Re: Ravn Alaska closing its doors?

I heard this morning also, that corporate gave their pilots word this morning to fully fuel all aircraft in rural hubs, and fly them to Palmer. I see a bunch from all over the state headed that way now on flight radar.

Re: Ravn Alaska closing its doors?

I doubt they are closing doors. They are much needed right now to transport supplies. I'm sure they are also getting a few charters during this time for medical. I sure hope they aren't closing. Penn Air on the other hand, that poor airline might be on the verge. Apparently they were just outside t...

Ravn Alaska closing its doors?

I keep hearing it repeated by staff members that operations will be discontinued. Our local hub has already closed, but I don't see anything formal on it.

Re: NYC Air traffic suspended ZNY

I have a screenshot of the artcc announcement but can’t upload from my phone. Apparently possible positive cases at ZNY so all airports within that coverage area are affected. Aircraft on ground returning to gate and inbound are being diverted.

Anyone else see the Notam on ground and flight holds

Jet Exhaust Part found outside of Z13 Alaska?

Looks like a exhaust piece of a larger turbine? Looks fairly recent.

Re: NTSB: State of Alaska’s high rate of aviation crashes warrants review.

The NTSB issued a safety recommendation to the Federal Aviation Administration calling for the formation of a group focused on safety to better review, rank and integrate Alaska's unique aviation needs into the FAA safety enhancement process. and even fewer runways https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/a...

Re: NTSB: State of Alaska’s high rate of aviation crashes warrants review.

I know of several employers that now forbid travel with Ravn, and have switched to solely Alaska, or Bering Air, or recently chartering Ryan Air's or Security Aviation to avoid Ravn. They put on a decent PR spin on improvements, but behind the doors its the same old cluster.

Is the plane really a write off?

I very much doubt such an old frame will be worth the money to repair. However, every now and then, a dedicated owner will go above and beyond to return a plane to the skies.

Planes in ANC now. Being diverted to March AFB. https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/01/28/ontario-airport-wuhan-china-coronavirus-evacuation/ Personally I think it was stupid and careless to let that plane land and people deplane at a public airport.

Re: Corona Virus outbreak - Aviation related News and Discussion Thread

Discharged to death rate is the one to pay attention to.

The number of infected doesn’t matter, if the total discharged so far is 103 and a death rate is 132.

That means those infected will either be discharged/recover, or the alternative.

Re: Corona Virus outbreak - Aviation related News and Discussion Thread

Perhaps the USA was holding off on restricting flights until it repatriated its citizens from Wuhan.

AP Report:

"NEW: Plane carrying U.S. citizens from virus-hit Wuhan has taken off, en-route to the U.S. - AP"

Anyone see it on flight aware yet?

Re: AS Fleet Repaint Thread

I haven’t browsed through all 17 pages, but does the technical design of the Airbus require a different version of the livery?

Are there areas that cannot be painted on the Airbus that can be painted on the Boeing or vice versa?

Re: Wuhan Evacuation Flights - Who is operating?

I figure the actual number of infected and dead are at least 3 times the number that's been reported. They have already admitted as much. They are not testing everyone, and news reports indicate their hospitals have turned some patients away. Spain, Portugal and Germany have plans to evacuate their...

According to several news reports in India, Air India has a 747 standing by to go on an evacuation trip as soon as the Indian Embassy in China give the go ahead, to evacuate Indians stranded in Wuhan.

Thank you. I don’t see them listed yet in flight aware. Glad they were able to make arrangements. I see NK and Mongolia have shut their borders to China.
