Re: Boeing Removes 8 x 787 From Service over Structural Issues

Thanka. Thus far we appear to have JA901A C-FVNF Only six to find... N16008 has also been mentioned. Based on movements and manufacture dates, another candidate could be 9V-SCI. Last service was on 24th August, same date as N16008. All other SQ 787s are still in service, except for 9V-SCA, but that...

Re: 15 Emirates 777-300ERs in storage - older & newer frames

EK lease 777's on terms of 10, 12 or 14 years, depending on the leasor, with differing hours/cycles caps. Often lease terms are undisclosed, due to the way the lease is funded, and the way the aircraft has been purchased by the leasor. Sometimes even the leasor name in undisclosed. Leases specify m...

Re: 15 Emirates 777-300ERs in storage - older & newer frames

Re: 15 Emirates 777-300ERs in storage - older & newer frames

D check would be done on 6 year old frames, so some of the newer frames on your list could be in a d check. The older frames are about 12 years old, again on time for a D check. Some could be in a C check or being upgraded. Yes, could be true for those in that age class. But there are still the muc...

Re: 15 Emirates 777-300ERs in storage - older & newer frames

What are your criteria for being stored? Could some frames just be serviced or refurbished at this time? I only have the dates mentioned, so let's use "out of service" instead of "stored". It's certainly true, a D-check could be an explanation in some cases, but the newer frames...

However, I noticed that EK has recently also sent various newer frames into storage. Have these retirements of relatively young planes been...

Updated: LH to operate Boeing 747-400 roundtrips between Frankfurt and Berlin in November and December

Many years after Lufthansa stopped operating Airbus A300-600s, it will bring widebodies back onto a domestic route on a larger scale - at least for a limited period of time: Between November 1 and November 30, LH will operate Boeing 747-400s between Frankfurt and Berlin/Tegel and replace A32X aircra...

Re: Lufthansa to base 5 A380s at MUC

Great news, excellent decision.

LH Group overall could use a couple of wide bodies in the absolute short term. A340s wi...

Re: Why growing Eurowings instead of Germanwings at LH

Eurowings will have bases in Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and maybe more countries.

No, the decision to get rid of the Germanwings brand had already been made prior to the crash....

Go2Sky got an own 737-800 in March 2016, registered OM-GTE (a former Ryanair plane built in 2000), mostly used for Smart Wings until October.
