Former SAS/XFly ATR72-600 stored at EGTC

It’s nice to see some of these birds flying! I believe this bird is still in storage in Cranfield…

I guess I some old birds in here! And one which needs some wings 🤔

The sea of blue and white furniture combined with the drop ceiling also makes it feel very sterile. If I was AF, I would not want to market this... IMO it does not look inviting

Its not like OSS has been a thing in many European airports for a long time...

SAS launches new Caf Scandinavian airline SAS will open new mini-lounges near its main departure gates at selected airports this year. Dubbed Café Lounges, these are similar to Airberlin's Exclusive Waiti...

This entire lounge concept is strange IMO... I know SAS tried it all the way back in 2015. They clearly stopped at some point but I can't find when... Its just not a very premium experience

That I’m not sure about… I used a British account because I was studying in the UK when I needed to do it

Zoomed in picture of stored Avro aircraft and XFly ATR72

They are usually parked on the other side of the airport on a disused runway by the ARFF building.

Pictured here with an XFly AT72-600 (former ES-ATC) wearing the @flysas.com livery. It arrived after the operator went bankrupt following the cancellation of their contact.

Felt like posting. Here’s a decommissioned Avro RJ100 at Cranfield Airport. The airport is home to an MRO facility specializing in this aircraft type. There are a few of these old birds stored there, likely as parts

I've had to exchange countless bills as well from previous trips. Wyat I really like is the post office is also willing to transfer the amount onto your bank through a card payment!

It's saved on floppy disks

Unfortunately many people will say the left picture is better because its "sharper". Apple's overprocessing is like by many...

Maybe they're asking in case you only want one small plate instead of two 🤔?

They don't even have an AOC yet. They can't operate aircraft themselves. They don't yet have a booking platform. They don't have a schedule (current flights are chartered). Currently, they're just a company that owns an aircraft, not an airline

But how is EWR not already Level 3??? Any airport in Europe that's that busy would be!

A university owned Saab 340 used to demonstrate the physics or flight to aerospace engineering and air transport management students!

I got to experience a couple of maneuvers, including a 60° turn, dutch roll, pheugoid motion, short period pitch oscillations, and a couple more things

Brussels Airlines app saying the flight is operated by Brussels Airlines despite the aircraft type being an A220

My only complaint: the app and website got confused and said the flight was operated by SN even though it said A220 🤨

I had the pleasure to fly on SM2048 recently, and the hard product is better than SN's aging A319 fleet! Soft product is identical except everything is in English only.

This is basically nothing more than a rebranded SAS Plus, but that's what Eurobiz is about I guess... I'm still unsure about the rebrand. Trying to sound more premium when it is not.

Meanwhile in Europe...

I find the airport food experience to be far worse than coffee choices... Its so hard to find something healthy at a reasonable price

I still think there were other designs that were better than the Atomium...

And here it is, Atomium, the newest of the Belgian Icons fresh from the paint hangar!

~400 liters of paint used over an estimated 2,400 hours of work

Wow, those are some old subway cars!

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

The NTSB will brief media today at 2 p.m. ET on the Jan. 29 midair collision at DCA airport. Expect a status update on the investigation preliminary report, which is usually issued around 30 days after an event:

Tui Fly Belgium Boeing 787-8 taking off from Brussels Airport on July 14th 2019

Tui Fly Belgium OO-JDL taking off from RNW 07R at Brussels Airport in 2019. Tui will soon terminate its long haul services out of BRU.

The aircraft itself has been flying out of Amsterdam since May 2024, with occasional visits to BRU. It is currently in heavy maintenance in TPE.

You mention that all A319s except those of EZY have two overwing exits. Some Lufthansa Group airlines (Brussels Airlines and Eurowings) have leased used A319s which used to be owned by EZY, and so they also have four overwing exits.

What report is this? Is this through OAG Analytics or something else?

I can't seem to find it in OAG analytics...

Well at least in Europe they still show the correct name

This is Heathrow T5 pod system that brings you to and from Terminal 5 and some parking lots that are roughly 800m away as the crow flies. It opened in 2010.
