That location is best for people going to the airport!
Take note that the govt is spending billions to create a subway station for NAIA, and no one even bothered to voice this out.

What if DL was merely waiting for the "rumored" A338 Lite to put on the route? It might be better sized post-pandemic and I may shift allegiance just to try it out should they decide to fly into CRK. Photos posted by: @Particle 1 & @fretburner

Seeing that you joined only recently, perhaps you missed the discussions here about the early GEnx's travails. As to the A33N being a better fit for PR, maybe a lower MTOW version as described below could better serve the requirements of particular routes which don't need the A339's size but exceed the range and capacity of the A321XLR.....
Of course, the competition's slight OEW advantage (offsetable thru keener pricing) remains...but PR still has to get out of its pecuniary sinkhole before they can think of any new order.

The rest are A321s/Q4s for a total of 20. Some of the new 321 neos (4/5) is set for return. They are keeping the pair of oz express.The rest of the unexpiring A320/21 fleet will be kept, while the rest will need to go.

No cause for excitement...5J isn't about to put their pilots in military trainers. IINM, that's the Chinese version of the Russian Yak-130 which beat the low-wing MiG AT for orders. Even if the Sinos named it the Falcon, avgeeks were already pointing out the similarity with 5J's logo when it first came out.
