I see an EI 757-200 is being scrapped at MZJ and I'm in the same boat - I'm desperate to purchase a piece of this frame as it holds many sentimental memories of mine. I can't find any info for Logistics Air anywhere. Do you guys have a phone # or website for them?
Jump to posthttps://imgur.com/gallery/am6i4TL The first 321LR for Jetblue has been spotted out of the paint shop with a new tail design “waives” as well! Note the 3LR door (found on CEO 321s) has been plugged as well. To be N2105J. There also seems to be a large block of windows plugged just starting at the le...
Jump to postSo Chuck Schumer is writing to EI asking them to plug the hole left at Stewart when Norwegian pulled out. Could this be a good move for EI with the 321LR? What were Norwegians LF like on the route, could it make sense to pick up this route, or would it be dependent on local subsidies to be any way ...
Jump to postThanks for sharing. Definitely a step up from -GEY. Additionally this one already has the mood lighting and also the higher center overhead bins, which is a nice upgrade.

IAD is probably the most northeasterly airport in the US with four runways capable of simultaneous operations operating in a much less congested airspace than NYC and runway constrained Newark. So it makes sense for UA to make EWR an O&D focused airport and to make more reliable IAD the connect...
Jump to postThat's a shame, but makes sense. Even in the 8 door layout, 2L was slightly smaller so I guess it wouldn't work anyway. Premium cabin service suffers a bit on narrowbodies without use of a 2L, in my opinion.
Jump to postDoes anyone know why EI didn't go with a second forward door? Being premium-heavy I would've thought TA operators would have opted for the forward door 2 to work similarly with a 757, and to have a mid-cabin galley and lav at the entrance.
Jump to postI haven't checked the seating configs, but I'd imagine some A321LR(neo) operators will use the 2L config since they're using them for transatlantic routes with heavy premium cabins. Or at least, I'd hope they would.
Jump to postI note on another thread that BA will move from T7 to American Airlines’ T8 in JFK alongside QF & AY. At the same time, JetBlue will expand T5. I’d imagine we will see EI follow suit I can't see EI moving terminals at JFK or BOS until the B6 agreement is severed. However, even if they do move a...
Jump to postWell done EI.... nobody’s going to pay for business if it’s been given away for free to other people . That’s how the US3 trashed their Buisness cabins Yes, completely agree here. My biggest peeve with the US3 are that the premium cabins are used as PR material and purchasing tickets is nearly poin...
Jump to postI fully expect a eurowhite livery with a green accent somewhere and the shamrock, of course. IAG is known to be a bean counter, and with the fact that white paint costs less and can go longer between repaints (fading), it seems an easy decision for them. I think the days of a full green-top livery a...

Jump to postAny more details? Or was this the A330 that ended up at Air Italy? Ex VIM airlines, I heard EI engineers got a look at it in the hangar and didn’t want anything to do with it. Money pit. Yep, it was definitely something along those lines. They were really scraping the barrel with a former VIM Airli...

I live in the RIC area and we get DL 757s. I flown out on them a few times and most of the time they were stuffed full from nose to tail. That is in addition the MD's 80/90's, 737's and RJ's they fly in on a daily basis. I'm in RIC as well, and love how we get many larger DL a/c often. I've also fl...
Jump to postI flew on this same bird (D-AIHU) from MUC-IAD back in April, seat 3H&K! One of the very few planes left flying from MUC with an F cabin.
Nice report.
A while back, a large piece of the starboard wing flap washed up on a beach in Reunion. Why isn't the search focused on that half of the Indian Ocean? Read the reports of the complex drift simulations and that will show you why. TLDR: Where and when things have washed up matches currents from the l...

Jump to postRumours circulating that the incoming QR A330 for EI will be based at SNN for peak summer, freeing up the required 757 for DUB. Nice boost for SNN and makes sense overall if the A330 is configured differently to the rest of the fleet. Would the 757 be used to restart the daytime JFK-DUB flight? Has...

Jump to postGuys, I know I'm late to the party, but I have a quick question -
Did I see somewhere on previous threads that the EI 757 fleet is undergoing cabin refit to match the A330 J class? If so, does anyone know of the timeline for EIS?
