The Club Europe seat comfort and seat pitch are significantly below the US mainline carriers and Air Canada. It’s a disgrace to be paying much more to sit in Club Europe and have the same seat pitch and width as in economy. - Not really a disgrace, having the middle seat free is nice, I’ve never ha...

I believe the A380 fleet was stored in MAD during the COVID shutdown period?
All 3 of my BA A380 flights were on-time or nearly LY as I recall, was nice to be back on the big bird.

Jump to postI thought it was quite good myself, saw it this afternoon.
Got a number of well known faces in there.
That’s quite a lot on metal to loose, lots to find a way to backfill unless they are going to reduce flying from the bases they operate from.
Jump to postMainline A319/320’s from LHR have traditionally helped out during peak times or cover service to G-GAT fleet, not seen that any of those are leaving the fleet yet unless there are lease expirations coming up soon.

Such a shame, the Chinese politics never made this viable for CZ.
Still, glad I managed to fly on a CZ A380, even if it was domestically.

So realistically, you are left with British or JAL because Etihad seems reluctant to take theirs, - I expect EY to take the rest in due course with the 77W’s & 380’s being fully retired No. These have significant, unsupported assumptions that (1) it must be an existing A350-1000 customer and (2...

Any new orders or any news of potential orders ? It seems to have all gone quiet on the E2 front, are they struggling to find buyers? I saw a Luxair E190 the other day and thought how the E2 would be a perfect jet for an airline like them - Luxair, they don’t operate E190’s? - unless it’s a sublease?

I expect most if not all will end up with Vueling. Thankfully they won’t work for BA @ LHR without significant costly infrastructure changes, I don’t see that happening. They could put some @ LGW with BA, but they ramp up the summer and move aircraft from LHR, so that won’t work well operational. Do...

Jump to postKnowing VS, it will probably be a route already served by BA which they hope to take traffic from, can’t see if being anything new, most of the major cities, pre COVID, were pretty much served by AA, BA,DL, UA & VS.
Jump to postWill be lots of delays, my AA flight sat for over an hour after landing before being re-assist new gate away from the main terminal.
Traffic in the area was gridlocked once I got out, so knock-on effects will be significant.

As Woody mentioned above, Blue Air has taken delivery of YR-MXA and flew away today.
Neos has taken delivery of 2 aircraft. EI-RZA/RZB
Still plenty of young 77W’s that are years off replacement, the ones at Saudi are a perfect example, plenty there to replace when the time comes.
I’m sure the 779 will pick up more orders as time ticks on, just don’t see it selling as well as the 77W did.
I don’t think Boeing have delivered any 787’s in a few months, talk of production/quality control issues.....

Jump to postTraffic numbers are going to be soft for years, Frequencies will be much reduced so lots of spare slots, it makes sense to consolidate short haul traffic @ LHR.
There is little connecting traffic on the BA LGW beach fleet so no real need to maintain LGW short haul to be brutally honest.
The problem with transatlantic LCC's is that outside of the summer all the legacy carriers essentially dump economy seats into each others hubs at laughably low prices to fill seats which is made viable by the high and stable business class fares.
