Don't really understand you message, but a 77W cant get full payload (MZFW) from Dubai to LAX, or vice versa. Not even close. Range 77W @MZFW: 5700NM DXB-LAX: 7250NM DXB-SFO: 7050NM Clark already stated EK flies LAX-DXB regularly with a penalty on the 77W (30-40 empty seats). http://www.boeing.com/...

On request of EK Boeing is working on a B777MAX. A newer version of the 777. For the moment the 777 is the only real ULR aircraft. The A350 is already delayed and the B787 is too small. The nice thing with the 777 is that it can take a full cabin with baggage and lots of cargo on these ULR flights....

You know there is currently only one route >8000nm? I don't think there is a definition* of ULH , but it is generally accepted any flight longer than 6500nm/7500mi/12000km or >15h qualifies as ultra long haul... *by ICAO, EASA, FAA, etc well if you would scrap the hub-spoke system and go point to p...

Thank you for the reading ! T. Clark doesn't say a lot .. They expect continued growth (that we know) and from everywhere .. OZ going to 12 daily, is a given (good bye QF). Doubling the nr of Chinese destinations (from current 4 to 8) is imo less obvious to achieve .. I don't see the Chinese lettin...

Don't forget Seattle is Boeing town also. And the rumor is we've extra B777's coming. (announcement at the airshow) What is your 'source' for this? I also think EK will order more, so any info is welcome. (but most articles i have read are orders for more A380) I don't think Seattle will drain that...

I agree QR is set to remain a smaller player than EK (not too difficult to guess I presume ..) SEA can indeed drain some Vancouver traffic (distance 200 kms +) but it's more than that. It's home to many ww businesses, very active business center and a considerable Indian subcontinent allochtons con...

Errors ? 1.Point 4 was a question ... You still fail to give me definite evidence that I am wrong (but I clearly stated I might be wrong on this point). 2. I never mentioned EY was or would become a mega player (pls read me again) AND I clearly mentioned they are "chronically in the red" ...

There is on a.net a topic running : "can BEG develop into a wwhub "à la DXB" ? It made me smile ... Indeed it's a recurrent question raised here and there : "can XYZ become a DXB-like hub"? On 2nd thoughts it might not be as stupid question as it looks as it raises the ques...

The reality is that many routes successfully operated by EK are working solely out of the cheer volume of small amounts of transit passengers EK is able to put together. The reality is EK is only able to attract sufficient volume from Europe by dumping tickets on the market. EK may pretent to be a ...

No indeed, yet the interesting thing is they did this faisability study prior to their surprise purchase of 45% of the shares of SN. If the excercise would have shown that operating from FRA would have been a profitable venture for them, you can be sure LH would immediately have added a couple of A...

simple calculation: what is the amount of Irish living in Australia and New Zealand, compared with Belgians living in destinations served by Emirates ? Couple this with the very low amount of Australians who fly their own airline Qantas and use Emirates and you understand my gut feeling. Emirates i...

To assist in meeting the future demand for highly skilled professional airline pilots, Emirates Aviation College is pleased to announce the launch of an Ab Initio pilot training programme (JAA Licensed) in November 2011. The programme will be open to all nationalities. The college has gathered the n...

I fully agree with Tolipanebas. When I left Thomas Cook (and the famous Egypt triangles) for EK it was like taking permanent vacation although we fly around 80 to 90 H/month. American, British, French, Australian or any other pilot, when we talk about the Belgian FT/DT they never believe me. A Belgi...

Capetown, the B777 seats were less comfortable because on the AMS route they put one of the older 777's. I always fly first and except for the showers and the bar I could not find any difference between the 380 and 777.

I wonder how many business passengers want an evening departure. If so, why doesn't FRA and AMS have one? I reckon there must be a valid reason why there aren't so many evening flights to NYC. BTW KL0643 Because my dear friend the NATTRACKS are westbound in the morning and eastbound in the evening....

Brilliant idea! In the current aviation environment you would have at least one fatal crash every week. Would you board a single pilot airliner with a young pilot, 250 hours, at the commands? A co-pilot has to gain experience. I'd rather not fly an airline where the CEO guesses the young guys will h...

New destination; as from September Dakar.
