Not sure if this is good news for SN, it could be the first step of SN being transformed into an ACMI operator on behalf of Eurowings.

SN will NOT fly from DUS, they will operate aircraft on behalf of EW. (In the same way as Cityjet operates SSJ on behalf of SN)

Re: Air Berlin files for insolvency as Etihad pulls funding plug

Then why don't they take the AOC of SunExpress Deutschland for the long haul if they already operate these A330? The relationship between Germany and Turkey isn't exactly the best at the moment. Sunexpress is a 50/50 JV between Turkish & Lufthansa so they might want to be ready for future probl...

Re: The integration of Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium into SN

Another question regarding the integration of TC into SN. Yesterday I saw at the airport a maintenance building from Thomas Cook Airlines or at least their name was/is on one of the buildings. Do they 'own' that building, or lease/hire it? I guess it will be used by SN after the takeover? Or how wi...

Several years ago, SN occasionally operated Dakar with an A319 when no A330 was available (due to AOG or maintenance).
Correct, but with a fuel stop both north and southbound.

Re: Air Berlin files for insolvency as Etihad pulls funding plug

On airliners.net, the same rumour is repeated: "some A330-200s could, however, make a return if the rumour is correct that Lufthansa has already struck a deal with AerCap for some of them. If that is the case, it seems the most likely that they will end up with Brussels Airlines that will oper...

Re: Ryanair cancels 40-50 flights a day from mid-September to end-October 2017

The real problem for Ryanair isn’t this PR blunder, it’s the problem that has been exposed by it: the fact that apparently staff is leaving in droves to greener pastures If you have 6000 pilots, 700 leaving isn't a that big amount. An attrition rate of 7% is normal, the worldwide shortage does the ...

Would it be possible forTUI Fly or any other airline to launch a counter offer(mainly in CRL)for the xx FR flights?With a 'welcome we help you fare'.Which would be a perfect occasion for this airline to launch new destinations and enter the market for this season but for next summer as well?

Re: Alitalia near bankruptcy. Can it be saved?

I reckon the majority of the bidders are in for stripping the airline from its profitable assets (slots, aircraft, profitable businesses). If the pilots blow the airline up prematurely, it will only lower the price and thus make the assets more attractive. Slots and aircraft need pilots to,operate ...
