JY-JAL has just shown up as AFG508 descending into Kabul. So that's not the one.
Jump to postIf you trim out the damp/wet/moist/ACMI leased frames (and exclude the ERJs as they're stored), you actually end up with: Q400 E170/175/190/195 737-3/4/5/800/MAX-8 787-8/9 Really not a very diverse fleet as it stands! LOT doesn't have any -300 or -500s. The -300 is opb. Getjet LY-GGC, One -400 is a...
Jump to postLOT is launching Ostrava from WAW effective 30/03/20. Will be 5 times a week with DH4/E70/E75.
Apart from Ryanair's flights to Stansted, these will be the only scheduled passenger flights from this airport.
TF-FIU is planned to leave Kelowna tomorrow after maintenance. It will fly directly to Seattle and perform a regular scheduled SEA-KEF afterwards.
Jump to postWAW-ORD 2016: 188.310 2017: 187.361 Judging by the above numbers, last year there were on average 257 one-way daily passengers between the two cities. That's enough to fill a B788. Here are some other cities: VIE-ORD 2016: 140.951 2017: 110.905 CPH-ORD 2016: 137.636 2017: 132.636 Have a look at the...
Jump to postIf they want to have a hub to Asia, they should open new short-haul destinations. For instance, in Spain they only offer flights to MAD and BCN. Many of their competitors like Turkish or Aeroflot already fly to second-tier cities like AGP, ALC, SVQ, BIO or VLC. I reckon the issue is strong low-cost...
Jump to postBUD flights are not doing great and probably will disappear soon (their opening was politically motivated and there are rumors they are indeed subsidised). In fact LOT planned to base another Dreamliner One can say they could have started with basing at least one (instead of the leased crap) and th...
Jump to postThey will lose tons of money on this. Mark my words. I am afraid that you are very right. They are squeezed from all sides and rely on low yielding O&D traffic. Warsaw is not well located for any hub, so any transfer passenger is only to seek the very cheapest option. To succeed, they need very...
Jump to postNeither of ORD or YYZ is business heavy. Both are mainly VFR destinations for LO. They may have volume, and I really don't know, I don't have the numbers, but I would be really surprised if any of those flights actually makes money. I just mentioned those 3 (JFK, PVG and NRT) as examples of major d...
Jump to postNeither Eastern Europe nor WAW attract high volume high yield. Opening up new routes for profitable airlines isn't based on volume but yield. Sometimes much thinner markets attract much higher profits. All the non hub routes they have opened up in recent years are absolute madness subsidised by poo...
Jump to postNice to see LOT expanding to new cities. I've flown them a few times and had a pleasant experience. That being said, aren't they going to be able to grow "only so much" because of the limited space at WAW? WAW will expand this year - new parking positions, taxiways etc. However, the space...
Jump to postthe joke continues and again, lot cancels flights in february 17-19 as well form BUD base.

LOT is also ...
Jump to postLOT chose Q400s in favour of ATRs due to their speed and ability to operate on some more distant destinations. LOT never took decision on Q400. It was separate airline called euroLOT, which was also owned by government. They operated some flights on ACMI basis for LOT on ATRs, but then they took de...
Jump to postI like them, they serve a purpose. Whilst the ATRs might be a better CASM option, the Q400s are jet fast and make routes like WAW-LUZ viable. It's actually quicker than the bus or train! They do look nice in the new livery too... Speed and comfort are great for a turboprop but the Q400’s are quite ...
Jump to postThey used to have a 767 in an SA livery, so perhaps one of the new 789s will have it. Maybe a MAX8 as well, but less likely I think. Actually, I wonder why they went with an E175, when the E170 is nearly the same type. Speaking of liveries, it would be cool to see a retro livery again. Also, I wond...
Jump to postI think TK is severely limited in Poland due to bilateral, discussed here before. Same with China and India. I don t think So. turkey has unlimited access to Eu destinations.

Jump to postLOT has taken delivery of its first Boeing 787-9 SP-LSA.
It will be used on North American routes from Warsaw and to Seoul.
Two more 787-9 to come this year.
And another new route, Warsaw - Hanover :
From 4/06/2018:
LO 361 Warsaw 8:15 - 10:00 Hanover (123456-)
LO 362 Hanover 10:35 - 12:15 Warsaw (123456-)
LO 363 Warsaw 17:30 - 19:15 Hanover (12345-7)
LO 364 Hanover 19:55 - 21:35 Warsaw (12345-7)
Embraer 170s will be used.
They will, see the first post. I know about those six but it seems like they will need a lot more given how many new destinations and frequencies they are adding. The new MAXs are displacing some of the 737s they've used on the "major" European routes. EDIT: Fittingly, I'm on the bus to L...

Jump to postI don't think they are over sharpened (even a bit soft), but they are a bit overexposed.

Use the lines of the building in the middle, just next to the main gear.

Hi,
Sorry, I'm afraid it will be rejected for motiv.
Jan Ostrowski
Hello Andre, For me they look much better. For future reference, try to leave more space between the nose/tail (especially nose) and the edge. In these cases, sky is your background, so that's not that important. However, if you have something else as a background, cropping that way will result in l...
Jump to postHi, I think 10% in case of DirectAir should be <acronym title="CSA Czech Airlines">OK</acronym>, look at the nose, it's the first spot you will see signs of overexposing. I meant that Thomsonfly looks strange, because only one corner is darker. Usually, when corners are darker, it's because of vigne...
Jump to postRich,
As Darren noted it's a good one, but it's not special enough to justify that kind of crop.
Clouds are dominating and the plane is just an addition.

Hello Andre, I rejected your first three photos. My comment "dark corner" indeed refers to the top, left corner. It looks quite strange I must say. Were you taking photos through a fence maybe? As for soft - they all are a bit soft and need more sharpness, but not much. You can add it even at the la...
