Pride is back!
As part of a annual tradition of the airline Eco has finished painting an A320-200 (EI-ECH) into there 2025 Pride livery which rolled out of the IAC facility in Shannon on the 27th of May before heading to the Eco Engineering Works for storage until now where it flew from SNN to DUB empty which was tons of plane enthusiast flood DUB to see it coming in.


As a celebration of the proud livery which took about 6 months to do, the first passengers of flight EC478 from DUB to BIO will receive a free slice of cake which was made fresh at the bakery before boarding.

We’ve also made a Pride logo which will be used for all Pride events from now on.

But also as part of Dublins annual Pride parade they are not only using a aircraft on a kart like always but that same A320-200 painted into the Pride livery will also be doing a low flyby at the parade this year.

Seems like we are the only airline who fly’s around in Pride.

Mysterious crj spotted at IAD?
A mysterious crj has been spotted in Washington Dulles! This plane was seen being handled with fuel and nothing else… whilst the crew were wearing flexi handling outfits, which few flexi airlines use. It was ultimately determined this was a goldline plane, as goldline had obtained a crj 1 year back…


Also, a goldline employee accidentally leaked this livery on twitter briefly before it got taken down:

What could this mean?

CEO Orange Air votes against ridiculous airport proposal.

Today at the board meeting of the Orange Air Executive Council a proposal was discussed for developing operation plans for a very special airport.

The subsidiary Orange Air Ancillary Services, responsible for all non-flying aspects if the Orange Air Group, was inspired by the recent wave of “vintage” airplane requests. Also the (still not put to rest) rumours of a “back to the history” airport like Kai Tak contributed to the idea.

Put together, it was proposed to ask the developers for Tracy Island Airport (TXX) as a playable airport and introduce the Thunderbird 1 and Thunderbird 2 as “resident” aircraft for TXX.


The Counsel was not amused that Orange Air employees spend their business hours contemplating such nonsense and advised against it. The CEO decided the same.

a new day, a new question

Today at IDA, a handful of plane spotters noted seeing what was called the “liminal a350”, with one noting the name with “it looks normal from the front, but something seemed off on the side”

It was later made more clear after the plane parked next to an a350-900 that it was shorter, by about 6 meters.

Many plane spotters were confused as it would be an A350-800.

It was confirmed by the CEO in a conference following a major Embraer order for the airline’s future SCL base
“Horsepower manufacturing has brought another plane that never left the drawing board to life, that being the A350-800” Many people were excited, some confused. A couple airlines, notably American and the now Korean owned Asiana brought their original intrest for the type to horsepower, placing orders for the type once the frame was tested and certified


an unpainted airframe undergoing flight tests around IDA before being sent for certification. The destination airline for this frame is unknown

We hope sales will recoup it

I’ll happily buy it for €500 Million.
But, i will merge it into the main Eco Avation brand, sell all E175 and most E170 and deploy the E190 around Europe, Asia and Middle East after there repaint and reconfigure.

JJet Pull out of Europe All together
JJet have had multiple routes from IAD to Europe before, but now they are stopping all of them, relying on their Flexi Alliance Partners to fill the gap currently. JJet have suspended all their routes to Europe in immediate effect! You may be wondering why they’ve pulled this audacious move, well the reason is to expand with high demand domestic routes, using 737s to LAX DFW and SFO so far. Expanding on high demand routes helps boost JJets presence in the US.

regional return?

Today many noticed new Horsepower Airlines flights from Leipzig, with one to Kosovo and another to Bulgaria. The reason this is strange is the last time that Horsepower air had a major presence here was over 2 years ago before the airline went bankrupt in June of 2023. The two flights were noted as codeshares with discover airlines, which was part of a recent agreement between discover and Horsepower air.

“Leipzig was previously a large hub for us and we want to return, maybe not with our original presence, but definetly something close.”

Multiple Horsepower cargo aircraft have arrived at the airport within the past week, notably the following
5 B463Fs
2 SF34Fs (both being part of the Pony Express branch)
And a 77WF (the aircraft was blank, presumably borrowed from horsepower leasing)

Last days


as i previously metioned black lime will cease all operations with the expection of 1 at NGO & another here at SYD, they will be still operating at least 3 aircraft at NGO before all transferred the other 2 are for now owned by belgium asia
@Thatflyerguy will be sharing 50% of the airline with @Ecoaviation,
Bit unsual
NGO seems a bit quite from your POVs but in reality it’s busy with at least 30 arrivals per 15 mins thanks to ATC, & a Belgium asia airlines A320 was scene here with a revrsed livery


hopefully we’ll get updates sooner or later
