Mateboer vertelt mate-loos!Herman kennen we! Hoe dan? De gepokte en gemazelde verkeersvlieger Herman Mateboer trakteert ons via UP al jarenlang op bàkken en nog eens bàkken info & wetenswaardigs & spectaculairs & anekdotisch op luchtvaartgebied. In columns en artikelen op deze geliefde en veelgelezen site Upinthesky. Nou, in deze G&G gaat hij gewoon dóór. In High Speed-Engels / Drents / Twents. Herman vloog Mies Karrebies naar Torremolinos, maar ook tien nieuwe Ferrari's naar de Sultan van Brunei. En Herman weet dingen! Altijd al willen weten hoe nou dat nou precies zat met de DC-10 en de MD-11? Al dan niet in de vorm van pax-bakken of KDC-10 Tankers? Herman legt het uit. Uit ervaring met beide. Maar da's niet al. De Triple Seven komt voorbij, en B787. En zelfs de Lear Jet! Al bijna vergeten, met z'n straight jets en T-33-vleugels. En Herman wéét waarom de Boeing 737 uit de bocht vloog, op weg naar die vermaledijde MAX. Al zwervend van Marsh Air Force Base tot de Zee van Marmora verzamelde hij een giga-rugzak vol verhalen. En hij vertelt ze allemaal, in deze G&G. U hoeft slechts te luisteren! 

We hear from participants at this year's Cranky Dorkfest, the U.S. Marine Corps flew the XQ-58A Valkyrie drone with four F-35B fighters, American Airlines flew a B787 from Dallas to Brisbane in a 15 hour and 44-minute flight, a pair of corporate flight attendants are suing their employer, airlines are reacting to flight restrictions over Russia, and the Portland Jetport is replacing the firefighting foam with something more environmentally friendly. Also, a self-propelling ionic thrust wing, an exploding satellite, and thoughts on DB Cooper from an expert parachutist. Cranky Dorkfest 2024 Brian Coleman recorded interviews at Cranky Dorkfest on September 14, 2024: Melissa - Why she keeps coming back. Her husband is former military mechanic. Benny - A first-timer with a unique Boeing airplane-related telephone number. Jvan - He took home last year's brick mosaic. This is his 3rd year participating. Matt Sauchelli - He's shooting with a Nikon mirrorless camera and a long lens. Ben Grenuchi and Heather - From NYCAviation. Ian Petchenik - Director of Communications at Flightradar24 the live, global flight tracking service. Also, the co-host of AvTalk podcast. Brett (Cranky) Snyder. The man behind it all. For Those Who Didn't Attend, Here's What You Missed at Cranky Dorkfest This Weekend Aviation News Marines score aviation firsts with F-35 squadron, drone test and more A Marine Corps XQ-58A Valkyrie drone completed a test flight last week at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Col. Derek Brannon, branch head for the Cunningham Group, deputy commandant for aviation said “The flight focused on the use of tactical data links to enable digital communication between the XQ-58A and an airborne four-ship of F-35Bs from Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 214 and other joint aircraft.” XQ-58A Valkyrie, courtesy AFRL. The XQ-58A Valkyrie is a low-cost, high-performance, reusable unmanned air vehicle developed through an Air Force Research Laboratory partnership with Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. This vehicle is an example of an “attritable” aircraft designed to be used for several missions, but built at a cost that permits it to be a combat loss. American Airlines' longest flight set to be one of the most tracked in the world The American Airlines inaugural flight from Dallas to Brisbane in Australia was heavily followed on Flightradar24. Director of Communications Ian Petchenik said people worldwide “are especially keen to watch the livestream of the landing.” The Boeing 787-9 (N825AA), flight AA7, made the trip in 15 hours and 44 minutes covering a great circle distance of 13,363 KM. See Flight history for American Airlines flight AA7. Overworked Private Flight Attendants For Co-Founder of The Home Depot Claim ‘Inept' Colleagues Kept Their Jobs Because They Were in ‘Romantic Relationship' With Boss Two private flight attendants filed a lawsuit claiming they were overworked while working for the co-founder of The Home Depot, while “inept” co-workers had romantic relationships with their bosses. The two FAs, who quit their jobs, said they sometimes worked 26 days per month and around 90 hours per week. Why It's Harder Getting to China As a result of the war in Ukraine, non-Chinese airlines are no longer entering Russian airspace, so some are discontinuing service to China, or reducing frequency. Demand for flights to China is down, and the cost of avoiding Russian airspace in time and fuel is significant. Virgin Atlantic is dropping its flight connecting Shanghai to London, LOT Polish Airlines is suspending its Warsaw-to-Beijing flights, and SAS plans to stop direct flights between Copenhagen and Shanghai. Chinese airlines are adding capacity. PFAS-free firefighting foam coming to jetport The Portland (Maine) Fire Department plans to replace the AFFF firefighting foam used at the Portland International Jetport with PFAS-free foam.

Die Episode beginnt mit Harrys lustiger Bootsmanpfeife. Harry erzählt, wo er war, und Steffen berichtet, was er gemacht hat. Dann sprechen sie über einen spektakulären Heist in Albanien und einen Vorfall, bei dem starker Wind eine B737 versetzte. Es folgen technische Themen wie der Austausch eines Scheibenwischermotors und die Länge analoger Instrumente im Cockpit. Interessant wird es auch bei der Diskussion über die mögliche Einführung einer zweiten Cockpit-Tür und einer harten Landung. Verzögerungen bei der B787 und ihre Auswirkungen werden ebenfalls besprochen, gefolgt von kuriosen technischen Problemen eines A340 und neuen VR-Headsets in der Lufthansa Allegris Class. Die Episode endet mit einer Geschichte und der Frage, wohin Harry als nächstes reist.

