Interesting to see the 744 age finishing soon (and also a bit sad though).
Let's hope BA does expand it's A380 fleet (not impossible, seing how LHR is in overcapacity, but still I would doubt it).
BBD has stated that this deal comes from long before the Airbus deal. Aside, they seem to have 28 planes in their fleet, all second hand +10years old on purpose. 30+30 brand new birds would be a massive increase and an insane risk for them. No option at all for me. That's exactly what I was thinkin...

Jump to postHow about Volotea? They seem to have 28 aircraft. All in a similar size as the CS100. As of September 2017, the Volotea fleet consists of the following 28 aircraft: Airbus A319-100 9, Boeing 717-200 17, Boeing 737-500 2 (leased from Air X Charter).

I have been looking for a website on which I could find the aircraft flown on a route and the frequency of this flight (how many flights a day/ a week) for a given airline (or not) for quite some time now, but i have found none.

Jump to postI have a hard time seing Austrian starting service to Orlando, Cancun or JNB.

Jump to postOther European airlines already have the the right to "move in". My guess is that is Alitalia goes under, we will see Ryanair, Easyjet, Vueling and other lowcost carriers expanding in Italy to try and grab some italian domestic passengers. OK, so that would leave Italian passengers flying...
Jump to postIran air flies once weekly to Gothenburg (a Swedish city). Given that this city is certainly not a major city or hub, I really wonder why they fly there. A once weekly frequency means there is little demand, but there crearly is the necessity of this route, for Iran air to maintain it. What would be...

Jump to postI believe it is indeed a possibility, in terms of range etc... I don't know about the winds, but I'm guessing if Hawaiian's B717 can fly there, the CS300 defenetly can. The range offered by the Cs300 would even allow it to fly to Vancouver, Alaska etc... So I'd say it would work, yes.
