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.

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...

Jump to postD 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...
Jump to postWhat 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...

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...
Jump to postGreat news, excellent decision. I am wondering as to which A380 routes will be cut ex-FRA and if FRA will receive replacement aircraft in the short term to at least partially compensate for this loss in capacity.

The incident is with a go2sky aircraft with go2sky pilots. Why do we talk about the safety culture of Norwegian here? I know it was flying for Norwegian with a Norwegian cabin crew. But it was still not an Norwegian owned and piloted frame and I assume not on a Norwegian, the country and the airlin...

Thanks for all comments! Any idea what will happen to them?! Will they come back to Europe with Blue Air (like the -500s did)? LH sold the last seven 733s to Automatic LLC, like 80 other 737s before.