Emirates has joined the International Air Transport Association's (IATA) Turbulence Aware Platform and will be the first airline to integrate the IATA platform within the latest version of Lido mPilot, the mobile navigation solution from Lufthansa Systems. Bringing these platforms together offers a wealth of data, combined with new technologies that make up-to-the-minute, highly accurate turbulence information and forecasts available for pilots, equipping them with the means to plot the best paths around affected areas for enhanced safety, efficient navigation, and optimisation of flight plans. In conjunction with the IATA Turbulence Aware Platform, the airline has equipped more than 140 aircraft with the required onboard software to automatically share turbulence reports with all airlines contributing data to the platform. All new aircraft joining the Emirates fleet over the course of the next few years, such as the Airbus A350 and Boeing 777-9, 777-8 and B787, will be enabled to participate in the programme. Captain Hassan Alhammadi, Divisional Senior Vice President, Flight Operations Emirates Airline, said: "Actively participating in IATA's Turbulence Aware platform and equipping our pilots with a complement of the latest industry technologies such as the mobile navigation solution Lido mPilot from Lufthansa Systems are part of our commitment to ensure operational safety, efficiency, and customer comfort on every flight. We're also proud to contribute data around turbulence through our Middle East network and extensive links across Africa, Asia, Australia, and other regions. It will help build sophisticated industry knowledge to effectively manage turbulence and evolving weather patterns with even more precision. This is only the beginning, and we are progressing with plans to integrate more cutting-edge technologies to elevate the flying experience even further so our customers can enjoy smoother journeys." "Mitigating the adverse effects of turbulence is an industry-wide challenge, and obtaining accurate and live data is key in this endeavour. The cooperation between IATA Turbulence Aware, Emirates and Lufthansa Systems will further improve the quality and quantity of real-time data made available to the industry, allowing for smoother and safer air travel for all," said Frederic Leger, IATA's Senior Vice President of Commercial Products and Services. "IATA Turbulence Aware data enhances the value of Lido mPilot by providing pilots with real-time, accurate and comprehensive information on turbulence, enabling them to make informed decisions and navigate more efficiently. By integrating this data into Lido mPilot, Emirates Airline can increase safety, reduce fuel consumption and minimize passenger discomfort, ultimately improving their operational efficiency and customer satisfaction," said Andreas Medlhammer, Product Owner of Pilot Charting Apps at Lufthansa Systems. IATA's Turbulence Aware is a global, real-time, detailed and objective information resource for pilots and aviation professionals to manage and mitigate the impact of turbulence on operations. Turbulence is the main cause of passenger and crew injuries and leads to higher fuel usage. The platform pools anonymized turbulence data from thousands of flights operated around the world. The information generated from this data enables pilots and dispatchers to choose optimal flight paths, avoiding turbulence and flying at peak levels and altitudes to maximize fuel efficiency, ultimately reducing carbon emissions. To date, Turbulence Aware ensured a safer flight for over 700 million passengers, a number that will continue to rise as new airlines join the program. Lido mPilot is an all-in-one mobile navigational charting application from Lufthansa Systems and has been configured based on Emirates' specific operational requirements. Lido mPilot provides pilots with easy access to terminal charts, a dynamically generated route map, and an Airport Moving Map (AMM). I...

Send us a Text Message.Welcome to the new ‘Literary Aviatrix Classics' series, where I discuss books written by and about our aviatrix pioneers with my venerable co-hosts, Dr. Jacque Boyd and Captain Jenny Beatty. In this interview, we get to know Jacque and Jenny, and we announce the subject of our first ‘Classics' discussion.  Dr. Jacque Boyd is an educator and a general aviation pilot. She has a B.A. in Education, Psychology, and Special Education. In 1979 she was awarded the Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship from the Ninety-Nines for her M.Ed. in Aerospace Education. She also holds a PhD in Curriculum Development and Supervision. Her dissertation was a study of math and science education.Jacque's writing expertise covers several magazine columns, including the Current Issues and Tools for Schools column for Aviation for Women. She also writes extensively for The Ninety-Nines Magazine with the latest contribution being book reviews. She currently does book reviews for several publications and has experienced the fun of ghostwriting.Jacque is a self-admitted book-a-holic with well over 1000 volumes. The majority of the books are aviation-related and most about women's flight. She also has all her grandfather's education books from when he was a teacher in Kentucky in the late 1800s.  Captain Jenny Beatty is a longtime airline pilot, author, and advocate for women and others underrepresented in aviation.Jenny's interest in aviation's early days stems from being in one of the few families to have three generations of women pilots. Both of her maternal grandparents learned to fly in 1930, and their daughter, Jenny's mother, earned her pilot's license in 1945. Following them into the air in 1981, Jenny became a flight instructor, airline pilot, check airman, and flight operations manager, and is rated to fly the B737, B747, B777, B787, DC-9, seaplanes, and gliders. In this portrait, Jenny is wearing her grandmother's flying jacket. To join the Literary Aviatrix Classics conversation, Jenny draws from her collection of over 350 books and magazines by and about women and other underrepresented pilots all over the world, including rare early first editions. She is a popular writer and public speaker on historical and contemporary pilot career topics. Read Jenny's articles and resources at wwwDid you know you can support your local independent bookshop and me by shopping through my Bookshop.org affiliate links on my website?

Après deux années de crise et des opérations en dents de scie, Air Tahiti Nui devrait conclure l'année 2021 avec un bilan à l'équilibre, ce qui est rendu possible par le soutien de l'État polynésien et les efforts fournis par la compagnie pour réduire ses coûts. Désormais, elle se tourne vers l'avenir et prépare sa relance, avec, elle l'espère, un soutien de l'État.Rappelant que les vols vers la France n'ont jamais cessé et que les passagers américains sont venus dès que les frontières étaient ouvertes, Michel Monvoisin explique également plus en détail les spécificités du modèle de la compagnie, de ses clients et de la destination.

Alors que Boeing a pu reprendre les livraisons du 737 MAX et obtient petit à petit les autorisations nécessaires des autorités nationales pour sa remise en service, le programme a de nouveau retrouvé un rythme constant de production, qui pourrait accélérer si la demande est là et si la chaîne d'approvisionnement peut suivre. Jean-Marc Fron s'en félicite, sans éluder les retards du 777X et les difficultés du 787, et confirme par ailleurs que les réflexions sont toujours en cours sur le lancement d'un programme pour couvrir le segment de marché des ‪757-767.Il évoque également les prévisions de croissance du transport aérien, qui n'ont pas été modifiées à long terme par la crise sanitaire, mais qui ont évolué dans le sens où cette croissance va devoir être rendue acceptable d'un point de vue environnemental. À ce propos, il rappelle quelles sont les pistes privilégiées par Boeing pour améliorer l'empreinte de l'aviation.Il souligne également l'implication de l'avionneur américain en France, avec ses équipes, ses clients et ses partenaires. Boeing a déjà recours à plus d'une centaine de fournisseurs dans le pays et essaie de développer encore son empreinte industrielle dans le pays. Il rencontre actuellement différents industriels dans le cadre d'un tour de France afin d'identifier ceux qui pourraient soutenir sa production.

Alon Pereg is the Founder and CEO of SimpliFly, an app based company that helps people alleviate their fear of flying.

