Re: TWA Transatlantic Drawdown Time Line

TWA Trans Atlantic Arrivals into JFK: January 15, 1989 Amsterdam TW815 767-200 Daily I am bit surprised to see the listing of a B767 in january 1989. I flew TW815 on March 22nd in 1989 and it was definitely a Lockheed Tristar that day! Also the return flight I took (on April 1st) was a Tristar. htt...

Re: The loneliest flight in the world?

I flew Air Nez Zealand from LAX to Apia, Samoa (APW) (and vice versa) a couple of years back. There are only two real alternates during the 10 hour flight (except for APW and LAX themselves of course): Cassidy Airport (CXI) at Kirimati Island and KOA or ITO at Big Island Hawaii. The flight came stra...

Re: Kenya Airways faces repossession of aircraft by banks

13%. AF-KLM have reduced their stakes in KQ. And there are currently many disagrements. KLM now serves Kigali & Entebbe daily, it operated during a short time services to Harare and Lusaka. Fares provided by KLM are lower than Kenya Airways. It means that more and more passengers use only Amste...

Re: The UK could have no flights to and from Europe after Brexit, Ryanair warns

Re: Ryanair says it could scrap UK domestic routes after Brexit

Ryanair never has and never will rely on British pilots. It has crews from all over Europe. No doubt MOL will be along to say they're shutting EMA training facilities and PIK maintenance facilities. No doubt their biggest base by far will be closing down too once we leave. They claim they will pull...

Re: Ryanair says it could scrap UK domestic routes after Brexit

When the base shrinks you will need a much higher growth rate to get to the same level - where is that growth going to come from? British companies will simply be making less money as they will have a smaller market. This shouldn't be difficult to understand even for the most die-hard Brexiteers. E...

Re: Ryanair says it could scrap UK domestic routes after Brexit

We are up against a lot of anti British sentiment and extreme anti brexiter sentiment. People like to see the UK punished but may I politely remind you that 17.4 million out of 61.2 million voted to leave. I don't see why people seek to punish 61.2 million when only 17.4 million voted to leave. Bre...

Re: If Norwegian Airlines can operate flights between Boston and Martinique,why not EU Low Cost Carriers operating to US

Re: If Norwegian Airlines can operate flights between Boston and Martinique,why not EU Low Cost Carriers operating to US

Also not every "European" Caribbean island is part of the EU/US Open skies agreement (i.e. can't do it from SXM), and traffic to those that are are more limited from the US for a variety of reasons. There is not a ton of room for many competitors or destination options from them to the US...
