Larnaca was flown by the previous Cyprus Airways that went bankrupt and even then the route was max 3 weekly if I remember correctly and subsidized by the Cypriot government. When it went bust Ryanair took over the route again subsidized by the Cypriot government who wanted a minimum of 2 flights a ...

A bit off topic but can we potentially expect a route to Seoul with the merger of Asiana and Korean air in the future?

One question - is the rumor I heard that Air India applied for slots and got them true or is that false?

Thanks!

In the link above it says 3 A330’s in 2025 but the SN press release says in the coming years. To have 13 A330s by end of next year seems optimistic to me unless I’m wrong…happy to see Billund back and excited to see more frequencies and potential new destinations in the future. Happy that AC and UA ...

Seems like a solution for Aerologic to use its 777 on night flights has be found.

I just saw but it seems Skyexpress will make Athens a daily flight rather than 6x weekly - a Saturday service has been introduced.

Brussels airlines will resume Tel Aviv Thursday September 5 but the crews will not overnight as they did in the past.
Lufthansa group airlines should also resume operations.

From what I understood - and I can be completely wrong but - the pre clearance is part of the project hence it is taking longer than anticipated (the whole SN-AC-UA venture)

On another last note, flying LH not impressed with their economy class. SN’s buy on board menu is by far much better than LH’s, there’s not even a real competition in my eyes.

Any news on potential new aircraft coming to SN?

Thanks for the info

The A330 that will come in 2025 is it on top of the one originally planned? Or am I mistaken?

This article is behind a paywall but the title says SN is hesitant on the A330neo and is analyzing the A321neo

If anyone has access it would be nice to have a summary.

I don’t have a subscription but does anyone have access to this article by any chance and what does it say? Or is it the usual United/Air Canada/Brussels Airlines hub that was mentioned a few weeks ago?

Not a new route but it seems like SN will continue Brussels-Athens in the winter season 4x every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday Source: https://www.airliners.gr/community/threads/brussels-airlines-stin-ellada.4047/page-5#post-222398 Source is in Greek but I’ve translated it above and generally...

Even if UA has 7 destinations from Boston - could it be at all feasible SN flies the route even though the focus is Africa? After all they fly to JFK and Washington (seasonally)

Maybe I am reading way too much into it but I’m wondering if the new lufthansa cargo is a sign for things to come - apart from the press release itself about the growing partnership between LH, UA and SN

It’s the second time Wizz tries to fly BUD-BRU, the previous time was pre-Covid if I am not mistaken but it did not last long at all. In my opinion this will be just for the Hungarian presidency and then they will leave…
