It looks like Addis Ababa, Kuala Lumpur and Johannesburg are scrapped altogether. A lot of increases have also been cancelled. I guess AH realised it had an ambitious and unrealistic expansion plan.

Question is which of the alliances could benefit from Tunisair network? Meanwhile spare parts crisis hit hard the last few days. 1x A330, 1x A319 and 6x A320 including 3x Neos are grounded due to lack of parts. Any idea when this issue will be resolved? The NEOs are rather new airframes so it's a b...
Jump to postAnd about North Africa?! This is a market is still untapped by ET. ALG, CMN and TUN could be served by 7M8 with flights continuing to other secondary European destinations such as LYS, BCN or LIS.

Jump to postAUH can be served with 1 aircraft as well because of the shorter sector length. Perhaps 1x AUH could replace one of the 3x DXB services BA runs, particularly with BA soon putting the 380 on 1x of its DXB flights. The question is why would BA do that. They already sell those flights to DXB and seemi...

Jump to postI noticed on the 787, if you have a misaligned window, you lose a lot of shoulder space. So when picking a seat, you hope to find a window that is at your shoulder. That’s a problem when you want to sleep. I’d rather have the window a bit in front so that I can place the pillow against the wall for...
Jump to postThanks but it looks like that 767 is only used in those flight ranges…
On the arrival board at Tunis yesterday, the flight was not displayed. Quite curious to know who are these flights flown for.
Been following the last ET 767 passenger aircraft ET-ALP. From what I have seen it has been flying random routes and visiting Tunis yesterday where I have seen a full crew exiting the airport (8 cabin crews). The 767 did the following route in the last 2 days. Beirut-Tunis (night stop) Tunis-Bangui-...

Pitch is in fact a safety issue in case of a crash landing. There will probably be many more broken legs the smaller the pitch is.

Jump to postI flew easyJet 12 times during the plague years - catering only on 2 of those and you didn’t always get an email.

Jump to postGood riddance. The UK CAA was always full of itself and considered itself god´s (or the Queen´s ) gift to aviation.

A much-needed evolution (revolution?) for one of the finest full-service carriers not to have a widebody fleet. All the renders by @LoneSky are on point, judging by what we can see, and the tail design is a new take on the two seagulls. The one thing that isn’t correct is the font used for the titl...
Jump to postApparently Tunisair has lost 6 of 8 slots at LHR and 2 of 6 at LGW. So there will be ablt to fly to Heathrow once a week and Gatwick twice a week. So to me it doesn't make sense to continue operating to LGW and LHR. They should relocate to STN or LTN. A bit off topic but easyJet and Nouvelair will s...
Jump to postYou can't lease out or sell slots until you have earned grandfather rights to them, so Norwegian are basically in a position where they have to fly these if they want to do anything. The slots have been allocated from the pool, and so Norwegian have not had to pay for them. Every year, there's a ve...
Jump to postAny source to that?
It seems also that easyJet has requested some slots at Tunis Carthage airport. We may finally see another airline than Tunisair on the London route.
According to Tunisair CCO, the rumour of the airline loosing its Heathrow slots is neither true nor false! Talks are in progress with ACL and there is also a diplomatic relay to try to keep the four weekly LHR slots available. According to him, the weekend slots are more likely to go. If so, there ...
