If anyone has more informations about 9W's new A330 config, I'm willing to take them. I'm intrigued.

Fitting a new version on such new birds must be quite costly.

On the other hand, VS has taken Contour (seat manufacturer) to court because they sold "upper class" style seats to 9W, NZ, DL and AC ...

Could this be related to the F1 grand prix that'll be held this week-end in Abu Dhabi ?
It was parked on A1 taxiway, weird.

Not to forget also: Etihad is also a major sponsor of Ferrari Fomula One Team.

3 x B77W leased to THY by 2/09 initial 6months wet lease, but then extension for 2 more years dry lease
3 x B77W new build JAI order for delivery 3/4/5 2009 leased for 3 years

Seems like AA upgradres ORD-BRU-ORD to the 777 ! Effective from 1st May 2009.
According to A.net forum, it won't be seasonal.

That sounds like great news.

The route has been flown by a 767 since 1988, with some DC10 intervals in 1991-1992.

Can Atlantis confirm this ?

It is confirmed and loaded in the system that the JFK route by 9W will be upgraded to a B777.
The same for BLR with 4 flights a week on days 1567.


That's strange then, because I've read on some blogs that 9W has revised that decision and therefore keeps the A330 to KJFK. And 9W's website gives ...

Just a few questions:

9W: MAA-BRU-JFK remains A332 ? (in that case three 77Ws will be grounded... if they don't serve DXB and JED from DEL and BOM). Is BLR confirmed ? 4x week ?

EY: What about the daily frequency ? With a bit of chance, we could see something else than EYD and EYE...

I know from a pilot of Cargo B that OO-CBB is on the way back from PEK !

It'll be in BRU this week.

FB.

Yes they have !!! Their 767s also have PTVs.

Enjoy your trip.

I'm sure that either ATQ, MAA, AMD or BLR will be the next selected Indian destinations.

At the moment 9W is also very busy with 5th freedom rights for their India-PVG-SFO flight. This will probably be routed via a Southern province city (BLR/MAA ??).

Kingfisher is also applying for BOM-SFO ...

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't type well.

It's well DEL-BRU-JFK.

So end october we will have:

BOM-BRU-EWR - 77W and vv.
DEL-BRU-YYZ - 332 and vv.
DEL-BRU-JFK - 77W and vv.

Hi.

9W's schedules for DEL-BRU-JFK are now loaded in GDS/CRS.
As from oct 28th, with a daily B777-300ER.
It's Jet's 3rd combination with BRU as a scissor hub.
Schedules are pretty much the same as for BOM/EWR (25 minutes of difference).

It'll be quite crowded in BRU !! :lol:
Now let's wait for ...

:arrow: About 07L. Not the first time the last days.

It was the case last monday as well. Also aroud 12.00pm. And also the sight of AT's 744 over the ring.

This is very non-standard. The SIA Cargo 744 made a very very late final right turn for VOR/DME 07L. A bit of KaiTak in BRU :P :P :P

What a ...

To give an answer to point 1: Dallas will be served by a B757. If plans are go ahead like now. But in aviation you never know.

I know the 757 are trendy on some new US-Europe routes but there's no way a 757 can fly DFW-BRU non-stop.
AA's 757 would com if BOS is ever opened.
DFW is definitely a ...

I would not play that game twice if I was a MET functionnary... Ryanair would NOT hesitate a second to leave CRL. It's written in the contract linking them and the Walloon Region.

When you know what FR does on a daily basis to maximize the use of its fleet, I'm not sure O'Leary is willing to ...

Once the A380 issue will be solved (meaning the A380 fully operational) it's always been widely known that EK will come to BRU.
By that time some A330 or A340 will be available to launch BRU.

Just a matter of patience IMO.
BRU is in EK's pipes.

Il est probable selon des sources internes, que le groupe se prononcera en faveur d'une commande groupée de 787 ce qui fera l'objet d'une annonce une fois que le 1er 787 aura fait ses preuves.

Mais quel sera le lobby de Sarkozy lui qui veut aider EADS a tout prix...

En tout cas les chiffres de ...

I've seen the plane parked in front of the old tower but I didn't know it was there for that purpose. It's indeed fresh from the factory.

Will it be a dry or wet lease ?

Cameroon blames France for the delay in finding the plane:

What you see is the result of a surging compressor. The bird ingestion can cause anything from a temporary "hickup" in pressure buildup (could cause a single surge, usually no damage to the engine) to fan blade failure and total engine destruction.

If the compressor stops to provide air at the ...