This advice is my opinion only! Goal: avoid being infected, and avoid being placed on No-Fly list! Now more than ever, preparation is key. If you are in the high-risk group (over 65, asthma, heart disease, other underlying disease) don't fly. Avoid Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) Get vaccinated and take a photo of your vaccination card. Enhance your immunity with zinc lozenges and IGg. Don't fly if you have a cold. If traveling overseas, check with State Department (www.travel.state.gov). Check with Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov) for latest risk information, including quarantine requirements, at your destination. Consider travel medical insurance policy, including medevac. May be included in your platinum card. Keep all prescriptions with you, not checked bags. Use national pharmacy chain. Conditions changing day by day. Reminds me of how we improvised securing the cockpit post 9/11. Clothing: no shorts or flip-flops! I recommend long pants for women as well as men, and no high-heel shoes for women  I will discuss evacuation shortly Face mask - actually TWO face masks (in case head band breaks) carbon filter n95 aerotoxic syndrome - only B787 does not use bleed air from pneumatic system Bring empty water bottle - fill at filing station, not water fountain Anti-bacterial wipes Hand sanitizer - Bring up to 12 ounces of sanitizer - possibly screening delay Take your temperature before leaving home If it's above 100 you may not be allowed on the airplane Get COVID test before/after trip Put ALL medications into hand-carried bags fanny pack even better Check in kiosk - use smart phone vs touch screen TSA bins probably filthy bin covers  Wash hands after TSA screening Consider taking disposable gloves Stay hydrated!  airline cabins have very low humidity low humidity makes it harder for your body to fight off viruses some aircraft, such as A350 and B787, have humidification systems. Don't drink alcohol - many airlines no longer serve alcohol cabin typically at 8000 feet already party hypoxic being drunk is a type of hypoxia easier to get drunk at altitude Bring reading material, computer or kindle - DO NOT touch inflight magazine (if it exists) Disinfect ALL seat surroundings seat belt buckle armrests air vent safety information card tray table You may be sitting next to a total stranger - not all airlines block middle seats. Direct air vent onto yourself Pay attention to FA safety briefing DO NOT argue with FA, even if they're wrong! Lavatories - disinfect EVERYTHING you touch! flush handle faucet handles door handle faucet will not give you 20 seconds to wash hands AND water may not be safe! - use hand sanitizer instead disinfect everything again when you return to seat, including hands Evac - Keep your shoes on for takeoff and landing All occupants must be able to evacuate thru half exits in 90 seconds One FA per 50 pax, more if needed to pass evac test Luggage claim - sanitize luggage surfaces

In this episode, Adele and Jeremie share some recent news about aviation including travel restrictions being lifted for those who are fully vaccinated, United ordering the Supersonic Boom aircraft and a B787 with a collapsed nose gear at LHR.

Hey there and thanks for tuning in! This is a special podcast covering the B787 Nose Gear collapse that occurred today at Heathrow airport. I received several emails this morning asking what I thought about the incident. Although I've never wrenched on the B787 I still share my thoughts on this podcast. #787 heathrow EDIT - TWO CORRECTIONS: 1.) I said in this podcast that the B787 system retract is done through a electrical motor- I was wrong its still hydraulic, using electric motor pumps but doesn't use engine driven hydraulic pumps. BUT it uses electrical driven actuators on the landing gear locks. ** Thank you Tim.S for correcting me :) 2.) So some clarification: On the vast majority of aircraft, the NLG (nose landing gear) is more susceptible to collapse or 'fold' than the MLG (main landing gear). On larger aircraft, the over-center mechanism on the NLG is not very effective because much of the aircraft weight is not on the nose gear. Once the main gears are down and locked, on the ground you need three things before you can retract the main gear: Bypass the electric circuit protections preventing gear retraction on the ground; Lift the aircraft weight off the landing gears by jacking up, and Break the over-center mechanism using the hydraulic muscle of the landing gear retraction mechanism. As of what I can tell right now, the aircraft was parked and un powered. Thus even though I mentioned the 'human' element in my podcast- the aircraft was not powered up (from what I can tell) so theoretically the gear should not have folded- Even if the gear override switch was pressed in and the landing gear control lever were moved to up- The gear should not have folded UNLESS it was powered up?? ... hmmm So that leaves this: 1.) Were the gear pins installed on the NLG? 2.) Was the aircraft being towed and the brakes not released causing a failure of the NLG? 3.) Was their a mechanical failure in the NLG? 4.) Was there a structural failure of the gear 'BOX' structure? 5.) Or still, WAS it actually powered on and someone DID retract the gear on the ground? Ill definitely be following the investigation as it progresses. As always, thanks for listening and stay tuned for more up coming podcasts!

Captain Linda Pauwels is an airline pilot. For over three decades she has flown thousands of hours, on many types of big airplanes, all over the world. Linda even counts some aviation “firsts” attached to her name. At present, she instructs and evaluates pilots as a check airman on the Boeing 787 for American Airlines. Linda was born in San Pedro, Buenos Aires, Argentina. She came to the United States at age six, after the death of her father. Having experienced adversity early on in life, she grew to understand and appreciate the value of resilience. Linda integrates intuition and sensitivity, along with a graduate academic preparation in education, in her professional life. In the mid-2000s, Linda wrote a regular column, titled From the Cockpit, for the Orange County Register. She has been secretly writing poetry for a while. Unfortunately, that cat is now out of the bag. Linda has been married to Frederick, also a pilot, for almost forty years. They have two adult children, Nathalie and Patrick, domestic animals, and an Asian garden with a bird feeder. The family has a primary base in North Texas, near DFW airport, and a secondary base in South Florida, near MIA.

Shreenand Sadhale was working in India when, at age 26, he came across a Singapore Airlines advertisement for their cadet program. Singapore Airlines wold pay for the pilot training and pay the cadets a salary, and there would be a seven year commitment. Shreenand jumped at the chance. He requested the cargo route because he wanted to fly the Boeing 747, and Singapore was already phasing out the B747 in passenger operations. He attended training in both Singapore and in Perth, Australia. His training included flights in the Lear 45. When he started flying at Singapore Airlines, he was assigned to the Boeing 777, and was flying in the right seat on passenger flights with a total of 275 hours! He started with Singapore in 2007, and in 2012 Singapore started a low-cost operation, called Scoot. Shreenand volunteered to transition to Scoot, and was removed from the Singapore seniority list. In the process he became a Captain on the B787 and flew all over the world. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, Scoot went out of business. Shreenand also owns a Stearman aircraft in the United States.

