Re: Airbus A220 Sales Campaigns Discussion Thread - 2020

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.

Stavanger-St.John's-Houston with 5th Freedom.

Re: MAN introduces passenger drop-off fees.

Drop 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...

Re: First Westjet 737MAX8 in new livery

So, given that Saab340, the WJ Encore/Link livery remains the same, or gets updated?

Re: Airbus shelves A320neo-plus study

Suppliers 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?

Re: Air Canada begins MAX 8 service to LHR

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...

Westjet 737MAX Trans-Atlantic intro?

Are there any dates set yet for when Westjet might introduce 737MAX services to LGW, DUB, and GLA (from YYT and YHZ)?

Re: Air Canada receives first 737 MAX

Interesting 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.

Re: Boeing targets Bombardier for “price dumping” CSeries

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...

Re: Brussels Airlines to wet-lease Superjets from CityJet

I hope I haven't missed someone noting this above, but it is interesting that Brussels has an A319 registered `OO-SSJ'

Re: Brussels Airlines to wet-lease Superjets from CityJet

So does anyone have any idea what routes Brussels will put the SSJs on?
In case a.netters are interested in booking.

Re: Luton Airport To Get Rail Link to Terminal

Is Luton the busiest/most developed airport in the world without a full-length parallel taxi-way?

Re: Air Canada reveals new corporate livery

Interesting that Winkreative who designed the livery, also handle the Porter Airlines brand. Which has a... masked racoon as a brand mascot:

Re: Air Canada reveals new corporate livery

Will be harder to pick out AC in ATL etc.

Re: Why didn't British Airways retain a LCC offshoot?

Isn't Vueling the designated IAG LCC now?
It has their north-south vacay traffic that is primarily `LCC'.

Re: Air Canada reveals new corporate livery

C'mon BBD!
Put your PC's graphics card to use. I want to see how the mask looks on this.

The CS series will look absolutely fantastic with this livery. I feel like it's a badass livery. I honestly did not like it at first. However, it looks slick, simple and with character, if that makes sense.

Re: Air Canada new livery?

On the Twitter announcement they have hash-tagged it as #FlyTheFlag if that has any meaning motif-wise.

Re: Air Canada new livery?

Just 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. But when I looked at the actual Wiki entry it says: A new pink, yellow, and orange...
