EWR-YTZ PD Q400

Now I'm jealous
I had planned a flight into Toronto City Airport this summer, but Air Canada cancelled it on the day itself, and in the end I ended up flying to Pearson

That means heavy competition for SN is on the way: LOT will launch flights to Budapest, and now also Wizz Air.

A definite increase in compeition on BRU-BUD!
It looks like a transferral of Wizz's evening CRL-BUD to Brussels BRU.

The airline is only a few months old, meeting terms of employment were agreed only months ago between employer and employee. It is fairly shocking that the employer is seeking to change the contracts so soon.

Round the world, awesome!

New aviation tax in France!
(Can only be good news for Belgian airports...)

LOT operating WAW-BRU-WAW with a 787 this morning

United to Newark also had a significant albeit smaller delay.
And Delta's flight to Atlanta was cancelled.

According to this source, British Airways is looking to add up to six second-hand A380s.

I wonder will they be taking them from Oneworld partner Qatar Airways, who have said they wish to phase out their A380's?

Vueling may move away from an all-Airbus fleet and migrate to the B737 MAX, according to Willie Walsh, CEO of parent IAG. Did Walsh lose some bolts and become nuts? How will his customers react? They're probably cheap to buy now, and will be delivered long after the MAX has proved itself safe :geek:

The Delta Boeing 767-300ER's have a lovely emergency exit row in Comfort+ section. The Delta Airbus A330-200's do not, but have a warm floor at the Economy (Main Cabin) emergency row, which is great since emergency exit rows can get cold. All that said, the A330-200's are being retrofitted with a ne...

British Airways to increase Heathrow to Mumbai starting June (at the expense of some Heathrow - Johannesburg frequencies).

United have opted for a new livery which only makes me think of their competitor JetBlue

Southwest showing interest in the A220!

Amazing how Alitalia can still survive, whereas Jet Airways has a couple of bad years and is suddenly in deep sh*t.

Nice!

Very interesting read! :geek: From October to March Delta also operated the 767-400 on BRU-ATL, but last week they changed back to the 767-300. Unlike you, I like my aircraft modern, so am very happy to see the 767-300's back. Delta also have some older 757's flying to Latin America if that tickles ...

Interestingly BRU-YYZ-YYT is exactly double the distance of BRU-YYT. Not the most efficient routing but I'm sure you don't mind.