Jim Ferrari has been a CFI for over 45 years. He fascination with flying started when he was nine years old, taking his first flight on a B-707 and getting an inflight tour of the cockpit. His father’s employment with NASA gave him the opportunity to see actual mission flight plans and activities. Jim wanted to fly in the military, but bad eyes kept him out, so he worked throughout high school to earn money for flying lessons. He received his Private Pilot certificate while still in high school, and earned the rest of his certificates (CFI. Inst, MEI) in college. After graduation he got a job flying in night single-pilot operations in the Beech-18, then moved up to twin Otters and Shorts 330 at Metro Airlines. Finally, he was hired by United Airlines. In 1985, when he was hired, he became a member of the famous “Class of 570”, where the class was hired to be strike-breakers, but they refused to cross the picket line and were subsequently fired. They were finally re-hired after almost a year of unemployment. When he finally came back to United, he became a Flight Engineer on the DC-10. It took five years for the Class of 570 to obtain restored seniority. Jim eventually became a B737-300 instructor at the United Airlines Flight Training Center, then worked his way up (through B767, Airbus, and B777) to B787 Captain. Jim recently retired, and plans to continue as a CFI.

For many years, aircraft manufacturers and suppliers in the upstream of the aviation supply chain enjoy higher protection due to technical barriers, and the level of competition in the industry is much lower compared to the lower end of the supply chain. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a large-scale blow to the demand side of air transportation, making it difficult for aircraft manufacturers and suppliers to escape. Since February, the COVID-19 pandemic has swept the world. As the closest link in the aviation industry chain to public travel needs, airlines bear the brunt. As the air transport markets of various countries are shut down like dominoes, an unprecedented large-scale grounding of the global fleet is taking place. According to Cirium’s updated data on April 17, 64% of the world’s 26,000 aircraft in service are grounded. As can be seen from industry figures, the current A330, A340 and B787 series grounding ratios of the wide-body aircraft have reached 90%, and due to the busy cargo aircraft, the B777 grounding ratio is slightly lower, about 75%. Also, more than half of the A320 and B737 series of narrow-body aircraft are grounded. Due to the possible deep damage to the global economy caused by the pandemic, the depression is expected to last longer, and it is difficult for air travel to recover as before in a short period. -Airbus- At present, the damage to Airbus’ commercial aircraft orders has begun to appear, and the aircraft delivery volume has also been greatly affected by the pandemic. In the first quarter of this year, Airbus cancelled 66 aircraft orders, with a net increase of 290 orders and a monthly average net increase of 97, which was higher than last year’s monthly net orders for 66 aircraft. Net orders include 248 A320neo, 42 A220 and 4 A350, while cancelled orders include 29 A320neo, 16 A220, 17 A350 and 34 A330neo. However, if we only look at the March data, Airbus received a total of 60 gross aircraft orders, while 39 aircraft orders were cancelled, and the net order volume was only 21, far below the average of 66 aircraft per month last year. In terms of delivery, Airbus originally planned to deliver 880 aircraft in 2020, slightly higher than the 863 aircraft delivered in 2019. However, in the first quarter, Airbus delivered a total of 122 aircraft, including 31 in January, 55 in February, and 36 in March. The three consecutive months of delivery were lower than the average of 72 in 2019. Delivery level. The aircraft delivered included 91 A320neo, 14 A350, 8 A220, 5 A320ceo, and two A330ceo and A330neo each. In late March, Airbus’s factories in France and Spain were shut down due to the pandemic. Airbus’ original production and delivery plans were disrupted. At the end of March, it announced the cancellation of the original 2020 production plan and delivery plan. Aviation analyst Sandy Morris predicts that Airbus’ delivery this year will likely drop to 650, and it may drop to 600 in 2021. Deliveries Cancellations Net Orders Backlog A220 8 -16 42 529 A320ceo 5 0 0 61 A320neo 91 -29 248 6159 A330ceo 2 0 0 36 A330neo 2 -4 -4 287 A350 14 -17 4 569 A380 0 0 0 9 Total 122 -66 290 7650 As of March 31, Airbus had 7,650 reserve orders, including 6,220 A320, 529 A220, 323 A330, 569 A350XWB and 9 A380, this is still a positive increase compared to 7,482 reserve orders at the end of 2019. After the outbreak, due to tightened airline funding and declining travel demand, the market’s demand for new aircraft will also decline, and the number of new orders is expected to decrease significantly. The current situation may be just the beginning. Although the impact of the pandemic is not very obvious from the perspective of the number of aircraft orders, the market will remain pessimistic after the pandemic has become a consensus in the industry. Aircraft demand is expected to shrink in the future. To this e...

Qantas and Jetstar are suspending international flights from the end of the month.The move has been triggered by the public health response to the coronavirus crisis although there would be some ''ad hoc'' services possible.The Qantas group is also standing down two-thirds of its 30,000 strong workforce.The will be a 60 per cent reduction to domestic flights in Australia and Jetstar will cut services in New Zealand to a third of what they are now.Earlier this week, cuts to 90 per cent of international flying and about 60 per cent of domestic flying were announced by Qantas and Jetstar.With the Federal Government now recommending against all overseas travel from Australia, regularly scheduled international flights will continue until late March to assist with repatriation and will then be suspended until at least the end of May 2020.Qantas is in ongoing discussions with the Federal Government about continuation of some strategic links.More than 150 aircraft will be temporarily grounded, including all of Qantas' A380s, 747s and B787-9s and Jetstar's B787-8s. Discussions are progressing with airports and government about parking for these aircraft.Essential domestic, regional and freight connections will be maintained as much as possible.Jetstar Auckland-Christchurch flights will fall to 14 return services per week, down from 42 and Wellington-Christchurch to 14 return services per week, down from 42.Qantas Group chief executive Alan Joyce said the efforts to contain the spread of coronavirus have led to a huge drop in travel demand.''This is having a devastating impact on all airlines,'' he said."We're in a strong financial position right now, but our wages bill is more than $4 billion a year. With the huge drop in revenue we're facing, we have to make difficult decisions to guarantee the future of the national carrier.With 150 aircraft on the ground there was no work for most of the staff.''Rather than lose these highly skilled employees who we'll need when this crisis passes, we are instead standing down two-thirds of our 30,000 employees until at least the end of May."Most staff would be using various types of paid leave during this time."This is a very hard set of circumstances for our people, as it is for lots of parts of the community right now.''

