RE: AirTran To Lease 23 More 717s

And according to the latest Airliner World issue SAS is thinking about getting rid of the 736 because they ...

RE: An Observation On The Airbus 340.

Well there is an explanation, the A340-200 and 300 series has a poorer climb performance than for example the 500 and 600 series.This is due to the low thrust from the engines.So they need more time to gain altitude. But keep in mind that it doesn't make the A340 unsafe to travel on <img src="...

RE: SAS A330-300...when?

The 767 is a comfortable airplane and the SAS variants are from early nineties so they aren't too old and the cabin layout is good too so I believe they will hold on to them until they find the times good enough to convert the options for more 333s and 343s,btw how many options do they have?
