This must have been some time ago when EK were running the 77W DXB-KUL-AKL? EK don't fly the 77W to CHC, they don't fly there at all until they return next week with the A380. You're right! It must have been related to their flights here last year. Forgot that about CHC - will be good to get them b...
Jump to postUnfortunately, yes. Much of the world would rather let Ukraine disappear than risk an economic downturn as a result of this war. There were quite a few countries who abstained from voting on a recent UN resolution. Even on a non-political level, Russian propaganda has a significant audience outside...

Jump to postReported on NECN a note was found on a United flight from EWR - BTV indicating a threat Sunday March 12. The response level was a level 5, which is the highest level. Passengers were not allowed to deplane with anything but cellphones and ID. A news reporter on the flight said she had been on the p...

Jump to postMy guess would be it was a test flight. It was supposed to fly HA29/HA 30 to OGG and back and those got cancelled. Now it is scheduled to fly to HNL as HA9021. Maybe they repaired something and needed to take it up before heading back to Hawaii.

Jump to postIt won't be B6, they've tried it before and fly token service to JFK as is. If BTV regains Florida service, it will certainly be either Avelo or Breeze. You could call it token but apart from MCO what else would they do? To their credit they stuck with BTV through many years of declining market sha...
Jump to postWhy would the West have a 'plan of action' for Ukraine winning? Beyond provision of support, which as I mentioned, changed in what was supplied as the situation did.

Jump to post-24. I agree the logistics are easier, but they presume you have control of the air. A while back I used a CAD program to see how close to a target you can get by flying low and hide behind the curvature of the earth. I was surprised how close you can get to a ground radar before getting to the lin...

Jump to postFor those interested in the equipment side of things, UA flew a MAX 8 from EWR to BTV today. Unless I have not been paying sufficient attention this was the first MAX to come to BTV.
Jump to postI understand btv-dtw was suspended due to the pilot shortage. Nyc is very close and helps pilot flight times or stranded passengers have other options to get home.

Jump to postRegarding BTV and DL, lets not look over MSP and MSP being mainline, while DTW is regional. From what I have seen and read, a lot of regional cuts are due to pilot/union shortages. LGA isn't soaking up much of DTW passengers. DTW will come back at some point, this just has to to do with the regiona...

Jump to postBoutique quietly stopped flying their BTV - BOS service. They had a cancellation rate running nearly 50% on this service in the few months of operations.

Jump to postOutside of gaining more PAX room, airfield/apron wise are they gaining any gates with any of this expansion?

Jump to postThis is inexplicable; If FR24 was projecting the flight path (after the transponder was shut off?) why would FR24 have it make a 20° left turn at that point?

As far as I can tell, none of those routes performed particularly well. It seemed like PWM was saturated with new routes last summer, probably trying to catch the COVID-fue...
Jump to postA little while back there was talk of BTV adding a link to BOS- it was speculated to be either B6 or DL. Is this still a possibility or is it dead? DL added BGR out of BOS and they have the regional jets so I could see them adding over B6 if this is still on the table. I remember this rumor. I wond...
Jump to postThis is a very good question. I'm still surprised at the lack of Florida flights so your thinking makes a lot of sense here. I'd wonder if Frontier would consider upping frequency to MCO, but they've got Spirit and JetBlue to deal with at the moment. I'm still a Southwest fan but we've been through...
Jump to postI won’t complain about having another daily connection option out of BTV, but the outbound timing (arrival into DFW at 9:45pm) is not great for connections to a lot of places. Wish they revisit the timing at some point. Yeah the outbound to DFW is a bit tight for on-going connections. Probably miss...
Jump to postAA goes daily on BTV-DFW this fall. A nice jump from the Saturday only flight. Flight must be doing well. That's truly encouraging news. Are they still flying regional aircraft then or any mainline upgrades? It's a long way on a E175. Texas is such a booming market I was hoping this would happen. L...

ACK is fine; however, not sure if Nantucketers would be pleased with more people coming to “their island” [100 vs. 140.] The 223 is too heavy for MVY and HYA, so they’ll have to figure something out. Therefore, it’s evident that B6 needs 221s. Just 20 fewer seats. There is no plan for B6 to take an...
