I would not be surprised if Boeing will look to Easter Europe for a low end replacement for the 737 (70-90 seats). I mean the Sukhoi/Alenia program. What do you think?

Why don't we leave the political aspects of this subject to an appropriate political forum somewhere else.
If the passengers on those flights are not deplaning in Antwerp, or any other intermediate point, why should the airport authority care. The country of the originating flight and the ...

• you can't call this aircraft new after all the severe testing the plane has gone through

Aircraft used for flight testing are delivered to the customer at a discount.

What about security. A/A missile to the airline that represent the wrong country? ?

Regi,

I think you need a good blessing because you've been very unlucky . I flew hundred of times with Alitalia and is a la par with all the other European airlines. Better than the Americans and worst than the Asians.

TUI Hollands got already a couple of 767 from HXL. Doesn't make sense to pull together these aicrafts and OO-TUC?

It's a fact that both the European governments and US government subsidize, via military contracts, Airbus and Boeing. This will put them on the same starting level. Something for sure the US government will not do to Boeing is garanteeing development cost for an airliner. Why can't the EU ...

It's about time EU stops subsidizing Airbus!

Another unnecessary blackhole for the Italian taxpayers.

why Boeing doesn't hold back the orders and announces them on the Paris Air Show

Typically Boeing is less flamboyant than Airbus. They don't have to show to the taxpayers of the various Nations that are part of Airbus that their money is well spent and that order are coming from all over. 8O ...

Why give it away now when the new one will not be available for some time

For aiplane flying for the first time it is easy to predict the aerodynamic behaviour, but something else is to check it in a real flight. That's why in the A380 case it was retracted only at 10000 ft, after the crew made the necessary checks and got a feeling of the aicraft.

I flew BA 757 the first time in 1985 and the inpression I got I still remember. Very long cabin and spacious. 31 minutes flight.
One of the last times was SJO-HNL with AA, 5h16 minutes flight. Very confortable airplane.

1974 Kalibo-IloIlo Air Manila Dart Herald. Only my wife and I plus.........200? chickens making a lot of noise!

I know that many Italians have the means to go to Ukraine as tourist, but is there a reciprocal traffic?

The 717 is based on the DC9 design also, but the cockpit and every single piece of electronics, wires and system have been totally redesigned and new technology engines added.
I would call it a new model!

Italian industry is Alenia, Augusta, Aermacchi, etc and they don't have anything to do with Alitalia. Alitalia is an airline supposed to offer a service of good quality and cost. If it does not, than let somebody else do it.

Everybody can use the code they want but Boeing designation for the 737 New Generation is : -7xx, -8xx, -9xx

xx stand for the customer model.

Pride in an airlines may be was good years ago, when nationalistic values prevailed. But today who cares about the name of the carrier if the service is good! Why, as a tax payer should I shoulder the cost of a fancy, but inproductive, airlines?

I took it down at that time but I must have got it wrong. Something sure is that it was not an SP and it was coming from some french airlines because of the french writings.
