Re: Lufthansa Group Fleet Thread - 2020

I also followed the empty flight from D-AIHB to Manila on FR24 this week. It is pure madness in times of drastic climate change to fly an A 346 over 9000 km empty(!!!!) from Germany to Manila just to have it maintenances there. How many additional emissions are blown into the air unnecessarily! Whe...

Re: Saudia Unveiled: IST-RUH-BOM in J and a peek of newly-open Saudi Arabia

Superb report! Reminds me of my own experience in Saudi two weeks ago. @all It's also perfectly possible to rent a SUV in Riyadh and drive yourself to edge of the world.

Re: US wants to ban Iran-Italy flights

Well Italy wouldn't be the first country to ban Mahan after US pressure. Have a look what France and Germany did after the US asked them to ban "terrorist" Mahan.

Meanwhile the situation for the ordinary Iranian gets worse and worse day by day thanks to needless sanctions.

Re: Wizz Air News & Expansion

Are you sure about FDH? Only thing I heard Wizz may be moving all flights ex FMM to FDH during the runway constructions works at FMM.

I also notice that Wizzair is expanding quite a lot in Chișinău. They are starting DSA, FDH, LCA, PRG, TRN and VIE this winter.
