Re: Air India Exploring DFW as its next US Destination?

Given that they didn't pick IAH which is a *A hub, I can only hazard a guess that AI is either looking to make a cross-alliance (see link) side deal with AA or banking on an adequate O&D traffic between DEL and DFW. They could've also made DFW a tag-on from IAH, but that would probably require a...

Re: Japan Airlines A350 collides with aircraft at HND

Possibly the CG crew may not have heard JAL cleared to land because they weren't on frequency yet. From the transcript JAL reads back clearance at 17:45:01, CG first call to tower at 17:45:11 They were on the tower frequency and in fact read back the hold short instruction from the Tower controller...

Re: AS to join OneWorld / AA to make SEA an Intl gateway

Yeah we have to see how AA does in this very challenging time. They have much bigger priorities now, sadly. Long term though i can see AA making SEA work for long haul flights, they have AS to feed them. In the challenging times ahead, less risk to fly Asia out of SEA than DFW or ORD. AS has the fe...
