It is really surprising that two financial centers like that will not have a direct link any more. I recall we had BA cityflyer twice a day, City Jet with AF code share also twice a day long ago.
People saying he’s too negative is weird. He is supposed to be a critic. He’s supposed to look for faults and what airline can do better. If he’s not your cup of tea I get it but come on.

Jump to postDidn’t Belarus just force Ryanair to land in their territory to take away a political dissident? Could be argued any flight flying through Russia to get to US and marketed to Americans could be deemed security risk.

As an Albanian myself, this is what i can tell you: this airport is nothing more than a vanity project by our beloved corrupt government. The airport was built with minimal expenses and infastructure, and was extremely rushed just in time for this year's elections. Air Albania was forced to operate...

Jump to postIs it possible that how Korea dealt with Covid-19 could mean KE will be in a favorable position once traveling becomes normalized again?
Jump to postKorean aviation industry as a whole will be fascinating if current trend of their COVID case continues while rest of the world still has yet to hit the peak.
Jump to postKorean aviation market will shrink but I highly doubt Korean government will let both OZ and KE fail.

Would AA switch ICN flight from DFW to SEA now?
Jump to postI don't think right now, we can automatically assume VS's new routes will be from LHR. Could be from MAN.
Jump to postGiven that the city will only become more populous in the future, perhaps YMX will once again become a commercial airport. Maybe the idea was right, just the timing was wrong. Oh Noooooooooo! That whole debate was awful-so much finger pointing. Let it die once and for all please. Why didn't they cl...
Jump to postThe problem in this country aren’t planes, its cars.

Jump to postThe LGA airtrain is nearly pointless. Goes to Willets Pt, the opposite side from Manhattan, only served by one LIRR line and the 7 train.

Virgin Connect sounds like one of their mobile plans.
