because anti airbus JAL still has 22 A300 since 2004 when it took-over JAS operations. Ana has 30 A320 family aircraft in use against 20 of the competing B737 family. The B747 , the B767 & the B777 were tailored to Japanese operations which is why we don't see any A330-340 family aircraft. Whil...

Sorry you are right :D On the other hand I m convinced that there will be customers for this service. Take a look at the Charleroi-Brussels South station bus-service. It's often full although quite expensive, and there is one leaving every half an hour or so. Actually the bus-service is handy in the...

It' s 18€ for the normal ticket on the Belgian railway network, including a change in Brussels to get to Charleroi-south station.

From there you buy a bus ticket to the airport, and you tell yourself you should have taken the bus.

It's like women.
Some men like them thin, some like them fat.
The A380 is the fat kind.

I go with Asia-x and ANA. ANA needs to replace some aging B747D's (Domestics) by 2012 (They will be 20 years old, and they have very high cycles). I can see them ordering 12 A380's for the domestic high-density routes if they need to... before further delivery slots are taken... Imagine an A380 in t...

They can call it the B380, if they need to, for political reasons (Boeing outsourced the product to Airbus...) :wink:

EU network has to be profitable by increasing load factors (introducing b.light) I agree on this one B.light is an interesting product: Book fast, Book cheap. I still doubt, although I hope so, that EU is profitable, but I'm pretty sure the losses will be smaller thanks to the new merger indeed. Ab...

The manage to get all the materials and tooling to build a fuselage and then can’t bolt the damned thing together? So, somehow they did not know how many fasteners they needed to put the wing together (supposedly the biggest problem) fuselage, stringers and all the other parts? I just don’t buy it....

Problem with B.air is: -unprofitable short-haul -very profitable but limited long-haul and unprofitable short-haul =difficult to expand long-haul =difficult to make short-haul profitable What is needed is a boost on the short-haul or on the long-haul to get out of this endless gamble. 2 options: -Bo...

It is the first (or one of the first) who offers two totally different types of products I'm confused about this one. Economy/Business are also different products... Do you mean : in the same class? I kind of think they copy-pasted the VLM formula right-away, although the VLM still remains better i...
