I read about this. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I wish them success an a warm welcome to Houston!!!

Emirates will use their -200LRs to Sao Paulo from October 1 and Houston from December 3. http://www.emirates.com/usa/AboutEmirates/EmiratesNews/GN_NewsDetail.asp?yr=2007&St=2 It is my understanding that the bookings for the Houston route are already very very strong! Will be nice to see the Emi...

I wonder how many were not wearing thier seat belts?

I like the B737-800, its a nice airplane. Seems the airlines like it as well.

Wow. B787 continues to sell. I think Uzbek. also operates B757.

sn26567 wrote:Yes, but often the B767 has a 2-4-2 configuration, which is much worse than the 2-4-2 on the wider A330!

Stay off of those charter carriers

I think they are within thier rights to refuse to go over thier duty day, PERIOD!
Cabin crew are humans, not robots! Safety is paramount. End of discussion.

I know, I know André. It was just an expression. I know that we have to wait for years before we can see a Belgian B787. But still its nice. On Luchtvaartnieuws I found two pictures of a Jetairfly B787. Enjoy it. http://www.luchtvaartnieuws.nl/news/?ID=20216 Maybe yes and maybe no. With the B787 be...

I can't defend US in any way. There are some very serious labor issues going on right now that can tear this company apart. It isn't just the pilots, but the flight attendants and the ground staff that have their contracts due. I'm not very hopeful to be honest. Hmmm, labor issues and aircraft repl...

US Airways is becoming about as credible as Aeroflot. Aeroflot has the excuse of government intervention in its aircraft purchases. What "valid" excuse does US Airways have? Seems they are still trying to figure out what sort of company they would like to be, this week :(

I agree. I think they are waiting for the Air Show to announce most of the new things and orders.

Frankly it's not uncommon for companies to give away their new products at huge discounts or even for free, just to gain market penetration, especially if that market would otherwise not be that eager to buy that product. . Sure. Thats a practice which is more common with things such as TVs, Radios...

They are going to turn the place into a playground by the time they run out of oil,quote] I guess people don't read the earlier parts of threads.....as was repeated before by others as well as me...Dubai has basically got NO oil. Abu DHabi is the oil gold mine and is slowly making attempts to outdo...

I don't get the 2/3rd the size of the city comparison, but i would feel 12.5 million passengers per year for Doha is doable. I don't really know which numbers to trust but Wikipedia says DOH handled 9.4 million passengers in 2005. I'm pretty sure they were already opeating above capacity, had an ab...

I thought alcohol was illegal in most middle east countries. Apparently the idiot that came up with this idea was drunk :laugh:

Airport 2/3 the size of the city

Delt airlines has left bankruptcy. They are going through the typical rebranding and cleaning up ther image. Anyone wanna place bets on how long it will take them to announce a large order for new planes? Perhaps new B787's to replace thier large fleet of B767's. http://news.airwise.com/story/view/1...

Any thougts about this move of Airbus? http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2007/04/30/213552/a330-bargain-offer-made-to-emirates.html Thanks gentlemen! This is interesting and it is a large number of aircraft. Seems silly to go with the A330 when the next generation of widebodies are near ready fo...

The article is biased against A380 in my opinion. We here in Houston are ready willing and able to handle the A380 at the Bush airport. I say bring the big bird in
IAH is designated as an alternate for the Air France CDG-MEX flights.

No they cancelled their order with Boeing, nd made them look stupid Sorry, I don't believe that is correct. On 30 May 2006, Qatar ordered 6, B777-200LRs and 14, B777-300ERs, and on 13 December 2006, they ordered 2, B777 Freighters. Deliveries will start in November of this year. I thought they orde...

They are cutting cost where ever possible to get more revenue so they can go ahead and place the largest single order for B787's in history, 100+. I wouldnt be suprised if they did something like that
