I can see it happening in 5 years. That's a long time! It's interesting that some of you bring up the "poor" condition of the airport (dirty toilets and slow access to the car parking lot — these can be changed really quick), however, there were nearly 28 M pax served in 2018 at STN. I don...
Jump to postI had the chance of flying BUD-PHL on AA 763 Y class last summer. I pretty much enjoyed the flight and the seat was surprisingly comfortable. I always liked the 767 series and to be honest I would change to this type over any 777 with 3-4-3 config in economy. I know it's just me, but on a daylight f...
Jump to postI wouldn't be surprised if around 2025, the A380 program was back on the table with new engine options and cabin solutions. Also I wouldn't be surprised if by 2025, Airbus (and Boeing) lineup had a lot less peer pressure from the ME3(2) and a lot more from Chinese and other Asian airlines. Airbus ma...

Jump to postI don't think many pax (besides avgeeks, obviously) think about these 767 vs787 quality questions. Don't forget that the majority of economy pax are just looking for a cheap/quick way to go from/to BUD to ORD/JFK. They search for cheap tickets and not for "larger windows", "cleaner ca...
Jump to postIn some regions like US or Western EU it could be a different scenario. But the airport in subject - BUD - had to put great efforts in reorganization after the bankruptcy of Malev.

Terrible idea. No hubs and no brand recognition at either end. Vast majority of traffic is low yield and that is taken care of by LCCs and BA.

Jump to postQuite hard to see that a company with a fleet size over 950 planes, 6700 daily flights and 110,000+ employees worth less than eBay or other internet companies.
800M US$ for 10% seems like a good deal as AAL's current market cap is around 24.5B US$.
Why are airlines bragging so much about how many seats are places on airplane these days, they have no shame. A330 should be 8 seats per row not 9. Air Asia X is a ULCC, there is a point at which its too ridiculous and 440 seats on a A330-300 is just silly. Airbus and Boeing should be shamed for al...
