Okay, that says enough. If NCB has no better reply he has to give up this idea and the case is closed. No turbo props to replace A320 series, B737 or Avro's. Thank you for the swift reply. I have a better reply to give. 134flyer's testimony is totally irrelevant because he is speaking of his experi...

OK, we have to look into the feasabilty of turbo prop feeders. We all sat in ATR, Saab, Fokkers and similar turbo prop feeders. But is there here a member who flew in a similar turbo prop for a longer distance than the usual +- 1 hour connection? To quote myself: I myself was once on a two and a ha...

The Q400 cabin is 23cm narrower and 5cm less tall, 57cm less long compared to the E170. There is almost no difference 23cm narrower and 5cm less tall; in an environment where every cm counts, I would rather call this a substantial difference... But hey, feel free to create your own company with 40 ...

they already made up their mind. they (the big guys) already know what the replacement is In the same interview Gustin said that a 30 aircraft order is quite big for SN, but they could e.g. 'piggyback' if LH places an order for 300 aircraft... Don't there need some B737's at LH and F70/100's at OS ...

Guys, do you think a combination of MRJs (to replace the Avrojets) and C Series (to replace the A319/B737) would stand a chance or would be an acceptable or even good idea ?. I will agree with NCB on one point : on "paper" (for me that's internet) the MRJs look very promising as do the C ...

When are they (SN) supposed to reveal the Avro RJ & Boeing 737 fleet renewal? The RJ replacement order would be placed end 2010 or early 2011 they said past summer. Earlier this year Gustin said in an interview that SN will hopefully (internally) have made up their mind by the end of this year,...

I just think it's pointless to react to someone who does not take part in a discussion, but states that we are all stupid, including all airline managers except Flybe's, and that he's a flawless genious.Let's go back to our discussion forum. Yes, you are absolutely right! But to quote yourself, it ...

Comfort is one thing but an airline first looks at CASM and efficiency. We're on the eve of emissions trading in Europe. Also, if you understood what I wrote, you shall have realised that I wrote some about lower yields. Price is what matters most to today's customers Hmmm, and who wanted to put Fi...

if i ask people who went on holiday with what aircraft they've flown they don't know, they don't even know if its a jet or a prop and to be honest these days a jet isn't that much comfortable either for economy pax. Maybe true for people who go once or twice a year on holiday, who mostly aren't air...

... even in the Avro, which makes the seats very narrow!

Indeed, although Mayrhuber meant LH mainline (A319/320/321 & B737). Anyway, the Avro's will luckily being replaced by (mostly) the EMB195!

Also, regarding short-haul LH Business Class; last week the German newspaper Handelsblatt had an interview with LH CEO Wolfgang Mayrhuber, as he was awarded 'European Manager of the Year 2010' by the European Business Press, the association of Europe’s leading finance and economics newspapers and ma...

Here an analysis about LH's African expansion on the 'other' website:

So it's official now, LH will start flying to PNR:: At the start of the winter flight schedules, Lufthansa is to begin serving a new destination in Africa. From 3 November, the airline is laying on five flights weekly to Pointe Noire, the principal port in the Republic of the Congo, pending regulato...

Thanks. So new C seats like the current ones or a completely new model as suggested earlier as well?

When do arrive this aircraft ? Before the 5th of July ? Or not ? :roll: It should certainly arrive before the 5th of July, this is when the extra AFI flights start. They will have a massive problem for sure if it's not here by then... Has the cabin interior already been installed, or does that stil...

I agree that the only way to act at the moment is to do as if LH would just remain a 45% shareholder. But waiting three years to add an A330 to the fleet to expand in Africa when all indicators showed this market remained stable during the crisis and Africa flights kept the airline from going steep...

Today, Air Canada is starting direct daily flights from Brussels to MONTREAL. Aircraft has just landed. Welcome back to BRU !!! (This is a Tweet from Brussels Airport) Actually, this is one day too late, as the first aircraft landed yesterday morning :D . Edit: I guess this tweet was sent yesterday...

Delta currently remains the only major American carrier to operate services between Africa and the US. The Star Alliance still needs stopovers in Europe. This might be good for Brussels Airlines and Lufthansa, but they might give ground to Skyteam if they don't react to Delta's latest move. On 20 J...

i still think AF has the advantage thx to partner DL Well, LH now has CO as a partner (IAH hub: oil industry) As to the shortage of seats to/from PNR, read the article already posted earlier, and especially its second but last paragraph. http://archives.californiaaviation.org/airport/msg35513.html ...
