As far as I recall, the 3rd runway was approved a few years ago. 1) Has there been any progress....meaning have they acquired the land for it and demolished al the structures on it. 2) Has the runway construction begun? If not, what are the general proposed dates for it? 3) When it a realistic time...
Jump to postMainly because Heathrow have said they are moving temporarily. At the end of the day, HAL says who goes where into which terminal not AA. I get AA are pushing hard for this and claiming it’s 100% permanent but Air India also said there was no way they’d leave T4. Only time will tell. There are 2 th...
Jump to postIt has the best railway linkage and adequate National Express coaches. It does indeed, I've found LGW is actually easier to get to central London than LHR - the train is so much quicker than the tube from LHR and it's still reasonably priced. And switching between terminals on the Heathrow Express ...
Jump to postBA London Heathrow routes gone so far: - Helsinki (HEL) - Beirut (BEY) - Leeds/Bradford (LBA) Summer seasonal gone for S20 (unclear if they will return): - Podgorica (TGD) - Charleston (CHS) - Calgary (YYC) They had already cut the Helsinki frequency to 1 per day before this happened, with Finnair ...
Jump to postHow many planes did VS have that were based at LGW?
Jump to postBA have been flying a number of repatriation flights from India to the UK over the last few days (finally) with more to come. I noticed that a number of these are flying via Bahrain both outbound and return - is this for refuelling / crew changes due to restrictions in India ?
Jump to postAny information yet on the UK repatriation flights that the Foreign Secretary announced on monday?
Jump to postIt would be extremely short-sighted if VS is deliberately left unsupported. Virgin Atlantic is not in a unique position - as lots of other companies find themselves in the same boat, a solution regarding delayed lease, rent and other payments has to be applied to everyone. If the UK Government does...

Not everything can be done remote. The airlines seem to be trying to practice the measures put on others, made much easier with 10%-20% load factors. Yes, and thanks for the measured response. Seems like there are overreactions on both sides. My job happens to be one considered essential, so each d...
Jump to postWith the news that all flights via UAE are suspended from Wed, this means a lot of Western Europeans are going to stranded all across Asia and Australia. Are repatriation flights being organised by anyone other than the German government? Or is the advice going to be to just stay where you are for t...
Jump to postDoes anyone know where there is a list of BA changes/cancellations? Their website is very coy, it seems you can only find out about changes by checking your individual bookings. They don’t seem to have issued any press releases.
Jump to postBA has teh A380 in its fleet. If it can't get more LHR slots to do LHR-BOM why can't it upguage capacity by using its A380s? tighter inventory = bigger profits :) 10 years ago when I flew LHR-BOM regularly, BA was flying twice daily 744s. Plus Jet twice daily and Virgin as well. Now BA is up to 18 ...
Jump to postFlight seems to be for sale at icelandair.us as FI863 KEF-SFO and FI862 SFO-KEF. Press release likely to follow soon, as well as schedule details! FI has announced its next newest destination - SFO. FI will operate its 767s four times per week. Start from 01JUN through October. The flight schedule ...
Jump to postI travelled a lot on Finnair MD80s before they were replaced with Airbus A320s - they were very nice to travel in, assuming you were on the 2-seat side and somewhere just ahead of the wing. Near the front seemed to accentuate turbulence - is this because the front pitches more due to the wings (and ...
Jump to postHow much knock-on impact will this have on AF schedule if the plane is out of action for several weeks/months? There is obviously the immediate disruption (cancelled flights LAX-CDG and YUL-CDG last night), presumably the outbound flights from CDG using the A380 and diverted 777 today will also be d...
