Some of PAL international flights will be moved to both T1 and T3 . Best guest T1 will be dedicated to long-haul flights ...
Jump to postNot much of a difference in seat count between the 339 and the 359 hence the speculation that DL would need something smaller, closer in size to the 763. That's a lot of seats to fill and may limit your destinations when your smallest wide body has 262 seats.....

No. Unlike the path of the T4-TBIT connector, there is a lot of infrastructure associated with the baggage handling systems along the path of a hypothetical T3-TBIT connector. I'm unaware of there having been a programmatic change to the T3 redevelopment. Judging from the descriptions provided by t...

There was also a HKG-BKK in 1997-98 instead of HKG-SIN. It only lasted about a year or so then it switched back to HKG-SIN. Aircraft was 744.

With so many new Maxes destined for Chinese airlines, perhaps they are getting ready to start taking delivery again ? Otherwise, why build the airplanes ?

Very nice for you to get CS-TQX at VCV. It made a visit to LAX about 3 years ago. It actually has a passenger interior and was used for flight to MAD mostly. It was used as a VIP plane before P4-SKN was delivered but with regular interior. I think i have seen some pics of the interior on their Faceb...

PR could easily get a lot of 789s for cheap as there are lot of ex-Norwegian parked in the dessert. No need to buy new expensive 338s when they can get better long haul planes that are already built. But I don't see PR adding any planes at this time.....

Why would any airline want to buy a new 777-200LR? There are plenty of them parked in the desert. If I owned the production slot for that plane, I would sell it to an airline that flues the 777F. It's not an airline order. It's an order from Turkmenhowayollary Agency (Turkmenistan State) probably f...

I'm quite sure Boeing will slot a 77W or 77L in the production line should any new orders come, but that's unlikely now given the travel downturn.

Well, it's official, Delta is going to be expediting the renovation at LAX with the whole thing done (T2/T3/TBIT connector) in mid 2023.

In the 70's you had TW760/761 SFO-LAX-LHR-CDG all 747. There were also 747's between ORD and LAS in the 70's. In 1980 there was TW904/903 JFK-MAD-BCN. MAD-BCN was really short.
