The 787 at LX will never happen, period. In the end, it will be more A359 for the A333 (earliest from 2030 I'd say). What remains to be seen is what will happen to the B77W. Either LH, OS get them or they sell them and get A35K instead, or just simply do nothing and run 77W and A359 alongside. Perso...

Jump to postWith LH and probably OS getting the B789, that leaves the A359 to be the most likely solution for LX now…
Jump to postI think LH Group will have to do some serious soul searching regarding OS. Their long-haul fleet is down to 4 B767 and 6 B772 out of which 3 are parked. Two B767 have already been retired. Average age of their B777 fleet is 20 years and 23 for the B767s. I still hope that some B787s will be moved t...
Jump to postProbably Ice Shedding. With increasing thrust the fan blades get deformed/bent and any ice which may have built up will shed away and prevent damage before actually setting takeoff thrust.

It's only a matter of time (if not already) until the A220 will suffer from an increasingly bad reputation as the 737MAX.

Great to see LX finally expanding on longhaul again. My bets are on ICN in Asia and IAD for TATL. 77W moving to NRT and 340 opening up ICN/IAD. More interesting will be the time schedule for these new destinations. Are there even any slots available for the noon wave? I guess we can expect a final d...

Airbus would be "stupid" to launch a potential A322 before B launches a NSA/MoM/797. As long as the A321 is the superior product in its class, there's no need for A to make a move.
Jump to postHow does the increased span of the 777-9 affect the cruising altitude? The initial cruising level for a heavy 77W lies between FL290-310 and later on rarely above FL370. I guess with the new wing, it should be able to climb up higher in the first stages of flight...
