Re: ATC confusion situation

I posted a screenshot but apparently it's not showing. Flights in question were DLA37 and SVA037 on same track A approx. same position and under radar coverage they were in same sector until somewhere northern New York state.

ATC confusion situation

Observed this situation yesterday while checking on flightradar24.com on NAT track A and in part of the airspace under Gander and Montreal ACC flights with identical number was on same track, same time and following pretty much same NAR, ATC was doing extra caution dealing with these two traffic, so...

Re: What is the real world range of a ULCCconfigured A321XLR?

No more than +/-4200nm thus for a TUN - YUL for example even great circle is +/-3900nm it could be sketchy with a good headwind and A330 remains best deal so far.

Re: Tunisia Aviation - 2024

Eurowings to start Sfax SFA from CGN and STR, one weekly each, respectively on days 1 and 4. First time ever a commercial service links Sfax to Germany. Promising.

Re: EZS in Tunisia

Meanwhile Helvetica is starting Bern - Djerba as well. easyJet at Enfidha grew organically thanks to the UK demand, but DJE is traditionally more francophone visitors. They can't do more than GVA and BSL with the Swiss AOC. The Austrian and UK AOCs can't help with Italy, France, Belgium and Germany....

Re: Tunisia Aviation - 2024

YUL 4 per week is non-event. They've been offering this since 2018. Just to fool the audience a little bit.

That's decent as improvement, but as far as consistency and from a flag carrier perspective and at home-base TUN, nouvelair is about to become the main carrier for Tunisia even with a slightly smaller fleet and network.

Re: Air Algérie to order 8 MAX9, 5 A339, 2 A35K

Not promising for their ambitions of building a RAM-like hub at ALG. NB order should have at least equalled their current active fleet and the WB one should have sticked to one type which is A330neo. Ten maybe or so. They now have 8 A332s. Where's the relevance to have these two A35Ks?

Totally aware of. Mentioned "Alpine" now because it's the easyJet group EU arm now and would have operated all EU-TN routes if open sky implemented. Regardless if they had basé at SXB or whatever. Just how the scenario would have looked like. Nouvelair is not happy and is pushing for open ...

Re: More easyJet at Enfidha, Tunisia

Circumventing in the sense that these would also fit for easyJet Europe from SXB/LUX/LYS/STR whatever.. if no ties to bilateral agreements and respective flag carriers.

Yes Nouvelair is doing so and expanding as they could from a traffic rights standpoint and fleet and crew.

Re: Any MyAviation.net updates?

Charter vs. Lease ambigious terminology
