Jump to postFrom what I hear, Japan is an increasingly difficult market for European carriers, as the Yen fell by almost 50% if I am not mistaken.

Jump to postI just flew on an Interjet A320 with 150 seats, it was pure joy... Will those days soon be gone?
Jump to postThat is sad to hear, they were an interesting airline in my opinion although a very chaotic operation. I had booked two flights on them earlier this year and they screwed it all up... Quite a loss for Tirana and Pristina.

Hello there,
just read that Aurigny in the Channel Islands is wet-leasing a Portuguese Dornier 228, CS-TGG. Does anybody know whether it will be put on a particular route?
Thanks and greetings!
The Maritim is a fantastic hotel, fantastic breakfast buffet which you shouldn´t miss. When it is just a quick overnight stay, you should rather consider some time in Dusseldorf´s old town. Lovely and just 10 minutes by train from the airport. Maritim is a quite new hotel, just a few years old. I en...

Jump to postLufthansa still seems to operate a nighttime service tomorrow (16 AUG). Wonder if that is going ahead as I suppose this curfew has no exceptions?
Jump to postChofu could never handle A320s unfortunately. I really don´t get the point of not expanding Peach. When I flew them a few weeks ago, the passengers onboard seemed very touristy to me (well it was a flight to Okinawa). So why not have one LCC?
Jump to postHey people, what is the matter with you aviation enthusiasts? Almost everybody in this thread seems opposed to what is a nice little flight routing. I would take this flight tomorrow if I lived in Dubai. Nice!
