Eco 787 seized by charter airline
Yesterday a 787-8 that is used for holiday routes has been seized by the airline who owned it. It was due to fly to Lanzarote in the Canaries but passengers was forced off the aircraft, they eventually got on an A300 and made it to Lanzarote
The 787 that was involved yesterday
The A300 rescue flight.
The 787-8 has since been moved to the maintenance side of the airport where it would be stored to minimise disruption at the airport.
An Eco spokesperson said: flight EC1592 to Lanzarote has been affected by an aircraft being seized by an airline in Manchester, but luckily only had a delay of 15 minutes which the handles worked hard to get all the passengers all the luggage in that timeframe and off they went.
The CEO of Eco Aviation said: we had a horrendous day yesterday, over the next week or 2 weeks are forced to cancel 55 flight operating the aircraft, thatâs 250,000 passengers flight cancelled because of that aircraft being reposed affecting flight to the Canaries, the Carribbean, UAE, Thailand, some parts of Europe and India. We had enough its time to launch a partition to get people to agree that they need the aircraft back for our summer timetable.
They even filed a lawsuit against the lesser for braking leasing regulations, the aircraft was leased from April to September.
If they didnât win and that aircraft is taken than they have 3 options
- Redeploy A300s to LHR which would boost capacity in Europe, Carribbean and Middle East but would make less money.
- Get medium Aircraft to pickup the slack from the 787, great for European and some parts of the Middle Eastern but not good with Carribbean and Asian destinations
- Buy new A330-200s to replace the 787-8 but is an expensive option
Which option will Eco choose?

All World Alliance first Anniversary
On July 9th. last year the first informal WOA Alliance was founded by several long term players who pooled their contracts and resources in a close cooperation, flying under the âAll World Allianceâ banner.
Now, a year later, 19 members are maintaining thousands of contracts daily making money and providing Silver Planes in an unprecedented fashion.
The Alliance pioneered the âAMARFâ concept where unused planes are stored at non played member airports and the âAirport Relayâ concept where contracts are transferred from a member who finishes an airport to one or more members who are starting or active playing same airport.
In anticipation of the announced âIn-game Allianceâ feature other new concepts are on the drawing board. The first visible result is the new AWA logo, an overall design (still âunder constructionâ) with a personalisation option to be part of (future?) Personal and Alliance liveries:
To celebrate this occasion various members flew to PRG Airport with planes in their âpersonal liveryâ:
A similar meeting was held at IAD with planes in the âpersonalised AWA liveryâ:
The close cooperation between the members and the experience gained provides a solid base for future gameplay. We want to thank everybody involved for putting time in this game and hope to be part of it for a long time to come.

Brilliant! And happy anniversary! Not the first alliance though, discord members have had some going since 2021 at least, and possibly since 2020

Eco Aviation confirmes the unfortunate
Last week a 787-8 was seized by a charter airline based in Manchester for no reason, the court decided that the lesser will win and the aircraft was seized, this was brutal for Eco Aviation, thatâs 150 million people flight got cancelled plus 150 flight cancelled.
787 is departing
As a result Eco Aviation found an EX alliance A330-200 aircraft and sends to Shannon for repaint and an extensive Overhaul
A330 after repaint
Itâs due to enter service this week but for now there A300 and M aircraft are going to have to take the slack but some are soon getting moved somewhere and so have started to Hunt for M aircraft to replace them moving out of LHR.
What will touristâs do about it?

You could get the 321neo for some trans Atlantic and European-african routes
That is if eco has the money for brand new aircraft.
Or you could buy them second hand

There no used aircraft market yet, it was in the portal before 2.0 but Iâm not sure if they are going to add a used aircraft market since the portal was shut down in July or August 2023.

And waste 20+ gold planes on a narrow body, I donât have a lot of L aircraft unlock at the moment only 1 (A300-600) so unlocking the A330-200 would help (also got a livery for free from SXM)

Today horsepower airlines made an announcement that they will be equipping a small amount of their fleet with anti-missle systems, including jamming devices and flares (only on one E190). This is because of rising tensions on a handful of the airlineâs routes, including but not limited to: MCT-TLV, NGO-GUM, and BRI-VKO. This choice is not directly related to any events, but simply the fact of safety being a high priority at horsepower airlines (and totally not that I just learned El Al do this on certain flights)
I know someone is going to say this is political, and I wonât deny that it has some ties, but please for the love of God letâs be civil about it if we will discuss it, donât want this thread ending up like that last.

A new low cost way to Travel
Yesterday Eco Holidays decided itâs a great idea to grab a Privilege Style 777, cram as many people inside the seating and standing cabin even the cargo hold has the seating and standing, sent them to the most magical holiday of all time: Lanzarote, charge them for everything (including toilets) and off you went.
There was 1000+ people on board that 777 from NOC to ACE all holiday makers paying just âŹ15.99 for the flight and more for anything, so much so overcrowded that the crew members had a hard time getting the trolley through the aircraft cause it was so overcrowded and at the end people walked out of the aircraft very very tired and sleepy that they sleep while heading to there resort, there was so much baggage that they hired a DHL A300 to fill them up with bags
DHL arriving at NOC to collect bags to Lanzarote
One passenger on the flight said, the flight is a
nightmare, dirty, barley seating, charged for everything and uncomfortable, another passengers on the flight in the cargo hold said, that thing was a nightmare we barely had the toilet working in the double container, many airlines have toilet and freezer why canât we have it here and changed.
And now we have⌠Wait a minute⌠Is that the angry passengers from the flight protesting? If so I would⌠AAAAAAHHHHH! [news ending abruptly]
