Airbus obtains EASA approval to raise the maximum passenger number on the A350-1000 from 440 to 480.

OMG! Sardines?

I was afraid this might happen. Like be B777, it's perfectly feasible to put a 10 across in an A350

I m not feeling well when people say that, under the Apartheid, SAA was a better airline.

I said they made more profit under the years of apartheid. Not that they where a better airline. Nuances.

Indeed. Not really rumours anymore. I have been following the situation for a while now ( I have SA roots ) and things are not looking good at all. If Ramaphosa decides to stop the bailouts ( which is currently set at about 1.90 bilion rand ~rougly 130 million dollars ) it's over. And from a pure fi...

SA never served BRU if I'm not mistaken, or that must be over 30 years ago?!

In the 80's and early 90's

Return of a ‘previously lost’ airline / destination also in the picture. Cannot disclose more for the time being, but from a high level and very reliable source. Guess we need to have a bit of patience. Yes, thank you. Just guesses for long haul : AA to/from PHL. SA to/from JNB (but unlikely becaus...

Is OO-SNN going to the painshop soon?

Painshop

Sorry, I know it's a typo, but it's a funny one

Anyone knows what OO-SFE is doing in Amman? Yesterday and today OO-SFE had several short flights (?). I thought it was only there for a cabin refit. Or are there also technical issues with the bird? See: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/oo-sfe Cheers, Danny these are no flights but just ...

CityJet is using one AR8 (i/o CR9) these days: EI-RJW.

probably because SN doesn't have enough aircraft right now to deal with the summer madness, which is a good thing

Well, I think the 767-400 is an upgrade over the a330-200, pax wise that is. Delta's configuration allows more passengers in the 767-400 than in the a330-200, plus it's a 2-3-2 layout in economy, which is very nice :D ( not complaining about that change here :D ) Only downside I see is that the cabi...

Impressive summary, Atlantis. About Blue Sky we don't speak bcs BRU is between those two major hubs and those home carriers, KLM/AF, are going to replace planes by trains. I guess you mean SkyTeam. They are worth looking at, because Delta has always been a strong contender in BRU with its two major...

Flew WAW-BRU with SN yesterday morning. First time I was on that 06:45 flight (due to misconnection the evening before, not unusual with LOT). Was a full boat but for 4 seats. After boarding, Capt Speaking announced a 30-minute delay due to restrictions at EBBR (07L arrivals) which triggered the ne...

KLM or even Turkish Airlines or Ethiopian Airlines, despite to be in the same alliance, are bigger competitors.

KLM is part of SkyTeam, not StarAlliance.

I think he means Turkish or Ethiopian airlines, despite being in the same alliance and that KLM is a competitor

(Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has identified a new risk that Boeing must address on its 737 MAX before the grounded jet can return to service, the FAA said on Wednesday.

I don't really see how the A321XLR will become a game changer either. but we will see how things turn out. I loath the idea of a transatlantic flight on an a321 ( just like I loathed the idea of a 757-200 ) I can see SN using one for an evening flight to NY tough. FYI: the 757-200 didnt drastically...

Lufthansa will look at ordering the A321XLR, says chief executive Carsten Spohr, but added that he did not think the new model was a game changer. Can Spohr be wrong on this one too? Oh, he will never openly admit a mistake, despite the recent slap he got in his face... It remains to be seen... SN ...

Sobelair was the last one using a 767-300er till 2003, but that was really unprofitable because of the fact the 767 couldnt be fully loaded. ( I remember this very well, the last few rows were empty because of this ) The range is there, but JNB is a 'hot and high' airport. ( this is the reason why ...

After some googling, for the old guys a post from here in 2003!

viewtopic.php?t=471

JNB or CPT is a little overly optimistic. Wasn't there a BRU-JNB service some 5 or 10 years ago? With a certain degree of success, even? I vaguely remember Sobelair, A340, ..? Though that seems an unlikely combination. Sobelair was the last one using a 767-300er till 2003, but that was really unpro...
