Re: Delta trials reusable cups

When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s, the entire meal was served on reusable plastic materials, the salad, the dessert and the main course so not a big issue using reusable cups IMO.

Re: DC-9 Documentary

His content is great! Thanks for posting, watched a ton from Ruairidh MacVeigh's channel and enjoyed them all.

Re: New Kansas City Airport Terminal

Absolutely beautiful timeless, calming, modern design, almost back to pure modernism. Looks more like something out of Germany or Scandinavia. Love the materials and all the natural light! Well done!

Re: 40 years ago today since first BA 757 entered service.

757s were super rare in in Canada, I can recall taking one flight on Canada 3000 in Jul 2001 YVR-CUN, I recall the only other Canadian operator at the time being HMY / Harmony Airways. I was lucky enough to fly one BA 757-200 leg, CGN-LHR in early 2005, super light LF, rocket take off, loved it!

Re: Delta A330 Lands 6 Feet Short Of The Runway At Amsterdam

Just a quick wiki peek, states that 04/22 is just 6608' / 2014m and is used for general aviation so a very odd scenario indeed. Wikipedia also stated that "Boeing 737–400 of Corendon Airlines overran the short runway and ended up with its nosegear in the mud"..in 2010.

Re: YVR Weather Meltdown: International Flights Halted

-7C @ YVR this morning and another 10-15cm of snow overnight. Just checked the YVR website and the majority of arrivals and departures are cancelled for today. We're expected temps to go above 0C later today with snow changing to freezing rain. Tons of people wont get anywhere today but at least the...

Re: LATAM A20N ground collision during takeoff run at LIM

So an A320 RUNS OVER an airport fire truck at speeds of a reported 129kt and remains relatively intact? passengers and crew safe! Congratulations Airbus for designing, and building such an amazingly strong airframe! I am gobbsmacked!! RIP firecrew Fully agree, a testament to how robust and incredib...

Re: Air Canada News And Discussion Thread - 2022

Additional aircraft coming online for both mainline and Rouge according to today's MD&A. 2 further A330's - one by the end of this year and one by the end of next. 3 A321's for Rouge - all 3 by the end of 2022. This is on top of the 789's, XLR's 767F's. 777F's, and A220's already announced. Any...

Re: Airbus and Boeing 2022 orders

15 additional A220 for Air Canada. https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2022-10-air-canada-orders-15-more-a220s-for-a-total-of-60-aircraft Great news, love the A220! Recently did an over 5 hour leg, YHZ-YYC on one, what a great ride!! Nice to see that AC is gradually migrating back to ...

Re: British Airways new typeface ?

Not to mention a new tagline as well.

Re: British Airways new typeface ?

Great update! The former typeface was dating the entire brand.

Re: Air Canada News And Discussion Thread - 2022

Hello Does anyone know why AC keeps replacing their MAX and A220 flights with the older A320 series? Been booked on a few flights now that got the downgrade. Robbie Got similar unfortunate news- about two weeks after I booked YYZ-MIA-YYZ for end of Nov I noticed that the outbound was the same A220,...

Re: AA up gauges MRY

Great news! So much fun watching mainline airliners take off from MRY There's a small observation deck on the terminal and I remember watching big jets rotate immediately in front of the viewing area which is very close to the runway. In the 70s and 80s I remember United dominated with 727-100s, 200...

Re: Domestic Widebodies Disappearing in 2023?

Plenty here in Canada mostly on AC and on YVR-YYZ routes. Just flew a 787-9 YYZ-YVR Oct 3 AC 123 in biz, super nice having lie-flats and meal service on par with their international Signature Class, on a 4 hours domestic trip. I had just transferred from AC 897 ATH-YYZ and service and food was almos...

Re: YVR opens Pier D

As a frequent YVR user, I am so done with this 1990's concept that began in 1996 with the opening of the new international terminal. Yes it's open, light filled and rather pleasant for departing passengers but looks totally dated IMO, those horrid chaotic lights meant to represent logs, awful green ...

Re: Condor launch new livery

OMG speechless!!! Has a bit of a prison vibe too.

Re: Air Canada acquiring 26 A321XLR's

Very excited by this order! We certainly have enough MAX's in Canada already, the XLR will place AC head and shoulders above the competition in Canada especially with the lie-flat products in biz! Well done AC!

Re: WestJet acquires Sunwing

I think the Sunwing brand will cease, although they've grown and matured a lot over the years, many of us Canadians recall their crappy early days of cheap marketing, reliability issues and super awful jingle 'sunwing-dot-ca' which translated to 'cheap 3 star Cuban holiday'. Fleet integration with t...

Re: Spirit 1653 taking weird route

Increase of over 100 mph in groundspeed too with the turn.

Re: Air Canada News And Discussion Thread - 2022

Am I wrong to think that more people than ever want to get out of Canada due to the increasing covid restrictions? I for one hope that the stopping flights rumour is false. Totally false, link is no longer active. Would be massive news here in Canada. I'm booked to fly south on AC in two weeks, jus...

Re: Air Canada News And Discussion Thread - 2021

The first 763 freighter has entered revenue service earlier than planned to help BC with the floods. I believe it's FIN 634. It's still in old colours with no titles, but the old tail decal is still intact. https://vimeo.com/654280740 PR has an image as to what the 763s will look like once fully pa...

Re: Another Canadian ULCC startup - Lynx Air

Too bad they didn't keep the Enerjet livery, it was fantastic, this livery is absolutely deplorable, I hope it's not the final.

Re: Arajet, a new Dominican airline launching with 5 737MAX8

Livery has an EgyptAir feel to it.

Re: Spirit A320NEO involved in a birdstrike and fire at ACY

Absolutely crazy to see passenger's priority being filming and fumbling through the overheads, I don't understand the mentality these days. I'd also be very curious to find out why the crew delayed the evacuation when many were screaming 'fire', seems totally contradictory to our survival instincts ...

Re: Breeze Airways E190 ✈ CMH-ORF in former Air Canada business class seats

Great report thanks!! Flown on AC's 190s many times, Breeze has not changed the cabin at all except for a big cloth panel over where the PTV was.. interesting that they were able to match the upholstery from 2006. All AC's 190s had PTVs in all seats including business.

Re: YHZ First International Flight since April 2020

Anyone know when AC is resuming YHZ-LHR? I heard rumours of late 2021.

Re: YVR 90 years old: images from the period 1960-2000

Amazing thanks! Absolutely loved the design of the 1968 terminal, wish more of it had been preserved, it was absolutely stunning, perfectly symmetrical and had hints of a Mies van der Rohe influence in its architecture. Inside, not so much, very basic Transport Canada materials at the time. The orig...
