Re: Colombia Aviation - 2024

All good news and thanks for sharing this with us here Summa767. I hope AV will at the 787-9 again for future expansion. Good to see the aviation in Colombia increasing. Has JetSmart started flying domestically and internationally to/from BOG already or is this planned for the coming months? Also, w...

Re: Caribbean Aviation - 2024

AA already announced expansion of double daily MIA-ANU flights through 5th September, 2024. However, it will now operate 2X daily year round. AA will also go daily on CLT-ANU from 5th December, 2024 on a 737-800. Flights already bookable. This is a significant increase from the 1x weekly A319/A320 ...

Re: WestJet News and Discussion - 2024

225, 235, 242, 243 are done. There is a list of planned paint for 2024 but I'm not sure it's up to date nor is it public. Thanks Acey, I have C-FWSO coming in today so that one isn't painted in the new livery. We rarely get the WS 73G so it would have been nice to get the new livery on their 73G he...

Re: WestJet News and Discussion - 2024

Hi, does anyone have a list of which 737-700's have been repainted in the new WS livery (registrations) and which ones are planned to be repainted?

Re: LH Boeing 717s at DTW According to Google Maps

Don't read too much in to these things. I regularly see very poorly digitally put together aircraft on Google Earth. This is one of them for sure.

Re: Updated: Air France/KLM Group order 50 A350 + 40 options

The press release states that 'The Air France-KLM Group will place an order for 50 Airbus A350 family aircraft', any reason why they announced it before actaully placing the order? Was it because it was romoured so heavily? The 'order' still needs to be approved by the shareholders I believe. Also ...

Re: Boeing 787 Production/Deliveries - 2023

A company with money to burn intent on repainting a brand new a/c in this day and age - gees. The mind boggles. Personally, I prefer the old SAUDIA livery as opposed to this "retro" livery which misses out on key details on the old SAUDIA color scheme (1971-1996) if they were going for a ...

Re: AF/KL Shopping for 50+ Widebodies

I haven't read all posts but one deciding factor for KL is AMS planned/announced decrease in annual movements allowed. This is one of the reasons KL will use the A321NEO on European routes. This will añso be necessary for their widebody future fleet requirements.

Re: Caribbean Aviation - 2023

It would be interesting to see what aircraft will be going to POS as the A330's are looking to be phased out over the next couple of years. They are currently looking at the A350 or more 787's. Most likely the 787 as the A350 is going to be too big for this route, as I read they are looking at the ...

Re: China Airlines looking at 777W replacement

Both Airbus and Boeing can win here if CI replaces their 77W fleet with the A35K and replacing their 74F's with 777-8 freighters. Boeing even ends up selling more airplanes to CI in this scenario but let's see what CI will decide of course.

Re: ALM SJU 1983 ops

Nice memories I have with my national carrier at the time. I made a stop in SJU coming from SXM on their MD80 a few times. One time we parked next to a Pan Am 727 and on the other side there was a TW Express Twin Otter. Nice memories.

Re: Caribbean Aviation - 2023

Air Peace plans to bring Nigerian artists to Antigua for the carnival this year by operating flights from LOS to ANU on 5 and 9 August. You would expect that the flights will be operated by one of the airline's 777s. It is nice but I wonder how many artists they have to fill a 777? Or is it still c...

Re: Caribbean Aviation - 2023

Yes, it's mainly MIA plus some traffic from DFW, JFK and CLT. In the old days, well up to 2013, AA and American Eagle had a hub at SJU and Eagle operated its ATR 72s as far as TAB, POS, AUA and CUR. Indeed but CLT this got quite a boost to the Caribbean. We will get daily CLT flights starting Decem...

Re: Air France-KLM News and Discussion - 2023

You mean TO (as in Transavia France)...because they get those 17 lease A320neo's first later this year as mentioned in the minutes of the recent shareholders meeting.

Re: Air France-KLM News and Discussion - 2023

Hi, when is HV expected to take delivery of the first of 17 A320NEO's they will lease from AirCap and Avolon? These are intended to ease the impact on the later than planned NEO deliveries to KL/HV all the way to 2025, right? I haven't seen this big lease contract mentioned by any major news outlet,...

Re: Caribbean Aviation - 2023

That may be a lot in the current environment but during “normal” times, this route had much more frequency than that. I do believe that LI was 3x daily pre-Covid although at some point they did shift some capacity to BGI so ANU may have been 2x daily but it was definitely one of the busier routes. ...
