    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    Reading the report it appears like they would be chasing tens of millions from QF to cover contract cost blowouts. Seems unlikely so close to a contracts end . I think Alliance will play a part, just not as big. Darwin/Cairns are bases that come to mind that might remain wet lease over a longer...

    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    I wonder where they will start to go next year. Alliance appear to have the Embrear contract with Qantas for further two years. Intra QLD hopefully next up.

    Jetstar B787 Reliability Issues

    Looks like both cancelled SIN-MELs came home eventually in recovery flights. I think it might be better to just axe the route and not even bother at all. The route just seems more a hassle these days.

    Jetstar B787 Reliability Issues

    Looks like VKB is out of order in Singapore. JQ8 SIN-MEL cancelled yesterday and also tonight, assuming the current JQ7 MEL-SIN is operating a return backlog flight tonight plus dropping off spare parts!

    TIL an A330 can fly with a ripped off winglet.

    I wonder if someone hit the wingtip or it’s been taken away due cracks/corrosion etc.

    TIL an A330 can fly with a ripped off winglet.

    It’s an old tired fleet that should be heading to the exit.

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Compared to prior years I am earning about half or less QFF points so I think it’s more change behind the scenes vs anything else. Before they had the 10% off offer, the points on offer was much higher across offers, it’s clear the investment has been moved to behind that % off offer compared...

    Ask The Pilot

    That seems helpful. So you call an internal security team and the deal with the offload via the police?

    Philippine Airlines A350-1000s with 10-abreast Economy

    Designed for a population that is not as heavy as other nations, Average Filipino is only 60kg compared to nearly 90kg in the west. Cebu also cram in a stupidly high number of seats in the A330.

    Ask The Pilot

    AV, how often do you need to kick off passsngers for misbehaving? I have noted some poor behaviour lately. Is it a case of calling the AFP and telling them you want this person off and that’s the end of it? Ie the AFP has to do what the Captain wants?

    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    It’s operates by a subsidiary who pay much less. I’m not sure they are replacing seats like for like either. I’d be interested to see on MEL-BNE if seats have slipped, but the could be getting a higher load factor. Virgin run a lot of -700s on the route also, definitely one that fluctuates a...

    Emirates receive their first A350

    I’d imagine one will, likely waiting for whoever announces it first, both frequencies going to Toronto probably too much, likewise both going to Vancouver also too much. I’d say one frequency to each YYZ/YVR and Emirates to Vancouver. Would mean Etihad can pull the A380 off Toronto and go for...

    Finnair to launch Melbourne-Helsinki flights

    Give it time, launch fares on many new starters are some of the worst fares you will ever see. Come back in say 1-2 months.

    Emirates receive their first A350

    Expect more growth to Canada from EK and EY as the air services agreement has just added another 14 flights for UAE carriers effectively immediately.

    Finnair to launch Melbourne-Helsinki flights

    If this is successful, and I’d imagine it will be considering the BKK route only has one full service carrier, plus Euro traffic is strong, then I wonder if Sydney is next. The other HEL-BKK could continue onto Sydney instead of returning. I see the Head of Strategy is a Sydney born individual...

    Koala Airlines Discussion

    According to the Management Team LinkedIn search, all are employed elsewhere. Seems like Bill is running this alone trying to find someone to fund it. I hope he has read the Bonza creditors report. Will give him a good run down on expenses involved and how it’s somewhat not possible to make a...

    Finnair to launch Melbourne-Helsinki flights

    Do legacy cabin crew operate any of these Asian and now MEL flights? Or are they all Asian labour hire.
