Avianca announces flight to ORD from BOG as of the 17th of November, 4 x week Airbus A319.
AV082 BOG 14:58 20:38 ORD 319 1356
AV083 ORD 22:01 05:15+1 BOG 319 1356
Anyone know which LH A346 routes still exist in Summer 2018? Looking at the current schedules for the last week of June, I see the following: FRA-LAX FRA-RUH-DMM FRA-ICN FRA-PEK FRA-HKG MUC-SFO MUC-DEN (1x weekly) MUC-JFK (6x weekly) MUC-MEX (5x weekly) MUC-HND MUC-PVG I believe 13 frames are requi...
Jump to postSurprised this isn't done on LH metal. AV and LH do not have a JV, they are just members of the same alliance. They compete for every pax between Colombia and Germany, Besides, LH can only fill an A340 to BOG. A flight from MUC on their own metal would cannibalize their FRA operation. Together with...
Jump to postAs a citizen from a country that is requiered a tourist visa to USA, UK, Canada and Australia, I do have to say that the US is the most straight forward of all. Yes on the first visa issued they will ask a lot of questions but nothing out of the ordinary, if you have a job, an income that affords yo...
Jump to postBig congrats to AV! It's good to see them in Germany again. As for CDG, I'm sure they'll start that as their next EU destination. Looks like they thought things through: Actually they had floated Paris and Rome last year, but the last time the president said something he actually talked about Rome ...
Jump to postAvianca flies almost 3 daily B787 to MAD plus daily to BCN. They did in the past fly to ALC but it did not work for them. Plans for AV is a daily to MUC as of mid year, which together with the daily LHR is the airlines operation into Europe. Plenty of other higher yielding routes come to mind befor...
Jump to postWell no... it is not only IB and UX but the Latin American carriers flying to Madrid as well. According to Wiki. For BOG in 2016, largest European markets: So in 2016, MAD-BOG had the same amount of PAX as the 4 next airports combined (Paris, Barcelona, Frankfurt and London). Roughly 50% of the cap...
Jump to postEuropean traffic to LATAM is much more reliant on UX/IB than on BA to the US. While the US is well connected from almost anywhere in Europe (see FRA or CDG), this is not the case for LATAM. Outside MAD, connections to LATAM are far and between. IB/UX from MAD to Europe usually carry a lot of connec...
Jump to postI am not familiar with Avianca and its tolerance for these rather marginal routes, but they sure seem like a recipe to bleed red ink. Surely AV has got to have more profitable places in Europe where to send those 787s. Avianca flies almost 3 daily B787 to MAD plus daily to BCN. They did in the past...
Jump to postBOG is very often listed towards the top of possible new BA destinations BOG would not be a new destination for BA. BA served BOG in the 1980s and 1990s, even in the late 1990s switching from the 742 to the 777 (I distinctly remember ads for USD777 fares to London), though I think it was to LGW and...
Jump to postIt seemed to have happened twice which may definitely accelerate the decision of changing the aircraft type. This is and english language link of the same story.

In general, resisting arrest is illegal EVEN IF THE ARREST IS WRONGFUL. Being dragged / flailing probably counts as resisting. You then sue the police later. You do not resist cops. You have to be crazy to do that, which is why I immediately assumed Dao is mentally incompetent. I think this really ...
Jump to postAgain, aboard an airplane you do as you are told. And if you are told to leave you leave. For no reason? Why? For what I can gather in by reading here from some people it is simply because in the USA the police can do what ever and nobody can question them. Kind of what is called martial law in mos...
Jump to postWith over 300,000,000 people, I think you will find a wide array of viewpoints. This was 70 people on an aircraft in a situation that they didn't fully know the legalities of. It clearly was received by them as morally wrong, but they probably questioned whether it was legally wrong. However, this ...

Jump to postMy guess is PTY is on the short list. I would love to see them extend 4/22 and 31L/13R another 500' on each end - there's certainly room for it. The MAX seems like it will require some extra pavement to go the full distance. PTY is a transit point more than anything, not sure what Southwest could d...
Jump to postSouthwest had expressed their interest in BOG sometime ago, so probably still in their radar.
Jump to postThe Airline had 3 incidents since 2006, 2 crashes and 1 hydraulic failure. A 41 year old plane with poor maintenance... I hope the surviving crew member gets better. I am not exactly a fan of this airline although understand the economics of trying to reach the most far and afield places in my coun...

Just wow also from me on the specifics of this accident sequence, the spotters, finding the survivor (hope he will be ok!)... and +1 to everything that has been said about operating too close to the margins... don't think the spotters would have been there without consistent almost-made-it takeoffs...

Jump to postIt is shameful but not surprising situation on behalf of Delta. But then again with the appalling quality of service you get on board US American airlines I guess the only way for them to defend the undefendable is by using dirty tricks. Sad but not surprising.

Jump to postMy understanding is that the A350 will be at BOG on the 8th visiting AV.
Jump to postEverytime I go through EZE or see pictures it seems they have added a new area, it is a patchy airport, from very nice to very old. I hope you enjoyed fantastic Buenos Aires.
Jump to postThe aerial views over SDU are amazing. Flying into that airport is simply fantastic.
Jump to postBA First is really nice, breakfast looks good. Got the cravings now for a full English breakfast.
Did you arrive into the old or the new terminal at GRU?
