Since when has AY decided to get rid of their A319? Is this true? According to our all reliable wikipedia they are to be replaced by a321s. It seems strange AY doesn't want to replace the A319s with something of similar size. What will happen to the a320s? Neo coming sometime soon to the AY fleet?

This year Finnair will receive seven new A321s and some of the A319s will leave the fleet. Their new short haul strategy will be released later this spring, they need more SH capacity to serve the growing A350 fleet.

Was surprised to see it when on final approach into MLA yesterday evening. It was parked by some hangars. It was in full AY colors, so if it is changing owners they haven't repainted it yet.

100 is the full number ordered by the group which will be delivered to Arctic Aviation Assets. I.e their leasing and aircraft owning company. Of these 100, 30 (all A321neos (LR)) will be delivered and operated by Norwegian

AFAIK this is not really true, and is a PR spin when comparing S16 vs S17, when they claim they increase LGW-OSL from 20x to 24x weekly.
Last summer Norwegian operated up to 4x daily OSL-LGW, not sure if it was fully 28x weekly or a little less. When Ryanair starter STN-OSL (3x daily) in November, Norwegian reduced LGW-OSL to 3x daily (or 20x weekly). So this "increase" is not vs last year capacity. Just their W16/17

From the Bombardier CSeries thread:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=574685&start=1400

Paolo92 wrote:
Malmö Aviation (now BRA - Braathens Regional Aviation) has frozen the contract for its CSeries aircraft, according to Swedish newspaper SvD.
This is due to a new climate tax that will see 80SEK (8.5EUR / 9 USD) levied on every national flight, 280SEK (29.4EUR / 31USD) on international flights and 430SEK (45EUR / 47.7USD) on intercontinental flights.
source in Swedish: Swedish government's aviation tax gets companies to freeze giant contracts


This tax seems to be on par with the one introduced in Norway, except for the international and intercontinental flights. How is this going to affect SAS? Will we see more long haul routes being moved from ARN to CPH or OSL? 430SEK tax on intercontinental flights is extremely hostile to air travel.

I presume CPH will be happy. But keep in mind that it so far is only a proposed tax.

I'm glad to hear it's only a proposal, but still very bad news for the air travel industry if implemented. A nearly 50USD tax on intercontinental routes is huge, and would be a severe disadvantage for ARN against CPH/OSL/HEL.

The tax has been proposed by the government, but I'm not sure how great their chances are on getting the parliament to pass it. The government (Social democrats + Green party) only has 138 out of 349 seats in the parliament. The Left party are likely to support the government, and the four Alliance parties (Moderate party, Centre party, Liberals and Christian Democrats) will probably oppose the tax. So it probably boils down to the Sweden democrats.

I'm glad to hear it's only a proposal, but still very bad news for the air travel industry if implemented. A nearly 50USD tax on intercontinental routes is huge, and would be a severe disadvantage for ARN against CPH/OSL/HEL.

The Sweden Democrats are a fairly protectionistic party, right? Anti-EU, anti-immigration - but varying between the Moderates and Social Democrats regarding the rest of their political agenda? I doubt they'll vote for this tax. I hope it doesn't pass the parliament, I'd love to see those C-Series here in Scandinavia.

More populist than protectionist I would say. But yes, nationalist, anti-EU, anti-immigration, anti-foreigners (non-nordic foreigners at least) in general. But they can be a bit hard to predict. However, in general they are more to the left on social issues, and more to the right on economic issues. So if I were to bet on in, I would say that SD will probably be against the tax.
