Probably a weather diversion - the fact that they loaded enough contingency fuel to circle KHE for a while and then return all the way back to IST means that the risk of diversion was known before departure..

Thanks for your reply UA900 This just seems like a big security risk and waste of Money I don’t see how someone in India can have years of experience with AI or EK or Jet that could add Any value to the complicated environment of United.

Jump to postLooks like PAE is down to only 2 flights on AS - a morning departure to PHX and an afternoon to LAS. I'm a bit surprised to see no PDX or SFO flight to enable onward connectivity.

Missed April Fools Day by a month... A few issues: 1) SQ and UA are not in a JV agreement, and they vigorously compete on the USA-Singapore market. They have no incentive to cooperate on this route. In fact, SQ's primary interline/codeshare/FFP partner in the USA is AS, because they can't agree with...
Jump to post*A doing something for AV in Spain would have been tough as it would have either meant flying someone like LH, LX, OS on narrowbodies onwards from Spain or perhaps flying UA to BOG and then connecting to Spain on AV, which UA doesn't need because of EWR flights to the Iberian Peninsula and the Medi...
Jump to postIf they're smart with their negotiation, this could be a good two-way door - if demand starts picking up strongly in the next couple years, they'll be poised to take advantage and if demand is slow to recover, they can look to defer or pressure Airbus to cut rate.

Jump to postLAX will receive 4 additional frequencies for summer 2020.

And AS is selling connecting options through PAE to/from PDX...kind of interesting. I wouldn’t read too much into that. When fares are built a bunch of non-hub airports may be added as allowable connections in a fare. Alaska allows connections in STS for most fares, for example. I don’t know if Ala...

None of them are low-cost carriers, but none of them are legacy airlines.
Interesting - Turkish Airlines have dispatched an Austrian-based lawyer that has demanded to remove all references to Turkish Airlines in a news article on an Austrian aviation news website...
