Re: Air Canada’s YHZ-LHR flight

A few weeks ago, I was looking at the loads for Air Canada’s YHZ-LHR flight. A route I thought about trying, operating on a 737-800. I noticed that the flight departs YHZ early. I also noticed that it was packed! I have a few questions of interest: 1. Why is this route so packed as a daytime flight...

Re: Interesting JSX Flight

Is it always the same tail number? What's kind of interesting is that these flights are more than 50 miles off shore, which means the aircraft is equipped for extended overwater operations IAW FAR 135.167 (basically, life vests and life raft). I can't imagine all of the JSX aircraft are appropriate...

I wonder if that would be 773 or 789, as well as frequency.

Re: West Coast Florida (TPA, PIE, SRQ, PGD, RSW, APF) Aviation - 2023

Will be interesting to see if PD add any YOW-Florida routes this winter too. AC have cut YOW-Florida significantly. I believe YOW-TPA is only going to be 1x weekly this winter. I would bet YOW gets MCO & FLL as YOW has been getting route adds at about a 1:2 ratio to YYZ. Porter is also adding Y...

Re: Spain Aviation - 2023

I did read this article a few months ago (in Spanish, but you can use google translate) that has a rather different point of view. The article was written by fans from LCG so it is probably not unbiased either, but I feel like it's important to listen to both parts of the argument. https://vuelamas...

Re: Salmon company buys 757 to fly fish

During college years I worked for an Alaskan Salmon Cannery and I was in charge of prepping the fresh salmon shipments to Seattle. We used 50 lbs wetlock boxes with a plastic liner inside. Inside the liner, every fresh headed and gutted salmon; got a scoop of fresh/clean ice and when we closed the ...

Re: Global Airlines buys an A380 from Doric for UK - US service

Red Way airlines (based in LNK) has something where if you're an "influencer," you get benefits from the airline if you advertise them on your social media. I'm honestly surprised with all the expensive champagne and AmEx cards they aren't getting some washed up celebs to further toil wit...

Re: Cathay Pacific launching a new 77W Business Class

I truly wonder how many years this was in the making. Could this be like AY where it took them more then 9 years to develop their new current business class seat to then see their market get completely blocked off (not trying to get political but wondering more if there’s was the same foresight at C...

Re: West and Central Africa Aviation - 2023

We tend to ignore many poor countries and their contribution to aviation until something like this happens.

Re: Norse Atlantic Airways News and Discussion - 2023

Flew out of OSL and LGW this past week and I was really surprised at the number of Norse 787’s I saw! Does anyone know offhand their number of airframes? They seem to have been growing quite quickly! 15, but with 5 leased to Air Europa, that leaves 10 aircraft with Norse. Of those 9 are active and ...

Re: What airports in the US would benefit most from allowing international transit?

Every country in the world requires permission to enter as a condition of transit. If an American has a DUI (driving under the influence), they are prohibited from entering Canada, even just to change planes. The hassle in the U.S. is that, unlike some international airports elsewhere, arriving pas...

Re: Aerolineas Argentinas schedules flights to MIA from AEP, Buenos Aires downtown airport

There were also statements from ANAC and Aerolíneas clearly suggesting that there would be reciprocity for US carriers. Any case we could se...

Re: Aerolineas Argentinas schedules flights to MIA from AEP, Buenos Aires downtown airport

Due to a delay in the auditing of AEP by the TSA, Aerolineas will not start flights to the US from the city center airport in Buenos Aires as planned, on 07AUG. The airline has sent an email to all reservation-holders for these flights for August and early September advising them of the delay. Flig...

Re: Aerolineas Argentinas schedules flights to MIA from AEP, Buenos Aires downtown airport

I'll be curious to see if the 330s have to backtaxi down the runway, some of the taxiways don't seem wide enough for a widebody. Indeed, initially there will only be one taxiway allowing widebodies to access the runway from that part of the ramp. They will then have to backtrack to the turning pads...

Re: JetBlue Network - 2023

If the rumor is true about A321 XLRs/330s how many gates are at the new T6 JFK? In addition how many are for widebodies? I believe those Widebodies gates were for their partners.