As we start a new decade, I'd like to share my experiences of the last decade with you. As I've mentioned in episode 300, my employment with Jet Airways in India ended toward the end of 2009. The Indian pilots were fully up to speed, and it was time for us expat pilots to leave. So there I was, 64 years old, unemployed, and no pension. I filed to start drawing Social Security payments and started looking for work. As so many of our podcast guests have advised, networking is the key to finding employment. In my case, I recalled reading an update from a former United pilot in our retiree newsletter. He had mentioned that he had a job performing airline audits, and I contacted him to learn more. He put me in touch with the company he worked for, ARG/US Pros. Toward the end of 2009 I visited them for an interview, and they hired me. https://youtu.be/Xxk3IIdJ7MU In January 2010 I attended Auditor Training, and then went on my first assignment, to Japan, in February. One of the reasons the company sent me to Japan for a month - four audits - was because I mentioned in the interview that I spoke Japanese. Each audit was five days long, and our team of five auditors (plus myself) would look at every area of an airline's operations, and debrief the airline CEO at the end of each day. On the weekends between each audit our team would work on our post-audit report and prepare for the next audit. During the first audit I mostly was observing, although toward the end I performed a lot of the auditing duties. For the last audit, I was "cleared solo" and operated by myself. The audit process is called IOSA - IATA Operational Safety Audit - and during an audit the team uses an IATA (International Air Transport Association) checklist to look at everything an airline does, to determine if the airline conforms to the ISARPs (IATA Standards and Recommended Practices). There are over 1000 ISARPs the team examines. It's hard work. For the next two years, I performed about an audit each month, and eventually became an audit team leader. Since I had studied Russian some 40 years earlier, I led a team to Moscow for a few weeks. By the end of the visit I was able to conduct the debriefs in Russian. Leading the team entailed planning for each audit and writing a detailed audit report at the end of each audit. It was a great experience, but I wanted to get a bit closer to airplanes. In 2012, through networking with some of my former Jet Airways pilots, I heard that Boeing was looking for instructor pilots (IPs), and I applied. I went out to Seattle and interviewed, and was hired to be an IP on the new B787. I started as a contract employee on the anniversary of my United new-hire date, October 16th. I went through the 787 course as a student, took a check ride and received another type rating: B787. Then I went back through the course again as an instructor-trainee. Since the 787 was not yet flying, Boeing didn't have any real airline students, so three of us instructors would practice our teaching on each other. Two of us would play student while the other instructor would go over the planned lesson in the simulator, then we would each trade places. Finally the 787 was cleared to fly and we started getting real airline students. I really enjoyed being back in a cockpit environment, but wasn't crazy about always being away from home. One day, a Boeing check airman told me that Omni Air International was looking for B777 IPs, and they were using the United simulators in Denver for their training. I applied to Omni, had a telephone interview with the Chief Pilot and the Director of Training, and was hired on a contract basis. So now I had two contract jobs: Boeing and Omni. Omni was great with scheduling, giving me work assignments a month in advance. Boeing operated a bit differently. Typically, I would get a call saying I had a work assignment in two more days. Sometimes I could accept the assignment, but often it conflicted with my Omni commitment. After I turned down several assignments, Boeing advised me I was no longer a contract employee. So I was all-in on Omni. Unfortunately, the United Training Center in Denver was getting busy with internal training, so Omni had to look elsewhere for simulators. Eventually, all of the Omni training was conducted at the Delta Airlines training center in Atlanta or in the Boeing training facility in Miami. In 2016, again through networking, I heard that a training company in Tennessee, ARCS Aviation, was looking for a B777 Subject Matter Expert (SME) for some software development. I contacted the owner, and he drove up to Atlanta to meet me when I had finished an Omni simulator period. We hit it off, and I started doing consulting work for ARCS. After a few years, Omni decided to use only their line pilots as simulator instructors, so we parted ways, and I spent all of my time as an SME, first on the B777, then the B787, then the B747. It was a great job that I could do at home, on my computer. Finally, the software programs were complete, and my work for ARCS was over. In 2016 I started the Ready For Takeoff Podcast at the urging of an Omni pilot, Phil Pagoria, and my son Steve. Phil became one of my first guests on the podcast, and will make an appearance again soon! Steve walked me through everything I needed to do to produce a podcast, and has been my go-to person every time I need help. In 2018 I heard from a friend, Nick Hinch (former RFT guest) that Wheels Up was looking for pilots. I hadn't flown in nine years, but had stayed current in simulators, and figured this would be my last chance to be employed as a pilot again. But, of course, my medical certificate had expired. So I made an appointment with my Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). And I did something really stupid. For over 30 years, I had gone to the same AME, and every time on my application I had listed all of my visits to healthcare professionals since my previous visit (6 months earlier). And for some reason, I don't know why, I simply did the same thing. I listed all of my doctor visits since seeing him last. This is important: the form only asks for doctor visits in the last three years. But I foolishly listed all of them, and some from five, six or seven years earlier, were no one else's business, certainly not the FAA's. My AME said he needed to send my information to the FAA, and the FAA Medical Department wanted some tests. Expensive tests, over $10,000 worth of tests. I saw the Wheels Up job disappearing, and asked the FAA if I could change my application from First Class medical to Third Class. No can do. Once you apply for a medical certificate, it must be either Approved or Denied. After many exchanges of letters, mine was Denied. After a Denial, an airman cannot get ANY medical certificate, including the new BasicMed. So, the only solo flying I can legally perform is in a glider, which does not require a medical certificate. One of my first jobs when I had retired from United in 2005 had been teaching at Metropolitan State College of Denver, in their Aviation Department. In 2018 I visited them, now renamed Metropolitan State University of Denver, to see if they needed a classroom instructor. My timing was perfect, and I started teaching Fundamentals of Aviation and Basic Instrument Flight, two days each week, as a contract employee. Eventually, I became a full-time employee with the title of Lecturer, and I still teach courses two days every week. In 2018 I was accepted to the Writers Guild of America Veterans Writing Project, and started working on a screenplay adaptation of my Hamfist novel series. (That's my son Steve sitting next to me in the first picture that comes up on that website). In the next RFT episode I'll visit the year 2019. Have a GREAT 2020!

