Watched an Egyptair A220 delivering across the pond via Ostend last night. Was cruising at 37k. Air Baltic and Delta are similarly above 30k. The lower altitudes for AC’s C-GROV are a puzzle if others are not.
Jump to postDrop off IMHO is not the problem in terms of private vehicles, it's the pick up mob who clog airport forecourts and approach roads waiting to pick their nearest and dearest up from arriving flights, often arriving way too early and just sitting in their still running vehicles, causing congestion an...
Jump to postSo, given that Saab340, the WJ Encore/Link livery remains the same, or gets updated?
Jump to postSuppliers say this A320neo-plus would also save fuel through better aerodynamics and that the cockpit could get a facelift.
Facelift.... as in C-Series facelift?
According to FR24, the aircraft flies YYZ-YHZ-LHR-YHZ-YYZ before starting over again - so far, at least. Does the crew work YYZ-YHZ-LHR, then layover before working LHR-YHZ-YYZ? That's the way the A319 service YYZ-YYT-LHR used to work so I assume it will be similar with the MAX via YHZ and YYT late...
Jump to postAre there any dates set yet for when Westjet might introduce 737MAX services to LGW, DUB, and GLA (from YYT and YHZ)?
Jump to postInteresting that the lower blade of the scimitar-style winglet remains white,
given how AC used green reflective tape to cover all protruding edges of the Airbus narrowbodies to prevent e.g. catering etc truck dings.
Because even though a loss leading early sale of 75 units is hardly an outlier in this industry, on domestic soil or foreign, this time, its a big big deal because the seller-country is supposed to remain the subservient member of this cozy two-country partnership and should be regarded as a predat...
Jump to postAA739 LIS-PHL has diverted to Gander. Long approach was from due south.
Jump to postI hope I haven't missed someone noting this above, but it is interesting that Brussels has an A319 registered `OO-SSJ'
http://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/oo-ssj
So does anyone have any idea what routes Brussels will put the SSJs on?
In case a.netters are interested in booking.
Is Luton the busiest/most developed airport in the world without a full-length parallel taxi-way?
Jump to postInteresting that Winkreative who designed the livery, also handle the Porter Airlines brand. Which has a... masked racoon as a brand mascot:
Isn't Vueling the designated IAG LCC now?
It has their north-south vacay traffic that is primarily `LCC'.
C'mon BBD!
Put your PC's graphics card to use. I want to see how the mask looks on this.

On the Twitter announcement they have hash-tagged it as #FlyTheFlag if that has any meaning motif-wise.
Jump to postJust for the heck of it I googled `Air Canada livery change 2017' and the google preview for the AC Wiki entry had: A new red and grey aircraft livery is to be launched in 2017 to coincide with their 80th anniversary.

Jump to postWhy did the Yakustk ground crew only warm-wrap the main gear of that Aeroflot 737 and, apparently, not the nose gear? Mention was made of at minus 40C 'the tyres will get brittle'. So... nose gear tyres don't?
