Of note from yesterday is the return of Luxair after quite a few years away

I would say the A321 is more of a game changer as you would find more routes becoming viable with lower costs and fewer seats to fill. Not sure that you would need to have the LR or XLR versions running out of regional Britain going to the east coast USA but the LR for Jetblue really does...

9 trips in 9 days done 70 miles walked and over 23-00 photos taken with a large number taken at 20mph or above. Heavy rain on 1 day only

Ethiopian came very late to the scene at MAN. When we already had a plethora of services that Middle Eastern carriers thar could do what they do, What we find though is that they are good at connecting to Southern + Western Africa. In fact it was surprising that they came out and said...

If SQ were to start JFK from a UK airport it would be LHR only. Years ago they made it clear that allowing them MAN-JFK was a non-starter and it had to be LHR or nothing as they would have had to use a too-heavy premium configured aircraft at an airport that would warrant less premium and more...
