So it looks as though the following has been planned for the 100 year anniversary retro jets;
G-BYGC B744 - BOAC Livery
G-CIVB B744 - Landor Livery
G-CIVE B744 - Negus & Negus Livery
A320 series aircraft in a BEA livery. Rumours abound one of the A321neos but most likely be a A319ceo.
Given the large number of flights to the UK each day I wondered if they self catered for the return. The catering operation in Dubai is VAST , 225,000 meals a day and running 24/7 Whilst return catering isn't unheard of of course. I can confirm that the catering on EK flights leaving the UK is prep...
Jump to postDon't think of LEVEL as being a low cost airline (in its own entity), it's a brand which is available to each airline within the group to leverage a low cost operation. In the Austria case, Germanic countries have an issue with pronouncing Vueling. So you would have a structure like this: Paris: LE...
Jump to postWow what a great report. Very well described and detailed i was able to imagine the parts missing any photos. Definitely an interesting and different experience for these days.
Thanks.
Luckily for customers there was no major inconvenience. For BA though, behind the scenes there will have been major headaches and huge costs incurred. There were 21 pre-cancellations from the normal planned schedule for Tuesday. Customers on these shorthaul flights were dispersed onto consolidated f...
Jump to postIf what is suggested is true... It looks like an additional 15 737 MAX aircraft will be ordered. I'd guess most likely 737 MAX 9 series to suppliment the 30 MAX 8's on order. Very suprising though. I would have thought the recent investment better suited getting things in the correct order now rathe...
