Do you think PanAm could ever come back ? Consensus among historians is that none of these attempts was worth the while, and it might have been better, if the Pan Am name was allowed to rest in peace. I`m not a historian, but I cannot agree with them. Given that, in the first decade of this century...

Air Canada had not be Air Transat`s first choice for negotiating that.
I just cannot understand why China Eastern has no interest in A380, an aircraft that fits well on most of its long-haul routes.
Jump to postIt would have been a better choice Hop! had been renamed to Air Inter.

XIY-US is not a market for a non-Chinese carrier yet: at this moment, MU or HU can be very successful on the route UA is leaving.
Jump to postLittle by little KLM is being 'joonized' in a way that the Netherlands will have only a low cost carrier in the future.
That is going to be the result of AF-KL merger.

Beautiful for whom?
Nowadays, PEK-PTY can be operated nonstop, what would be successful, if in code-share agreement with CM. If such a move is not in CA`s plans, HU and CZ may have good opportunities with CM.
