Out of curiosity, what is stopping them from operating ADD-[Another African Airport]-LFW-[USA]? Could they get traffic rights between LFW and somewhere else?They could then connect pax from a single ADD-LFW to all their LFW-North America flights, similar to what QF used to do with JFK-LAX.

Also, HF is not a member of IATA Clearing House and insist on doing interlines through some dodgy french clearing system. ET has not had good experiences with...
Jump to postTK will increase JFK during peak season from 21 to 26 weekly flights.

Jump to postAmazingly hilarious that Southwind not only took the "opposite" name of the russian Northwind, but also ripped off their logo by literally taking the N and turning it sideways :D And thanks for the new thread :) Nordwind (the Russian carrier) is owned by Pegas Touristik (Ramazan Akpınar) ...
Jump to postNow if one of those flights to Turkey were to say, accidentally make its way to Greece, I could easily see a scenario where they impound the aircraft and stick the crew on the next oil tanker with a Russian flag on it headed back to Russia.

Probably a weather diversion - the fact that they loaded enough contingency fuel to circle KHE for a while and then return all the way back to IST means that the risk of diversion was known before departure..

Jump to postLooks like PAE is down to only 2 flights on AS - a morning departure to PHX and an afternoon to LAS. I'm a bit surprised to see no PDX or SFO flight to enable onward connectivity.

Missed April Fools Day by a month... A few issues: 1) SQ and UA are not in a JV agreement, and they vigorously compete on the USA-Singapore market. They have no incentive to cooperate on this route. In fact, SQ's primary interline/codeshare/FFP partner in the USA is AS, because they can't agree with...

Jump to postIf they're smart with their negotiation, this could be a good two-way door - if demand starts picking up strongly in the next couple years, they'll be poised to take advantage and if demand is slow to recover, they can look to defer or pressure Airbus to cut rate.