There are two routes in China Eastern’s network that is of crucial importance for the airline’s survival, it’s domestic flight between Shanghai and Beijing(MU&FM) together with its low cost subsidiary – China United Airlines(KN), generated almost half of the airline’s annual profit in fiscal year 2018; and its most important long haul route, Shanghai Pudong to Paris Charles De Gaulle, is becoming the second most frequently operated Sino-European route after Shanghai(SHA) – London(LON) which is served by four carriers (Air China(CA), British Airways(BA), China Eastern(MU) & Virgin Atlantic(VS)) with up to 4 flights daily. In 2020, China Eastern Airlines’ Shanghai – Paris route will continue to served with a frequency increase of up to 17 flights per week and they are in the planing phase of opening a direct route from the brand new Beijing Daxing airport to Paris. “This year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. The heads of state of China and France have successfully exchanged visits, pushing the relationship between the two countries to a new level. Aviation cooperation is a “bridge” connecting the people of China and France. It is hoped that the aviation industry of China and France will continue to work together to contribute to the pragmatic cooperation between China and France and write a new chapter in aviation cooperation.” Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye In 2017, China Eastern Airlines invested 375 million euros in the Air France-KLM Group, holding 10% of the shares, becoming the second largest shareholder of Air France-KLM, and co-operating with Air France-KLM on four routes from Paris to Shanghai, Kunming, Wuhan, and Qingdao. On July 27, 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Eastern Airlines Holding(hereafter as CEA Holding) and Delta Air Lines entered into a conditional subscription agreement with Air France-KLM, respectively, to acquire 10% newly issued shares in the share capital of Air France-KLM after the completion of issuance of additional shares. CEA Holding entered into a marketing agreement with Air France-KLM to further strengthen the business partnership on the basis of good business relationship between the two parties. On October 3, 2017, the trading of the fixed issuance of additional 10% shares to CEA Holding by Air France-KLM was completed in the Euronext. CEA Holding appointed Tang Bing, its Director and vice president as the director of Air France-KLM. According to the relevant requirements of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the daily businesses such as joint operation and service security between CEA Holding and Air France-KLM and its controlled subsidiaries constituted a related party transaction of the Company under the Rules Governing the Listing of Stocks on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. On December 22, 2017, the Board of Directors considered and approved the relevant resolution regarding the 2017-2019 daily related party transactions between Air France-KLM and CEA Holding, pursuant to which, we will provide aircraft aviation transportation cooperation and support services to Air France-KLM and Air France-KLM will provide aircraft aviation transportation cooperation and support services to CEA Holding. The Board of Directors also approved the 2017-2019 annual caps for the Air France-KLM aircraft aviation transportation cooperation and support services. On August 10, 2018, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEA Holding entered into the aeronautical materials and components maintenance and spare parts supply service agreement and components lease service agreement with the wholly-owned subsidiary of Air France-KLM, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, pursuant to which, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will lease and maintain aeronautical material and spare parts for CEA Holding‘s 15 B787 airplanes for 15 years. The Board of Directors considered and approved the relevant transactions. On October 30, 2018, a wholly-owned subsidiary of us ...

After only two years of restarting the route, Air China will suspend the direct flight from Beijing-Zurich from October 14, 2019. According to the Swiss travel news platform - "Travel News" reported, learned from the tourism partners that have business dealings with Air China, Beijing direct flights operated by Air China to and from Zurich(CA781/782) will be grounded from October 14. Maiden flight for Air China's 50th A330 The news triggered speculation by the Swiss media. Many Swiss business and tourism agencies are concerned that Chinese tourists may be reduced as a result. According to data from the Swiss Tourism Board, the number of Chinese tourists staying in Switzerland in 2000 was 234,000 and soared to about 1.73 million in 2018. Chinese tourists spend an average of 380 Swiss francs per day in Switzerland, which is also the highest among foreign tourists. The analysis believes that Air China's flight to and from Zurich will potentially lead to a shortage of passengers. In June 2017, after several years of grounding, Air China restarted the direct flight from Beijing to Zurich. The source speculates that Air China's reason for abandoning this direct route is related to the two air crashes of the Boeing 737MAX. In the situation of current fleet shortage, the relatively new route from Beijing to Zurich quickly became a victim. Air China is introducing a large number of Airbus A350 passenger aircraft. Perhaps in the next two to three years, this aircraft will be used on the direct route from Beijing to Zurich. Also included in Air China's winter season timetable, the Chengdu-Kunming-Yangon, Chengdu-Lhasa-Kathmandu and Hangzhou-Surat Thani routes will be discontinued as well (all starting October 27). Air China continues to believe in the potential of the German-speaking Swiss market. However, the focus is now on the Geneva flight which operates under a joint venture agreement with the Lufthansa Group. "Why did China Air China really suspended the Zurich route?" Although it make sense that Air China, like all other big carriers out there, it's facing aircraft shortage due to the global grounding of B737 MAX, however the Beijing - Zurich route is a long haul route that requires a wide-body aircraft. The route will operate til October with an Airbus A330 aircraft, out of the 59 A330s Air China currently operates, at least 22 of them are registered under operating leasing which is reaching its expiry date, Air China will have to retire them soon while finding replacement for them. First Air China A350-900 take off Although Air China has ordered 20 A350-900 aircraft from Airbus earlier this year, with the opening of Beijing's new daxing international airport, Air China will soon have new time slots opening up at PEK due to China Eastern and China Southern moving its operation to the new airport (PKX), in addition, Air China 'luckily' got 10 prosent slots share at the new airport as well. So the question really comes down to, why won't Air China order more wide-body aircrafts? The A350 series is unlikely to be delivered in the short term and is now scheduled to be at least from 2020. The B787 series can't be delivered too quickly either. It's an unfortunate coincidence that now they even got one A330 less relating to news happened a few days ago. On the 27th August, crew for Air China flight CA183 from Beijing to Tokyo found out that the cargo space in front of the aircraft was sending out smoke. the fire quickly spread after the plane caught fire. The upper part of the nose has been burned through and the structure of the aircraft may have been destroyed. Air China A330 B-5958 @ PEK The aircraft that caught fire in this warehouse was Air China A330-300 passenger aircraft with registration number B-5958, which was introduced in December 2014. According to its flight record, the aircraft operated a round-trip flight from Beijing to Singapore today and landed at Beijing at 15:00. According to Air China's r...

Craig O'Mara didn't start out intending to be a pilot. He was a bird-watcher, and became more interested in flight as he watched the birds, and started flying as a teenager. He soloed as a 16-year old, and received his Private Pilot certificate on his 17th birthday. In 1979 he joined the Air Force Reserves as a C-9 pilot, flying air ambulance missions all over the United States, as well as overseas. He flew the C-9 for a total of 20 years. In 1985 he was hired by United Airlines, and served on the DC-10, B737, B757/767, B747 and B787. He was a Line Check Airman on many of these aircraft. In addition to his United flying, Craig flew as a pilot for NASA in the B747SP. He also flew a variety of warbirds.

