Something brewing again it seems. Standby…

Considering how new 787-8 D checks are to most workshops (less than 50 done to date globally) I would probably expect the first one to blow out a bit, especially with all the extra tasks. Will be interesting to see what type of silver they opt for. They have changed it again on the Neo, and I...

Confirmed by JQ. Certainly a lot happening. I’d imagine the bill would be significant. -D check -Wifi -Crew Rest -Seats -Paint https://australianaviation.com.au/2026/01/jetstars-first-dreamliner-arrives-in-hong-kong-for-cabin-revamp/

Run some numbers for say 50% loads on an A320Neo for Sydney to Canberra. Nice way to burn some money and waste equipment.

Virgin always seems to carry high connections around its network. Last year on a delayed MEL-OOL we needed to wait while 30 people got off quickly to connect to the OOL-DPS flight. DPS directs on Virgin can often get pricey especially in peak while connections are cheaper. Having a look next...

It’s all about getting past the bilateral limits and gaining an extra MEL frequency. The day they get additional bilaterals approved is the day the Canberra tag dies.

They should do better compared to Batik as they will be able to funnel through a whole bunch of connections. Batik was only doing around 30-50 people per flight. I think TSV would have been a better opportunity or even HBA.

Will probably just use one of the two aircraft that would sit idle overnight at CBR, only really costing an afternoon in utilisation. The route will not operate in Feb or March.

Moving to 10 weekly during peak also.

Double checking, I can’t anything that permits the aircraft to fly here. It’s a very bizarre statement to make.

I don’t think the Comac is permitted to fly here until CASA approves it, which would likely not occur until the FAA or EASA does so. Darwin to Lombok is a weird one, Perth to Lombok would work and I’m surprised nobody has launched that yet...

Commonly seen in DPS and CNS. Here is a video.

The whole platform is rubbish. I clicked send a text for verification, and it just keeps sending emails. No text!

X10 points on all shops. Sorry WOW doing a 4 weeks Coles offer for the next 3 weeks. 🤪

How are aircraft wheels/traction on a wet runway? Do you need to take a different rudder approach on a wet runway?

Engine costs have grown significantly since 2019 though. I think it’s going to be tough in the LCC space moving forward for those operating newer fleets in lower yield markets like intra Asia, keep an eye on some who are holding onto mid life aircraft now. Turkish was out recently talking about...

Wonder if that’s now a crew return from Darwin, ie no more overnighting.

AirAsia talk big on fleet but never actually deliver. They had 100 A339s on order, that never eventuated. Continued to push back other deliveries also. I agree that the A330s have been a financial drain on the carrier and should go, XLR should plug that gap nicely whilst ceding some longer...

I can only imagine the queues for taxi and rideshare on that filthy sidewalk, welcome to Melbs! I was walking down that way last week, it’s just filthy down kerbside. Rubbish everywhere, dirty floors, and then the touting. Sydney to Melbourne looks fairly sold out tomorrow, cheapest fare is on...

Chemist Warehouse click and collect is one of the easiest way to rack up points. That’s IF I can actually navigate through velocity without getting server errors, login errors. Platforms are just useless. Verified my phone number just now for login ‘sever error’. Previously I would get error...
