Protest resolved?


As a result of the document leaked online which showed Eco Aviation plans to cut SYD as a focus city, protest emerge telling them that they would lose a vital connection, today Eco Aviation has announced that they will cut Commuter and Regional flights there but not there Intercity flight they said that “the reason why Commuter and Regional flights are being cut is because there is too much competition with lower fares then us, we will still continue Intercity flight (mainly to Asia and North America) but all Commuter and Regional flights starting on 20th of November will be axed”
The public response where mixed some said ok at least they are not completely cutting down there hub while others (especially at smaller airports) said that’s an awful idea one said “cutting Commuter flights there means we won’t have access to the Eco network” another said “that’s ridiculous, less competition means higher prices”
Eco is still negotiating with other airlines (especially Flexi Alliance) to fill in the gap which will take some time.

Virgin Atlantic Secret 747 Aircraft Spotted at Bangkok International Airport

A concept design has been spotted at gate s118 at Thailand’s BKK airport. The 747CONC design concept was a concept plane designed by Sud Aviation in partnership with Boeing and Virgin Atlantic, its goal was to be able to travel at Mach 2.3, while carrying the load and having the comfort of a typical 747. Only two were ever made, and only one being in service as the original aircraft VS9253 had an engine fire resulting in crash with a total hull loss. It’s incredibly rare to spot one of these aircraft, and avgeeks are flooding to spot this aircraft departing tomorrow at 0800. The Thailand Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra will depart to LHR to conduct sensitive discussions among other powerful leaders about the ongoing war in Ukraine.