Was zum Teufel ist denn da bitte aktuell bei Boeing los?Was für ein Desaster! Es hat zwei kurz aufeinander folgende Abstürze im Jahr 2018/2019 gebraucht, bis Boeing, auch dank einem fast weltweiten Grounding seiner B737-Max8 endlich gezuckt hat. Und als wir alle dachten, das wird sich binnen Wochen lösen, hört man von Qualitätsmängeln in der Produktion des Dreamliners, der B787. Und als man auch das verdaut hat, heißt es plötzlich: Boeing hätte schon seit 2017 über die Fehler der Max8 Bescheid gewusst, aber nach interner Untersuchung mit dem Ergebnis, dass die keine Beeinträchtigung der Flugsicherheit darstellt, keine weiteren Schritte eingeleitet... was bitte ist denn da aktuell bei Boeing los?!? Die Boeing 737 MAX-7 / Quelle: Boeing.comPodCaster Shownotes: Ich muss es ja nicht nochmal im Detail breit treten, ihr erinnert Euch alle noch an die zwei Unfälle: eine Tiger Air stürzte am 29.10.2018 kurz nach dem Start vor der Küste Indonesiens ab und tötete dabei 189 Passagiere. Wie wir mittlerweile wissen, war auch der Hinflug am Vortrag nach Jakarta mit Problem behaftet, was durch Zufall durch einen dritten Piloten im Cockpit "behoben" werden konnte. Das die Crew am nächsten Tag leider nicht dieses Glück hatte, wissen wir mittlerweile auch... Erste Untersuchungsergebnisse ergaben, dass der Flug nach dem Start mit ungewöhnlichen Höhenänderungen flog. Diese Erkenntnisse trafen auch auf den Flug ET302 (Ethiopian Air) am 10.03.2019 zu, der 157 Menschen das Leben kostete. Es folgte ein Drama, dass in der Luftfahrt seit mehreren Jahrzehnten nicht mehr gesehen wurde: nach viel Diskussion in diversen Ländern wurde in den ersten Regionen "Groundings", also Start- und Lande- sowie auch Überflugverbote für Modelle des Typs Boeing B737 Max-8 erlassen. Auch, wenn nicht unter den ersten, erließ die FAA, die amerikanische Flugsicherungsbehörde, ein Grounding aller 737Max8s. Dann wurde es noch unschöner: es kam auf, dass, wie bereits vermutet, das neue System MCAS, Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, daran Mit-Schuld haben könnte. Dann kam heraus, dass die FAA, auch für die Zulassung neuer Maschinen in den USA zuständig, teilweise Prüf- und Testberichte von Boeing unkommentiert übernommen und quasi intern ungeprüft zur Zulassung verwendet hatte. In der weiteren Aufbereitung kam noch heraus, dass die Anzeige für den Angle of Attack, der quasi die "Werte" des MCAS als Grafik im Cockpit ausgibt, bei den erstem Maschinen Aufpreis-pflichtig angeboten wurde. Parallel arbeitete Boeing unter Hochdruck an einem Softwareupdate. Die Max 8 schien bald wieder in der Luft zu sein. Und dann? Dann steht ein ehemaliger Mitarbeiter des Boeing Werks North Charleston, South Carolina, auf und weißt auf jahrelange Qualitätsmängel in der 787-Produktion hin. Es werde Schnelligkeit über Gründlichkeit gestellt, sagt der Mitarbeiter. Ein Mitarbeiter, der in der Qualitätssicherung gearbeitet hat. Sowie duzende seiner Kollegen. Seitens der Werksleitung wurde Druck auf diese Mitarbeiter ausgeübt, "die Klappe zu halten". Aber die Mängel scheinen gravierend zu sein: Späne aus Metal und große Metalsplitter seinen wohl in der Isolationsschicht zwischen Hülle und Innenraum nicht beseitigt worden. Hier besteht das Risiko, dass sich diese bewegen und z.B. Kabel und Leitungen beschädigen. Auch wurden wohl größere Gegenstände "eingemauert": die Rede war in einigen Fällen von Leitern und Montagewerkzeug, Dreck und Müll scheint wohl jeder Dreamliner im Rumpf zu haben. Und das, wo in der Luftfahrt jedes Gramm zählt...! Und, als könnte es nicht schlimmer kommen, musste Boeing dann bekannt geben, dass der Dreamliner ein weiteres Problem hat: laut einer Direktive der FAA aus Februar 2019 kann in allen Serien, also die 787-8, 787-9 und -10, ein Hebel klemmen, der das Löschsystem für die Triebwerke auslöst. Das bedeutet: bei einem Triebwerkbrand "zieht" der Pilot diesen Hebel um die Löschung des Triebwerkes mit Halon zu starten. Laut der FAA besteht allerdings das Risiko, dass diese Fehlfunktion bei dem Plastikhebel keine Löschung auslöst. Dies würde zu einem brennenden Vorflügel führen und könnte damit eine schlimme Katastrophe auslösen. Boeing kommentierte dies als "altes Problem", welches laut internen Untersuchungen nur bei einer kleiner Zahl von Dreamliners auftritt. Trotzdem sieht sich Boeing vor dem dritten Quartal dieses Jahres nicht in der Lage, eine Lösung für den klemmenden Hebel zu finden... An sich Krise genug: das Zugpferd ist seit Wochen weltweit auf dem Boden, erste Airlines kommen in finanzielle Schwierigkeiten deshalb. Eventuell wird, je nachdem wie lange das Grounding noch dauert, die eine oder andere Billig-Airline aufgeben müssen. Der Ersatz für die eingestellte Boeing 747-8-Linie ist angeschlagen. Wie viel schlimmer kann es also noch kommen? Ja, unfassbar - es geht noch schlimmer! Im Mai 2017 fand Boeing heraus, dass ein Warnsystem im Cockpit der Max8 nicht richtig funktioniert. Und das Ergebnis der internen Untersuchung habe ich oben schon zitiert: keine Beeinträchtigung der Flugsicherheit. Das hat sich mittlerweile als radikale Fehleinschätzung entpuppt. Sowohl die oberste Führungsriege als auch die FAA wurden über die Erkenntnis und das Ergebnis der Boeing-Untersuchung nicht informiert - dies geschah erst rund eine Woche nach dem ersten Absturz im Oktober letzten Jahres. Führen wir es zusammen: Die beiden Unfälle haben 346 Menschen getötet. Erste Untersuchungen verweisen auf das neue System MCAS. Und der interne Untersuchungsbericht sieht als Schuldigen einen Zusammenhang mit dem neuen System MCAS. Aktuell ist noch unklar, ob und wie weit MCAS für die beiden Abstürze eine entscheidende Rolle spielte oder nicht. Allerdings lassen bisherige Ergebnisse und die scheibchenweise ans Tageslicht kommenden Informationen kein wirklich gutes Licht auf Boeing scheinen... Ihr dürft jetzt alles tun, nur mich nicht fragen, ob man bei Boeing noch einsteigen möchte: die bisherigen Vorwürfe lassen den Dreamliner eher als tickende Zeitbombe erscheinen, die Max ist gegroundet - und die restlichen Modelle haben eine äußerst positive Bilanz. Entscheidet das also für Euch selbst, ich will und werde hierzu keinen Ratschlag geben! Blue Skies and Happy Landings! Meinen PodCast abonnieren: | direkt | iTunes | Spotify | Google |

