    Very unpredictable weather, but some good catches all the same.

    I though the SB Airlines was on the N-Reg, apparently not.

    They should have, but they couldn’t do it now that they’ve built up all around. I doubt all those people would want aircraft flying over their house every five minutes. :p

    Sure, A319 is a dog, but 737-700 did perfectly fine. Overall, I think there is a tendency to move towards the higher capacity end of the scale, but 737-700 shows this niche is/was valued: more than 1400 sales.

    There have been more than 1,522 orders* for the A319(s), and 1,457 orders** for the 737-700(s) to date. Neither a bad aircraft (in terms of sales), and neither an inconsiderable market.

    The lack of interest in the newer A319NEO/737-7MAX might be to do with the higher OEW and the one flight attendant per 50 passengers rule making the larger A320NEO/737-8MAX more desirable.

    On the face of it, it sounds to be a good idea. It might attract United Airlines back, and perhaps even Emirates might be interested in serving the region.

    Very nice, bet it was cold though.

    What is the first one? Looks like the love-child of an ATR and Hercules.

    The extra two A380 is a little progress for the A380, which incidentally has passed the 100 deliveries milestone today.

    The 777-300ER was a surprise, I thought it was going to be the 747-8i. That is a bit of a blow to the 747-8i, which is going to be surpassed by the 777-9X.

    It’s still a nice order for the A320 order-books. It doesn’t seem too long ago that a 100-aircraft order from one airline would be causing waves. That’s progress. 🙂

    All nice, but that Legacy 600 is such horrible colours, reminds me of Rhubarb and Custards.

    I think they should be looking to join an Alliance. I think SkyTeam would seem the most likely candidate. They days of big airlines operating alone are sadly going.

    It looks pretty good, better than quite a few recent designs (Hop!, Finnair, GermanWings come to mind)

    The article seems more about bashing Qantas, than that US-built aircraft are flying in Iran.

    Nice, and true to your namesake too.

    Good catch. Murky or not, I still think it looks great.

    I do wish they have “painted” one in the bare metal scheme.

    £402 for a full flex fare. I just checked their website, and a return fare for EDI-OXF can be had for £102.15.

    It’s comforting that Centrica have profits of 606m, and they only make £50 profit per household. Shame.
