It is all about transportation security.
Though the probability of sanctions on airplanes seems to be low today, it can change.
The Russian government creates an emergency fleet to secure domestic market in case of nuclear sanctions.
For Russia, it is all about R&D and transportation security.
To re-start development and manufacturing of the whole line - from IL-114 turboprop to what is now called C929 - would be a huge achievement.
Looks nice. However, with all that huge space it needs travelators. Lots of them. I don't see it in CGI.
Jump to postAttaturk is close to great neighborhoods with hundreds of hotels and restaurants. They are within 10-15 taxi drive.
The beauty of staying overnight (or longer) is important.
Would you enlighten me about the location and the infrastructure in the location?
It was coming. With high-resolution cameras and screens, it makes sense.
But the quality of the visual must be really good. Way better than in today's IFE system.
It worked with "Enterprise" and "Voyager."
Dave Majumdar of the National Interest has finally uttered what many people were thinking.

I have been there. It is the regional resort. Promoting San Andres is like saying that Ocean City, MD or Virginia Beach, VA are international resorts.
Colombia mainland is a miraculous country though.
I agree that it would be fair and polite to give city name.
Some of us know IATA or ICAO codes. And they can sound quite different.
Say, Moscow Domodedovo airport is DME/UUDD.
I see the logic here. It would take years to build a clean-sheet widebody.
However, the sanctions may affect the aviation.
There is a need for a temporary solution. It's a matter of national security for the country stretched for nine time zones.
In this business model, the airports are the key.
People flying from SVO rarely use DME and VKO, and vice versa.
Dubai is a great place. Stay positive and free of any stereotypes. It depends on how long you stay, but I would recommend renting a car. The beauty of the place reveals to you when you are moving and seeing it like in 3D. It is very diverse. However, it is a sort of diversity that is natural and sui...
Jump to postThe cognitive meltdown of Russophobes here in this forum is truly entertaining.
Jump to postThe fourth airport Zhukovsky (previously known as Bykovo) also becomes a player.
Onur Air and many carriers from the former union's republics fly there.
So Moscow has four international airports.
http://zia.aero/en/
It is a good question.
Moscow has three airports (SVO/UUEE, DME/UUDD, VKO/UUWW) and now they have added Zhukovsky (ZIA/UUBW).
So it makes four.
The traffic is close to 100 million pax. However, four international airports seem to be excessive.
Maybe he meant TU-154B2/M? That one is iconic.
TU-204 is a good airplane. But I don't recall Aeroflot having or leasing them.
Emirates will cease to exist without A-388. What are you talking about? I got absolutely addicted to the 380th. I fly to from IAD to DME via DXB. When I am not in haste. I prefer to spend a day or two in Dubai before going to Moscow, or Bangkok. I think there are many people who will abandon EK if t...
Jump to postIt is obviously ORD. The history supports it in many aspects.
Chicago was the destination for rangers.
Chicago was the center for all trans-continental rail projects and later for interstate road projects.
One just needs a good globe to see how close Chicago to elsewhere.
Gays are not welcome in Malaysia. But I didn't see any protests anywhere.
Jump to postWhat matters: it is 11 cm wider than A-320 and 27 cm wider than B-737.
It means that we will walk while food is served.
In 2019.
Thanks to KarelXWB and Wayfarer515 for the updates.
Hm... I flew both #131 and #133 for years. Never experienced anything like this.
Things happen. EK is still my favorite airline.
EK/QR to HNL? Why would they fly to HNL? Be serious, guys. Thailand alone had 32 million visitors in 2016. I love Hawaii and I love Florida (Key West). But these are not international resorts. In Thailand, $200.00 a night can buy you a boutique hotel. Unimaginable architecture. Unique service. Absol...
Jump to postI have doubts that the project with COMAC will go well.
We Russians need a 10,000 km range. It covers all domestic and international route needs.
Chinese want an aircraft with a much longer range.
However, these are going to be two different airplanes.
In this case - absolutely.

And SSJ operational outside temperature is up to +50C. I am referring to the recent LH turnaround while going to Erbil.
It is quite a good car. I drove it in Thailand. They assemble them there. Along with Civics.
CITY seems to have simpler suspension (and much softer one). There are fewer whistles and bells.
However, it is considerably less expensive.
There are countries and places where people still don't understand the beauty and the bliss of inter-racial breeding. Yet.
That's okay. Soros & Merkel Co. has been working day and night to make them understand.
Vantaa is a perfect hub for Europe - Asia flights. And for East Coast USA flights to Asia. It is especially true at the time when Moscow hub is split between DME and SVO (and VKO to an extend).

As I am frequent in the region due to business, I wouldn't be dramatic. These are GCC countries, most of them. These are virtually the only real monarchies in the world.

Oh...The wings look so thin and fragile. I think I will wait for a year until I fly on the 21st.
Jump to postI believe we should wait when PD-14 is certified and appears on the wings. Then UEC-Perm will deal with derated PD-10 and PD-14M and possibly PD-18R. What really matters: will our industry be able to develop a reliable and perspective engine? Hopefully it will. I went actually here to note that I di...
Jump to postGreat news. I am very happy.
As to PD-14, it has just finished Phase II tests. Phase III will include domestic certification.
All serial MC-21 starting from the #4 will be equipped with PD-14, the Perm-based engine manufacturer stated.
Its fuselage is just 11 cm wider than A-32X. But it somehow looks wider.
Well. Waiting for the First Flight.
The Russian twinjet will feature composite wings and empennage and an aluminum fuselage. The fuselage is 25 percent wider than that of a 737 and 11 percent wider than an A320, and will still be lighter than either aircraft. The question most often asked about the design.... is why the MC-21 doesn’t ...
