Real World Aviation news

Shame so many airlines are retiring the a330s but hopefully the neo lasts for a few more decades

They really are making a big deal of refurbishing 2 A330s, they sent me an email from AerClub promoting it :rofl:

Meanwhile BA didn’t send one about their updated short haul cabin, which is quite a big deal :man_shrugging:

Really? Funny enough after you said it I look through my Gmail and Outlook account and there was no email from Aer Lingus about AerClub but All I can say, is don’t ever get it as there AerClub page is outdated and rubbish. Funny enough that my Emails are just a load Ryanair and Jet2 promotions from BFS and DUB tho

Ooo looks like FAT the ATR is coming after me and you for mentioning BA short haul cabin, I better now brace myself since it not far away

So emirates just announced their first 9 a350 routes, and MCT happens to be on the list, starting December 1! Flight number is EK866/867. It would be cool If we got to see this route ingame sometime this year.

when they get delivered in 2026

I wonder if Emirates are gonna fly the 350 to any London airport or Atlanta or DFW cuz that’s were I usually am

Don’t think they will go to London, as the 3 London routes are either A380s or 777s. Edinburgh is being launched using A350s though

I don’t think so, but only airport in London where i see A350 is London Stansted switching the B777.

It’s always ashame to see an airline go
Especially one that was starting to become more well known
But bankruptcy hits hard :sob:

It was getting bags off or on and I think it was a light that set the fire off

New service to Gatwick by condor


Euro Wings to Dusseldorf and Dortmund ( I think these might be short term and they are just for a few days as the champions League is over also air Europa are flying the 787 to Madrid and as the final was real Madrid vs Dortmund I think those services are only temporary)
Uzbekistan on the 320neo
And ITA to Rome and Milan

:warning: WARNING! :warning: (PLEASE READ)

There has been an upsurge of non official airline social media accounts (twitter YouTube etc)
Recently I found a fake Ryanair account on YouTube telling that they are official
Fake:


Real:

There is steps to take them down

  1. Don’t follow the instructions
  2. Check if it’s official with the :white_check_mark: on there account
  3. Report the fake account
  4. Find the official one if not found
  5. Let them know about the fake account
    I hope everyone can put a stop to these fake accounts from selling all the money.
