Re: Maintenance (types &) duration

Hi Danny,

From what I noted, SFH has been in AMM for 1 month now. Before that, SFJ was there for almost 2 months. I don't know anything about the work done on them.

Re: Austrian Airlines in 2022

The addition of Premium Economy seats in Austrian's B777 fleet goes together with a reduction of Business Class seats from 38 to 32 - and an addition of 14 further Economy seats by 14 to 258. Austrian's B777 will then have this seating: C 32 (old: 38) W 40 (old: 24) Y 258 (old: 244) Should be quite...

Re: Alitalia saved by the Government and reborn as ITA Airways

Italy’s new government, led by Georgia Meloni, has decided to maintain the sale of ITA Airways to the consortium formed by the US fund Certares, Delta Air Lines and Air France-KLM. Does Italy already have a new government? It usually takes ages to form one. Belgium is no exception in that respect.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Meanwhile SFJ (so-called spare A330) went to Amman on Monday 19th. This seems to be in line with daily reduction of lh flights; eg: IAD flights have been discontinued since that day; winter season starting already?

Re: Lufthansa in 2022

Is LH trying to use SN and/or its other affiliates to help mitigate the impact of the strike on their passengers? By re-routing them through their other hubs whenever possible, for instance?
