Can't read it, being located in Europe. But the author should know that the plural of aircraft is aircraft.
Jump to postI would think there are at least some air cargo demand to sustain cargo flights? Which can be covered by UPS, FedEx etc. Maybe for the boxes, but the actual freight, not really. Airlines aren’t flying cargo in the cabin because it’s fun. You must not be too familiar with the operations and capabili...
Jump to postFunny how even in these times, when air traffic is so limited, Indonesia always pops up with issues.

Nobody forced these guys to sign up to work for this airline. Hardly surprising that a subsidy of an LCC would be forced to take paycuts before the parent company.

I read a headline (behind a paywall) that Royal Brunei aren't happy with their 787-8's and they just refitted them with crew bunks. Not sure what the issue is but they leased a Wamos Air A332 for the BWN-DXB route and now a HiFly A330 neo replaced it. Not sure what the issue is or if these leases a...

Jump to postI am flying JFK-MAD-LIS and the JFK-MAD sector on an IB A-340, MAD-LIS sector an A320/321 and the return MAD-JFK on IB is on an A330. UA and other airlines on that route use narrowbodies. I am not a big guy (5'4"/164 cm) but for sure prefer widebodies for the ride, easier access to the loo's. ...
Jump to postI saw one holding over London on a Sunday in late July. Filling the gaps for the grounded MAXes. I should think they could use the space, use of E195 to LHR seems like a waste of slots, especially given the size of the Polish community in UK and growing business ties. Both of which will soon decrea...

Isn't this where airlines are different from most other businesses? The customer should always come first. They pay for everything. They are number 1 above all else. Forget all this "if you didn't have pilots you wouldn't have an airline" crap. It's true, but customers drive the demand ab...

I flew CGN-SEN return two weeks ago. Outbound the LF was about 60%, the return flight was close to full.
SEN as such is a nice airport, but I don't see a lot of demand from the inbound side. I believe I was the only non-local on either flight.
Planes are going to be camera’d up for evidence purposes soon enough and should be equipped with a holding area in the belly of the plane. I flew China Southern recently, long haul.

For DL flights, at least, you don't have to pick up and recheck your bags if you're connecting to another international flight - so maybe that's what the F/A was referring to, but mistakenly mentioned not having to go through immigration as well.
