Just interested in when Etihad, Rojal air Jordanian and Saudi Arabian airlines will launch LAX???
What type of aircraft will be used?
I'm sure Etihad and Saudi will use 777s, but about RJ? 787 or the A340?
Thanks

Yes, it does. Via Vienna. It has received approval for the route from Austrian authorities.

If RJ were to follow through with their plans, would they come with an A342 or A330 or just wait for the 787 to arrive?

I thought EY was using a 77L for the LAX service? Same as their DFW service.

AMM-LAX is 12259 km and is therefore not doable with the A332. It would have to be the A342.
As for a possible stop in VIE, did Austria grant unlimited 5th freedom rights or with restrictions? Without a proper 5th, AMM-LAX ain't happening.

Its called Wikipedia, use it!

And yes, its trustworthy, as long as it is sourced.

They will fly via VIE which is 9,877km, within the range of a 332.

Didn't Austrian serve LAX in the past. If RJ did get 5th freedom rights, maybe OS can relaunch LAX in order to kick out RJ.

I don't see OS doing that. It's a stretch to say there's enough traffic for one airline much less two. You might want to check to see if RJ and OS have a code share on that flight.
RE: When Do SV, EY & RJ Start LAX? And What Aicraft
Isn't SV supposed to use a 77W for LAX? I doubt a 77E can make it with a full load and no restrictions.

A 77E and 77W have almost the same range, both at 14,000km + with full load.

Let RJ announce the route first, then well see! Nothing official so far.

True, I forgot the difference was that little. But still, would the 77E make it with a full load year round?

During days with strong winter headwinds on the westbound leg, probably not. But neither would the 77W. (30 minutes more range, which is not much)
At 13409 km, JED-LAX would be the longest 77E flight in the world. That title is currently held by UA on its daily EWR-HKG service, coming in at 12980 km, and which doesn't have to content with the headwinds that JED-LAX will contend with.
So a 77W would be better, as its range is about 30 min longer than the 77E, and every bit helps.
According to the following source, the flights will be operated by the 77E. I wouldnt be surprised if that changes though.

The first a.net thread about the subject a few months ago suggested that they would be getting some, but maybe plans have changed?

Pretty sure they're getting some 77Ls from AI or somebody.

I sincerely doubt that they will have to worry about full loads on this flight, except for flights around school holidays. My guess is that weight restrictions would not be much of an issue, even if full of belly cargo.

RE: When Do SV, EY & RJ Start LAX? And What Aicraft
SV seat map shows a high density 777-200/ER for the LAX route.
EY is to buy/lease 5 777-200/LRs from Air India.

As part of the recent deal where Etihad bought into Jet. GOI pretty much dumped most of the airworthy AI 77Ls onto Etihad as pre-condition
They are to receive 5 of them come spring.
Air India will retain 2 and the one they broke. I believe these two may replace the government contracted 744.

EY will use a A340-500 from June 1st - July 14, instead of the 777-200LR. The 777-200LR is now scheduled to enter service to LAX from July 15

Almost certainly wrong !
Those high density 77Es are normally deployed on domestic regional and flight to the sub-continent. they are rare visitors even to Europe.
I was under the impression they were going to deploy a 77W on this service however these are only two class so the obvious choice would be their 77L (internal code not and LR!) frame in the range HZ-AKA- HZ-AKK (excluding HZ-AKF)

I was very surprised when I saw this but I did make a dummy booking and when I saw the seat map, that's what I saw. Try it yourself. I'm very aware that the high density configuration are very rare in Europe. Perhaps the flight will be very weight restricted and the high density version is more available to operate the flight.
I'll check again as it gets closer and we'll see what shows up when they start.

The low-density configuration stops at row 49 in the back. Economy starts at row 30 on both configurations.
The flight will most likely be heavily weight restricted, perhaps 100 seats in the back. So better to use a high density aircraft and the low density aircraft are probably heavily used to Europe.
We'll see what shows up when they start flying.

I did, and you get indeed a seatmap with rows 30-59 in a 3-3-3 configuration. The high-density 772's have rows 30-61 plus a smaller section behind J class, which is numbered 3-6, but more important, it's all 3-4-3 in Y and not 3-3-3 as shown on the seatmap in the dummy booking.