Now we'll talk about a RAT on a plane. A ram air turbine (RAT) is a small wind turbine that is connected to a hydraulic pump, or electrical generator, installed in an aircraft and used as a power source. The RAT generates power from the airstream by ram pressure due to the speed of the aircraft. Modern aircraft generally use RATs only in an emergency. In case of the loss of both primary and auxiliary power sources the RAT will power vital systems (flight controls, linked hydraulics and also flight-critical instrumentation). Some RATs produce only hydraulic power, which is in turn used to power electrical generators. In some early aircraft (including airships), small RATs were permanently mounted and operated a small electrical generator or fuel pump. Modern aircraft generate power in the main engines or an additional fuel-burning turbine engine called an auxiliary power unit, which is often mounted in the rear of the fuselage or in the main-wheel well. The RAT generates power from the airstream due to the speed of the aircraft. If aircraft speeds are low, the RAT will produce less power. In normal conditions the RAT is retracted into the fuselage (or wing), and is deployed manually or automatically following complete loss of power. In the time between power loss and RAT deployment, batteries are used. On the B787, the RAT extends automatically if any of the following occur: Ram Air Turbine (RAT) Generator • both engines are failed • all three hydraulic system pressures are low • loss of all electrical power to captain’s and first officer’s flight instruments • loss of all four EMPs and faults in the flight control system occur on approach • loss of all four EMPs and an engine fails on takeoff or landing

“The world is an adventure” Paul Spencer is powered by passion. Having spent his career in Aviation, Paul believes that all aviation passengers, be it young, old, frequent business flyer or leisure passengers, are all inextricably linked and share one common life experience: We were all once that young child staring out of the terminal window wondrously gazing towards the aircraft due to fly us on our first ever flight. As with all young children, we were excited, enthralled and passionate about travelling to somewhere new. “We should grab opportunities with both hands and whatever the task; do it to the best of our ability with enthusiasm and above all passion!” Throughout his career in aviation, Paul has worked for leading international carriers and today he remain deeply passionate about the aviation and tourism industries. Paul deliberately aims to become a strategic game changing influencer who is an inspirational and motivational leader bridging sales to success. The 21st Century really has arrived!

Hello everyone! My name is Benjamin I am an analyst with the asset valuation team here at mba. Let't take a look at whats going on in the industry. In fleet and deliveries Virgin Atlantic (UK) took delivery of one new B787-9 Brussels Airlines (Belgium) took delivery of one A320-200, leased from Avolon (Ireland). Scoot (Singapore) took delivery of one A320-200, leased from Pembroke Capital (Ireland). Copa Airlines (Panama) took delivery of one new B737-800.

Today ATR announced a deal with Silver Airways for 20 new aircraft. 16 ATR-600s and four 72-600 aircraft. This marks the first time ATR-600 will be operated in the US. With orders from Silver Airways Fedex, Indigo and Iran air last year, ATR has garnered 113 firm orders in 2017, compared to 36 in 2016. The latest deal with Silver Airways is also significant to Nordic Aviation Capital as it will be the 100th new aircraft order placed by the leader in regional aircraft leasing. Airbus Helicopters announced its results for last year that saw orders fall in 2017 compared to 2016 with 350 orders at the end of the year compared to 388 last year. Deliveries were also down this year with 409 helicopters delivered compared to 418 in 2016. Despite this, Airbus still maintains its 50% market share of the civil and parapublic helicopter market. One segment that Airbus has particularly struggled with in the past year is its heavy twins in the civil market segment. The super puma has failed to garner new orders in the oil and gas industry after the bad publicity that followed a fatal crash in 2016. Despite this military orders for the Super Puma family of aircraft remain strong keeping the program alive while the offshore passenger transport industry is recovering In Airline and traffic news Iberia (Spain) to start A350-900 service to New York and London in August 2018.

Air Berlin (Germany) creditors reportedly threaten a lawsuit of up to US$2.4 billion-dollarst against Etihad (UAE). Thank you for listening and we will see you again tomorrow for more news and updates.

Call it our year-in-preview show. In this first episode of 2017, we look at some of the more interesting stories that are ushering in the airline industry’s new year. Of course, 2017 doesn’t promise answers to all our questions. But we can hope, can’t we? Some of those questions: Leisure demand was one of the defining stories of 2016—will the trend continue? Is the burgeoning low-cost longhaul model for real? What about premium travel? Will Airbus and Boeing see a rebound in aircraft orders? Will the CSeries continue the momentum it saw in 2016? Will Singapore Airlines finally get out of its rut? Where will Qantas fly its B787-900s? Will Ryanair or easyJet interline? Will the Gulf carriers continue to decelerate growth? Will Air Canada continue its aggressive expansion? And in the U.S., have we finally seen a peak in the mighty earnings cycle of 2015/2016?

If anybody needed a reminder that the airline business is an interesting business, they got it last week as Air Berlin announced it will be handing over a big chunk of itself to arch competitor Lufthansa. Will Air Berlin be saved by shrinking itself? Not stopping there, Lufthansa decided it would also become the full owner of Brussels Airlines. Are either of these acquisitions a good thing for Lufthansa? Meanwhile, Air Canada continues to treat the world like it’s a buffet, loading its plate with six new intercontinental routes last week. One thing fueling Air Canada’s aggressiveness is the B787, which, by the way, just crossed the five-year anniversary of its first delivery. Delta has set its sights on Boston, and that could spell trouble for JetBlue. And IAG has further deepened its alliance with Qatar Airways.

We're celebrating 1 Year of FlightCast! To help us and chat about the release of the B787 is Infinite Flight developer and co-founder, Philippe Rollin.
