As these types of announcements tend to get buried in larger threads, it's fine for this to have its own topic. This discussion is also ongoing in the Delta Network Thread as well for anyone interested.

Please keep the thread on topic. This thread isn't about where people want Copa to fly, it's about where they are actually going to fly. For speculative discussion, please create a separate thread.

As is usual, everything turns into a political fight which leads to pointless personal attacks, and no one is bothering to discuss the topic. The thread is locked.

There was a discussion over on the DL Network thread a couple of days ago (on page 10, around posts 470-480s) about a rather nebulous rumor that AF was perhaps going to announce new service CDG-West Coast (or "Western U.S."), maybe as replacement for the discontinued MSP route. A few pote...

Got an email this morning from MX announcing RIC-LAX starting May 18. Service is 3 times a week M,TH,SUN. Also added RIC-PVD, 3 times a week. Plane's rotation is: PVD-RIC-LAX-RIC-PVD. Surprised it took this long to start since it was mentioned before MX started flying as and example of what the air...
Jump to postIn reference to the video that was posted: at the moment, the link will be permitted to remain posted, as it does contain a warning for viewer discretion. We aren't leaving it up with the purposes of being crude, but because it will no doubt become part of the investigation into what occurred. I jus...
Jump to postThe thread title has been updated for clarity. There's no such thing as a "Near-Incursion", only an incursion, which is what happened here. A runway incursion happens whenever an aircraft, vehicle, etc. violates the protected area of the runway without clearance.

It's going to cost millions to get these aircraft back in service. They'll need to be in service for long enough to recoup the investment, or they wouldn't be doing it. I think the real question is whether they hang around for three or four years, or will they receive cabin investments and hang arou...

BOS is a very high-yielding, high traffic route- probably one of the most in the US after JFK for LH/Star. For 2020, LH had scheduled the A380 for BOS-MUC, and announced the launch of 6x weekly BOS-VIE on OS… obviously Covid upended that. In summer months BOS-FRA typically gets 2x daily 747, as wel...

Thanks. Respectfully, that's very frustrating. I understand they are not new, but they are in my opinion and at least some others', a problem.

I have a different question related to this topic....why are there chronological restraints to threads at all? I get the idea of the mods starting up all the airline/location threads to help condense the conversations properly, but why do these threads need to be locked and re-done for the new year...
Jump to postHey ATC, first, I want to make sure that it comes across clear that no one is placing blame at the feet of the moderators here.

Prominent news always gets its own topic when someone starts it. I respectfully disagree.

As a result, you had to fi...

EWR is in a complete meltdown right now. The fire suppression lines in the tower broke on the 23rd floor, so the controllers had to move to their alternate site which is the United ramp tower. They dropped the arrival rate to 15 airplanes per hour. There are 126 flights currently waiting with EDCTs ...

Any information on this unusual flight from SNN to CAI? It seems like a ferry flight due to its unusually low level. https://fr24.com/VPCEM/2e9ee0ae I wouldn't necessarily say it's a ferry flight.
