Sounds like a potential route to transport vaccines and other COVID-related materials from India to the US. India is likely to be the main production center for a number of COVID vaccines-cheaper production costs coupled with large existing pharma production centers.
Jump to postNot sure about Non Stop, but I know according to their 1960/1961 (not sure) timetable, REAL Airlines flew a weekly Rio de Janeiro (maybe it was Sao Paulo?)-Lima-Los Angeles-Honolulu-Wake Island-Tokyo flight on a DC-6.
Jump to postWould love to see PIA operating to the US, the demand is certainly there. I flew them NRT-PEK last fall and was impressed by the service and all despite the rather old (but still comfortable) 777.
Jump to postAfter reading the recent thread of Western operators of Soviet Aircraft, it seems that Aertirrena leased out 2 YAK-40s to Olympic Airways sometime in the early 1970's. Does anyone have any info on their usage, routes, or why Olympic decided to lease out Soviet Aircraft? Any info on this or Aertirren...
Jump to postWhile I was taking the SkyLink over the parking ramps where Terminal F might be someday, I saw both a United 787-800 and a 757. I didn't think United schedules any wide body aircraft (or even 757s) to DFW, does anyone know why they would be there? The weather had been clear for a week so I'd be surp...
Jump to postHas Macau had any European wide body service since TP flew LIS-BRU-MFM years ago? Given Macau is a popular destination for a large demographic I could see it working, at least to the US.
Jump to postI see Delta's new plans going well- perhaps they can make VS shorthaul actually work this time.
Jump to postORD was mostly for connecting from the Midwest/West Coast, if I recall correctly it may have had more TATL destinations than JFK during the mid-late 00's. DFW could get you to LHR, CDG, and FRA, and ZRH at one point I believe, but had much less scope. JFK I think was less destinations with more freq...
Jump to postAs much as I'd like to see MIAT at LAX or in the US/EU in general, my guess is it will be used on Seoul or Tokyo routes since those (especially Seoul) seem to be the highest capacity from ULN (KE A333/MIAT B763s are regularly scheduled). Could be for Berlin though, never understood that flight but i...
Jump to postI couldn't find a website working before early 2001, but the following link *should* show the May 2001 schedule. It does however show TN 002 leaving every Thursday Friday and Saturday from Papeete to LAX. The weekly Tuesday flight to Narita (TN 077) is also listed. I know it's a few years later than...
Jump to postDisappointing, those were great flights across the pond if you wanted to pay ~150 each way. Understandable however given Norwegian's current situation x the MAX one.
Jump to postI read in another thread (don't remember which) that CZ was going to launch 'Xiongan Airlines' out of Daxing when it opens this September to boost their presence in Beijing.
Jump to postIs it too much to fit in an A330? Absolutely. But just looking at a couple prices comparing Cebu Pacific to a full service airline, things are 4-6 times cheaper. Even AirAsia is double the price. Personally I wouldn't pay for a ticket that's several times more expensive than the cheapest option.
Jump to postLooks alot like the Japanese Air Force One imo. Not a bad look for sure, but similar enough to get confused (minus the flag of course).
Jump to postNo idea on how it's doing, but it seems its been operating twice a week since early April, with no upcoming changes to the schedule. BA is listing the routing as seasonal, however.
Jump to postI think both AS and UA use only E175s on all the routes out of PAE. Not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but that's what's scheduled.
Jump to postSo if this were less of a replacement for LGA and EWR and more of a Narita-style airport with connections to the NYC area, what airlines would it serve? Low cost long haul?
Jump to postI would say HNL before MDW- although either one I could see.
Jump to postAs far as countries go, I can think of Swaziland, the only flights being 3 or 4 E135s a day to JNB on South African Airlink and also Lesotho, with 4 Airlink E135s per day to Maseru. Also since Air China pulled out of Pyongyang Air Koryo is now the sole operator in all of North Korea. I can't think o...
Jump to postIt shows on the Air Koryo 1991 timetable (http://timetableimages.com/ttimages/complete/js91/) that services to Berlin (Schonefeld) and Sofia (both through Moscow) were operated every week on either the IL62 or TU154, but looking at the list of terminated destinations JS has operated it also shows Be...
Jump to postThe flights to Germany are because of Namibia (then Deutsche Südwestafrika) being a German colony between 1884 and 1914. However, it was captured by British forces in WWI along with all of Germany's other colonies, and interestingly enough is the only one (others being Togo, Cameroun, Tanzania, and ...
Jump to postI found some information (mostly route maps and aircraft operated) about Aeroflot's route network in 85/86 (http://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/102335/198586-aeroflot-network/) but I haven't been able to find a full Aeroflot timetable past 1977. Could anyone point me in any direction on...
Jump to postUSAirALB wrote:AA also served SYD and AKL IIRC in the early 90s with M11s or DC10s via HNL.
Also if anyone has info on the schedules (how many times/week, etc.) please provide info!
Jump to postI was looking at the route maps for AA and I found that the 1973 copy shows service to Auckland, Melbourne, and Sydney, all through Honolulu and Fiji. I'm interested in knowing if this is a codeshare with BOAC or another airline (I know BOAC flew VC10s on the LHR-JFK-LAX-HNL-NAD-SYD-MEL route 5 time...
