the 787 family can not do currently. And that's where the A350 comes in. A simple step up from the 787. But who knows, we might see the 777X if they want to stick to B...
Jump to postI guess this also has to do with the fact that 'competitor' Salam Air (using that term loosely as both airlines are owned by (in the case of Salam Air partially) state-owned investment firms) will be getting some very high density A330neos later this year - I can only really wonder what the future ...
Jump to postAirbus will do everything it can to get the A350 in as it blocks another potential 777X customer from ordering this big new twin. And there are very few customers options for Boeing so it will be a big win for Airbus. The 787 is not a competitor to the A350. It all depends on if AA wants to upgauge ...
Jump to postPretty interesting additions. Although something isn't right with the Basel block times which show 8:10 on the outbound but 5:30 on the inbound. 8:10 obviously looking more correct (and putting it in the top 3 longest 737 Max8 routes I believe).

Jump to postThe -10 is optimized for its role. Above it sits the 77X family. Unfortunately the whole family has been stretched thin due to the loooong project delays. But the idea is sound. The A359/K sits in that 777 segment, not the 787. Hence Airbus had to do that tripple bogey etc to make it their top tier ...
Jump to postLooks like QR is adding 1 more daily flight in the morning to DXB starting from next Monday. At the same time FZ is adding an extra daily flight late in the evening. I'm sure this isn't public but I wonder what are the conditions of the agreement limiting the addition of more flights (and no, it is...
Jump to postI wonder when we'll see launch a third daily service to DUB. Or even a service to BFS. Lack of parking stands for the 77W means that the only slot available at the minute is from 0530 to 0715. The timings don't work, so no 3rd daily for the foreseeable.

Wrt Emirates and the 787. Expected delivery is rumored to be late 2024 or in 2025 but is there anything known when we can expect to see assembly starting? Usually based on LN’s we can ‘guestimate’ when we’ll start seeing things appear.
Jump to postThey should just open up secondary cities in Germany for flydubai use. Eurowings is allowed to DXB from Stuttgart so why not allow reciprocal at least. I understand giving EK acces to Berlin but many secondary cities could sustain service to DXB by flydubai.
