Oh dear. The two flights directly in front of mine have been cancelled and Alaska is offering $800 vouchers to anyone who rebooks to next week, which is twice the value of the tickets. The (full) flight got downsized from a max 9 to an -800 too. Alaska is clearly desperate to get people off my flight, doesn’t bode well haha.

Great news. With those the A350F now has 101 orders in the books.
I updated the request A350F - Airbus A350 Freighter to reflect this.
Also linked a new Airbus webpage that has a bunch of interesting images and video.

Think it’s because Virgin do their TPA out of LHR, not sure if in 2027 it’ll go back to LGW, doubt it though.

A220-500?! oh and of course it’s air Canada! Haha well I know what they are trying but like… A220-500 I have only heard about it in a SWISS001 video but though it wasn’t real… why not the A220-200… (sorry if you think I’m hating or being weird I’m not I just had a long day in Detroit and Tampa)

A proposed A220-500 would be a lengthened version of the -300, close to challenging the A319neo capacity, so it makes sense to call it the 500 instead of the 200 which would imply it is shorter than the 300.
