Tbf, that is a possibility considering Russia is tied up with sending everything they have to capture a square foot of bombed dirt every week. I do know that China delivered a lot of anti-aircraft weapons about a month before as well as anti ship missiles, which has some experts reckoning that’s why Khamenei thought he was safe to have his meeting on Saturday morning. I hope they keep themselves to themselves.

I am a bit worried about the fact that Emirates, FlyDubai and Etihad have begun limited flights though. Seems a tad reckless imo when the Iranian leadership clearly has very low regards for human life.

Speaking of lufthansa, unfortunate announcement from them. They are planning to retire all the remaining a346s in their fleet as they prepare to take on the a350-1000. Honestly I think it’s quite a shame because if they kept it around for a couple months they would have had all the longest widebody aircraft in the world in their fleet at the same time(777X, a340-600, a350-1000, 748, a380) but in another lifetime I guess :melting_face:

I like it but it doesn’t beat the old spirit liveries on the 747s and the old 777 one.

Can’t wait for it to be in the game as I think new the Royal Jordanian livery is brilliant.

Do we think they’ll brave it going down to Jordan, or will they keep it in FR/GE until things settle down…?

Should be alright, maybe a stop in Egypt then wait for airspace to be properly open

Depends on the demand moreso, I don’t think Jordan’s been taking all that many hits unlike other Gulf states. If they need it for flights they’ll get it down there.

An impressively terrible landing. The conditions looked quite nice, a little windy but it doesn’t seem to have cause any instability for the aircraft on the video.
