Any idea what QR will do about the 2 747-8Fs? Cargo demand caused by covid seems to have slowed down a bit, and they are the definition of an oddball in the QR cargo fleet, with only 2 of them, and the rest of the fleet being 777Fs. I'm actually surprised that AAB has held on to them as long as he d...
Jump to postNo US airline will serve India unless and until Russian overflight is possible. If and when that happens, the most likely candidates are UA on SFO-DEL/BOM, AA on ORD/JFK-DEL/BOM (or DFW-DEL/BOM if they have the right aircraft), and DL ATL-DEL/BOM or JFK-DEL/BOM. UA still is flying EWR-DEL. In addit...

So it's like they'll train you from zero experience to ATP level or something? Is it possible for say, a college student taking a R-ATP degree to finish their degree and go into this academy? Or will they have to go via a different propel program to get to DL? Just curious, as I want to be a pilot f...

List from simple flying. I’m pretty sure most of these airlines had the Boeing 2707 on order as well but obviously cancelled.
AI has service to SFO from BOM/DEL/BLR. I'm surprised they don't at least have one service to LAX given all the flights to SFO.
Then again, it's highly likely that AI will add flights given their WB expansion.

Seems the 787-10 would be cheaper and lower cost than the a350-1000 which has too much range for the routes DL would use it for. I personally wouldn't say the range is too much. I think it is perfect for resuming India (while avoiding russia, which adds flight time/distance), and perhaps maybe othe...

I have to say, it looks sharp in the DL scheme!
Do you know the exact place in the Caribbean that you are headed to?
I don’t know if any scheduled airlines fly from Italy to the Caribbean directly, but there are plenty of 1 stop options. I don’t know anything about charter so someone else may have to chime in there.

On a different note, RIP to the deceased pax.

This airline must be so cheap to buy right now. I think it would be a great buy for an ambitious US airline like Delta. Me personally, I find this unlikely, considering that AF/KL/VS/AZ could do more for DL than investing in CSA. Considering DL's own metal only extends to a seasonal JFK-PRG flight,...
