It has happened before with no problem: https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=336203 It's probably not the first choice for a U.S. airline to divert to, given the lack of spare parts and no diplomatic relations; however, there is nothing inhe...

Jump to postIt started descending rapidly when in the middle of nowhere. It leveled only at 10000 feet and flew at this attitude for an hour before the landing.
Jump to postIt is already in Prague. Seems to be surrounded by fire brigades but ok.

Per FR24 it made a u-turn over Russia and now is descending over Belarus. Seems to be too far from MSQ. To where is it diverting then, VNO?
Pax 767 was ANA (I think*) It was Air Astana, if I'm not wrong. It is indeed Air Astana, L/N 1068. https://www.airfleets.net/listing/b767-2-lndesc.htm BTW TAM (Now LATAM Brasil) also got a bunch of new built 763s after NH. Just to make clear.

Jump to postJust to make clear. I mean not to receive the last aircraft produced but to be the last to introduce a certain type (new aircraft only).
Jump to postIt would be interesting to summarize the information about what airlines were last to start operating a new aircraft of a certain type:
I guess for A380 it is ANA.
Guys, just wanted to note that they are owned by another larger Czech LCC/charter airline Smartwings (previously Travel Service). As I see it, by 2021 this airline will operate all non-ATR routes instead of OK (unless of course they will eventually receive the A320neos).
Jump to postNow that they are acquired by Travel Service, what’s next for them. I see the Russian routes being transferred to QS. Will OK operate only a handful of premium non-low cost routes? I see them getting 738s. Will A320Ns be canceled?
Jump to postI think that One World should consider inviting Tarom, because One World currently had no partner in Central and Eastern Europe (yes they have S7 but they are in Eastern Russia, Siberia). Malev is gone, Air Berlin is gone, so who in One World covers Eastern Europe? No one. So that's why I think Tar...
Jump to postThought SN is leaving Moscow. But they are really just swapping DME for SVO since 1st of June. Their main reason, as I see it, is SVO becoming by far the most advanced airport in Russia.

Jump to postA number of Russian airlines are scheduled to receive brand new airplanes in 2019:
1. Ural Airlines: A320N, A321N, 737 MAX 8
2. Utair: 737 MAX 8
3. Pobeda: 737 MAX 8
4. Red Wings: A220-300
5. Nordstar: 737 MAX 8
Today, an S7 Airlines A321NEO VQ-BGR flying DME-AER suffered an inflight incident. During the climb at 3000 meters one of the engines shut off. The plane then returned safely back to DME.

British 36
Lufthansa 13
KLM 12

Rossiya 9

Virgin Atlantic 8
Seems like the things are going down the drain. At least the original dream of modern Meridiana was beautiful.

This right here is what I think the EU carriers have got wrong compared to the US carriers. There are a lots of points where US carriers have pulled ahead. For instance, why do barely any airlines in Europe have IFE systems built into the seats? In the US, these are becoming really common on short-...

Is it because they are anticipating smaller demand similar to Hawaiian Airlines with their A330-200?
Since I am from Russia, I was really talking about Aeroflot and Rossiya. While SU effectively owns FV, and sells tickets for their flights, it’s still a separate airline with a separate identifiable fleet and livery. So maybe the different livery can be a criterion?
Jump to postNow if the flight is operated under one airline’s code but de-facto operated by another airline, on Wikipedia it looks like a 100% undistinguishable flight of the first airline. What do you think about it?

That’s the flight - absolutely. Thanks, guys! And how do you find that incoming flight on FR 24? Is this something I need the premium license for? FR 24 sometimes lists the registration of an aircraft which will be doing your flight (D-AEWS in your case). You can just enter it in search form. If it...
