The media release said rollout will start in March, first in digital media. Physical rollout will be slow, with an emphasis on things being changed when they naturally have to, in order to keep costs down. Nothing stated about livery. Norwegians livery is outdated, and could use a refresh. Seems the...

Jump to postI'd be surprised if LHR allow them to move to T3, considering that they basically pushed AF and KL back over to T4 due to T3 congestion concerns. Wouldn't really be fair. That was under the masterplan of ST at T4, *A at T2 and OW at T3. Now, with VS recently having joined ST, that has changed the p...

So much inconsistency. What “inconsistency” are you seeing? Across the fleet between the QSuite and reverse herringbone. The 77W fleet too - they have a staggering six different configurations, with a mix of seats (some with QSuites, some without). At least they generally separate the fleet. If you...
Jump to postI’m surprised EK have never looked at a DXB-PER-AKL service, perhaps in conjunction with QF. Now with Batik on the route, probably even less likely though. I'm assuming it had to do with PER being a nicely timed destination with only a few hours on the ground in Perth, while flying trans-tasman fro...
Jump to postI’m skeptical on without data on the 90% suggestion for tech stops. Even 750k is 1hr of flying time, surely they won’t be flying that close to the line - holding into SYD and LHR can get nasty, plus winds. They will do a bit of planning for holding or other expected delays. Doesn't mean they can sw...
Jump to postA few years ago, a Norwegian 737-8Max spent a long time on the ground in Iran after an emergency landing, as getting the parts it required was a difficult task due to sanctions in Iran at the time.

Jump to postI am a bit surprised that DY continues to operate many flights, at least here in Copenhagen (as do Ryanair). I cannot imagine there are many passengers on those flights. It must cost them a fortune. AFAIK they haven't announced any major cancellations, only the 3000 flights which is no where near t...
Jump to postYou mean leasing to other airlines out there? They are currently leasing aircraft from other air operators to cover some of their routes. You'll see less of this, as Norwegian will be able to use their own aircraft. So, won't be parking planes yet. Their capacity will remain stretched, at least unt...

Jump to post5000ft and requesting descent doesn't sound like normal ops.
If they had trouble, it is odd that nothing was communicated, but perhaps it allowed a controlled descent (which could end it them being found alive).
PER is an interesting one- what aircraft did they fly in when it was a 3 daily?
