Re: Ryanair News and Discussion Thread - 2021

MOL says he could wait for a MAX10 order 10 years. He will ensure the growth with the current MAX200 order, by selling fewer old planes and by buying or leasing "current generation planes". According to Planespotters, this and last year Ryanair withdrew from use among other planes: EI-DAM,...

Re: Wizz Air News and Discussion Thread - 2021

For next summer, Wizz Air has loaded into the system flights from Luton and Rome to Antalya as well as Rome Bodrum flights. They are already bookable on their website. If I am not mistaken, this is Wizz Air's second attempt at serving Turkey after they failed miserably on BUD-SAW about a decade ago...

Would Ryanair and Wizz Air order a A220-500?

The production of a A200-500 seems to become serious. It could replace the A320neo. Depending on the stretch it could have up to 200 seats inside. An article says it has "20 percent less CO2 emissions and a 34 percent reduced noise footprint at 10 percent lower operating costs" even though...

Re: Ryanair News and Discussion Thread - 2021

The MS-21 can seat also 197 passengers and is almost due to delivery. So MOL needed to take position. He said it's a junk plane. He does not trust the Russian production and the law system. With this comment he may want to do Boeing a favor which is rebuilding reputation for their MAX. Taking the MS...

Re: Wizz Air News and Discussion Thread - 2021

cool. The destinations with the highest weekly frequencies from AUH in October are Bucharest (4) and Budapest (5). BUD gonna be increased to 6 weekly. — Wizz announced BUD-Hurghada. That's great having a nice price flight to a nice price country. Furthermore Wizz connects Europe and Egypt from Naple...

yep with the regional aircraft of American Eagle. United too with United Express.

Then AA or UA might be the first individual airline. Or the first airline group not counting regional aircraft.

Including the subsidiaries the Aeroflot Group is at 360 (Planespotters) UA stands at 847 with some retirements on the horizon (40 752s and older 772s that won't last forever). However they have the most aircraft on order (585). This adds up to a theoretical 1392 by the early 2030s. Yeah, so regardin...

Re: Next destinations from WizzAir from Abu Dhabi?

Both Dubai and Abu Dhabi still require a PCR test to enter. independently whether being vaccinated or not. Somewhere I read that a PCR test kills the flight demand. I kinda agree. It has a high price, takes effort to organize the test and to do in the right time frame. Then the result may has to be ...

There was the first delivery of a Malta Air MAX in the Ryanair livery. 9H-VUK and 9H-VUG were formerly EI-HGI and EI-HAV. Their registration was changed still at Boeing in Renton. It's likely they have the Ryanair colors in the cabin. The next Malta Air MAX 9H-VUL seems to come in the according live...

Re: Why wasn't Ryanair interested in the 737-900 or MAX9?

The 739 has 31 more seats than the 738. So it could have been worth a consideration. i cannot imagine that Ryanair plans the amounts of flight attendants regarding the actual load factor. With up to 199 seats it's 4. For up to 249 seats it's 5. Yes into the MAX200 fit up to 210 seats. It was increas...

Why wasn't Ryanair interested in the 737-900 or MAX9?

Years ago MOL said he wants to remove "two of the bloody toilets" to get more seats inside. He was happy to have 8 more inside the MAX200. Now Ryanair is very interested in the MAX10 with up to 230 seats. In the 737-900 and MAX9 fit up to 220. The MAX9 was announced years before the MAX10....
