Crew visa question
I was wondering the average number of live visas a crew member would hold in their passport. I guess the more there are makes it easier for ops planning, and how long do they last?

Re: Reintegrating Russia.
I kinda think it will be more than 10yrs before any sense of normal Russia air traffic begins, the paper work on those planes is the biggest hurdle perhaps.

Current expansion plans has it sl...

Martinique not popular where the UK?
Browsing the internet I was unable to find any direct flights from the UK to the island. Go via France or Canada, Such a loverly island with as much to offer as the rest of the Carib, is this a hidden gem as far as the UK is concerned?

I'm curious, looking at Google maps there appears to be a runway just north of the current. Is it an old defunk or a new in progress?

Will Russia pull out of the Ukraine grain when it expires 18 May? With things not going well it is great leverage, the World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that it will be difficult to feed the world if Russia does.
