I just thought it is a good idea to open part 2 of this discussion ( part 1 got almost 9 pages of discussion ).
The return flight YYZ-BRU-AUH had a Pax load of 35% ( 77 Pax ) . Although it is not good but i guess it is not too bad either for a 1st flight .

It is situated on the East coast of Saudi Arabia .

I think Air India is due for a livery change . It had the same boring 70's like livery for ages . Check these proposed new liveries out.. http://www.cardatabase.net/modifiedairlinerphotos/search/photo_search.php?id=00005634 http://www.cardatabase.net/modifiedairlinerphotos/search/photo_search.php?id...

looking at the amount of egyptian shoarma shops in Antwerp, Belgium, we may asume that Egypt air will launch daily connections to Deurne Airport as well.

LOL , if it works that way , then Egypt Air should operate 3 daily to YYZ :lickout:

I guess it all depends if the Pilot's union gives the green light to the B777 / 787 deal . AC doesn't have enough long-haul Aircraft to operate these routes , if ever.

And thanks for correcting me SR89

Ufortunately,Atlantis , BRU was not on that list.

Hi , i came across this news on AC website but unfortunately the link is no longer working. It was talking about (possible) new long haul destinations for AC , and the list included : Karachi/Pakistan , Cairo/Egypt , Dubai/UAE , Athens/Greece , Casablanca/Morroco , Nice/France?!! , Beirut/Lebanon ( ...

Thai Airways International announced it plans to sell 4 Douglas MD11 in early 2006. These aircraft are used on routes from Bangkok to Australia, Milan and Zurich and are expected to be replaced with Airbus A340-600s. They will also reduce US service as it is not happy with the performance on these r...

Grrrreat news for Toronto and Brussels . Etihad will be the 50th Airline to serve YYZ .
Wish them all the best . Etihad is the 2nd Airline ever from an Arab country to serve YYZ .RJ used to fly AMM-AMS-YYZ in the 90's before they suspend the route.

They received 5 A332 in 2005 , and waiting for 2 others to be delivered .
They will have 15 long-haul Aircraft in total that will allow them to fly anywhere they want .
7 A332
5 B772
3 A342
They are also looking at expanding their long-haul destinations to include
Houston and Hong Kong .

Btw , they are in negotiations to buy B787'S .

Egypt Air will also increase flights to JFK during the winter season to 5 weekly using their B772 .
They usually operate 5 flights/week in the summer then reduce it to 4 weekly in the winter.
There are rumours that MS wants to fly daily to JFK as the route is doing very well.

Besides , after joining the Arabesk Alliance , it may transport tourists from the Middle East and Europe to BKK .
They have 2 A332 , 4 A313 and 3 B738 .

Just wondering , how can RJ join One world and Arabesk at the same time??
