IAG widebody order

Really? Which subsidiary?

Would be nice to see some orders for the 330neo for EI and maybe some more a320neo orders.

Re: Flights to YYZ using Infield Terminal

Its was being used regularly the summer pre-covid, if I recall correctly EI used it for a bit among others! Been discussed on here on previous threads.

Re: Irish 3/23: The March of time

Start of the summer season today, few new route launches from DUB: Ryanair to ARN, IAS & NQY. Also, EI resume BDL (Bradley, CT) after 3 yrs. Also from SNN: NAP, NCL, OPO and BZR tmrw Ryanair also returned to BFS today with STN, MAN and KRK resuming today Which also thankfully means resumption t...

Re: Irish 3/23: The March of time

I have friends of mine working over there and they are coming back for a few weeks this Summer. They got cancellation notifications from Air Canada and 3 of them booked different dates so must be a reduction of a few days at least. Im sure more info will come to light over the next few days. Maybe ...

Re: WSJ Reporting Large Boeing Order by Saudi Arabia

How does this order create 100k jobs? Maybe someone’s cat typed some extra zeros. Airport, handling, cabin crew, pilots, maintenance, catering, back office, general economy... how is this any different to Ryanair saying they are creating X amount of new jobs with a new base with 5 planes? This is a...

Re: WSJ Reporting Large Boeing Order by Saudi Arabia

Just coming across the WSJ wires, that the new Saudi order will be valued at $35B and create 100,000 jobs. Also reporting order will be a mixture of WB and NB aircraft. No breakdown or delivery dates and could be formally announced as soon as tomorrow. How does this order create 100k jobs? Maybe so...

Re: WSJ Reporting Large Boeing Order by Saudi Arabia

no alcohol served by saudi airlines right? Certainly will be tough to compete on long haul like that. I remember reading that this will not be the case for the new airline, that they will have to cater to the West if they truly want to realise the hub model and copy Qatar/Emirates. https://www.padd...

Re: Paris Air Show 2023 - Prospective Order Discussion Thread

IAG order for A35Ks (BA), A330neos (EI), more A320/1neos to be allocated to EI, a220s group wide (EI could really do with these).... one can dream!

Re: Porter Airlines News and Discussion - 2023

YYZ seems to be almost entirely shut down right now. I see PD360 (YYC to YYZ, showing a DH8 but probably not correct) currently in holding pattern north of YYZ. PD306 (YVR to YYZ) just shot past YYZ and headed northeast (possibly diverted to YOW?). Watching AC1659 circling for a loooong time before...

Re: Pre-Christmas 2022 Midwest Snowstorm impacts

Re: Irish 12/22: Looking back on another year

Just out of interest, I thought I'd do a quick comparison of the current A330 fleet and what, based on this, it's configuration might be on an A350-900 and -1000. - There is room for 4 extra seat rows and of course, the aircraft is wider, so that's an extra seat per row. The current configuration i...

Re: Future of the A338?

Assume an updated MRTT or even freighter (less likely, but?) could be built based on the 338 platform at some point in the future?

Re: Irish 10/22: Winter is coming

Toronto and Seattle have A330-200 replacing A321 and A330-300 next summer. Maybe the QR config could end up at MAN if it goes wide body. They could easily take an LR of EWR, IAD or PHL to cover CLE if they don't transfer it back. Nice to hear the a332 is coming back to YYZ. Demand is definitely the...

Anyone notice that AC has taken a TON of flights off their website for sale? My YYZ-DCA flights in mid July suddenly do not appear for sale anymore but my booking still shows up with no changes. In fact, as of July 1 there are no more direct flights form YYZ to and DC airport... People on other for...

Re: Inside the hangar at the center of the $1 billion Airbus-Qatar jet dispute

It still doesn't make any sense to me (what exactly QR have done) / (what has happened to their planes to cause this) remove what you want.

Re: Irish 1/22: Brave new beginnings

Looking for some advice. Relative of mine booked a saver fare with EI. Decided to cancel the whole flight very quickly after booking. Is there a 24 hour window from time of booking, where the person can cancel the booking and get a full refund? It's like a "cooling off period". Said relat...

Re: New Sukhoi Superjet

Does this reduce their attractiveness in foreign markets? You can't reduce something below nonexistent. Seriously, different engines won't make any difference in "western markets". It may help SSJ sales in sanctioned countries like Iran, Syria, etc. A market may have just opened up in Qat...

Re: Irish 8/21: Irish Aviation Thread - August 2021

Forward bookings for the winter must be awful for transatlantic carriers right now.
