PW1100G at podding in Toulouse (above), Leap-1A at Villaroche (below)
Hot campaign for MSN3 is, I believe, being carried out at Al Ain in the UAE.

Jump to postFlightglobal ran a story a few days back about issues between the two, but it's subscription-only.
Jump to postSensationalism aside, it's worth having a look at the replay around 23:20UTC. The two other flights he mentions in the blog were actually quite a distance north at the time of the incident. But there is evidence of another aircraft (US432) which, having been undisplayed, makes a sudden appearance ju...

"Air Berlin PLC is currently in advanced discussions on options, which, if implemented, would have a substantial effect of the company. The company therefore postpones its annual press conference and the analysts & investors conference from 20 March 2014 to 27 March 2014."

Jump to postI'd like to know how much Interjet is paying for its aircraft.
Jump to postAs listed by FAA dockets:
"Airbus proposes the Model A350-900 series to be certified for extended operations (ETOPS) beyond 180 minutes at entry into service for up to a 420-minute maximum diversion time."
Rolls-Royce and Boeing have previously discussed 420min ETOPS, I understand, but the real issue isn't so much the approval but finding the application for it.
Jump to postIt's an order originally placed in 2001, so I suspect it's not really $1 billion worth.
Jump to postBoeing's 777 test pilot once told me that winglets were considered for the current model, but that they'd have needed to be extremely tall.

Jump to postBoeing's huge model of the aircraft, unveiled at the Dubai show after the formal launch, still had the 'X' tag.
When asked if they'd drop it, Boeing said it "had time" to come up with the final name. Which doesn't mean it won't be 777-8 and -9.
