Umedha, Another news for you. I am sure you will be interested.
I read from Usa today, UA is planning to title the longest revenue flight when they start LAX-SIN sector onboard B787-9 with flying time of 17.55 hours.
Will it affect the launch of LAX-SIN by SQ onboard A350ULR ? I think UA will steal the SQ's market on this sector as UA going to do this sector before SQ starts. I am a fanatic of SQ :-) but I never flew on UA before so I couldn't compare SQ with UA.
Do you know when does the SQ going to take delivery of first A350ULR to the fleet? Really can't wait to see the resumption of SQ's SIN-SFO and SIN-LAX nonstop flights.

Hi Umedha
I heard that Air New Zealand has updated their A320neo/A321neo delivery schedule. First delivery is delayed untill July 2018. First A320neo will be delivered July 2018 and first A321neo September 2018. What is the reason for delay?
What is the reason NZ didn't order B737? If i am not mistaken their most of the aircraft in the fleet are Boeing. Isn't that cost-effective having the fleet from same manufacturer. Unless NZ have the very good deal from Airbus.

Bombardier went complete "go for broke" on DL after losing out in UA deal. If DL deal fell through CSeries project would be in serious jeopardy
Boeing's action is equally short sighted. They saw a conducive political climate and are leveraging their new found friendship with WH to promote their agenda.
Canadian Federal fund went for R&D in Bombardier...R&D means only one thingHowever, Boeing at least look to the future as their stated objective is the prevention of CS500 seeing the light of day.
it is definitely a lose lose situation. as you can see heat is onThese trade wars are generally lose lose situations for all parties involved, but they are also a necessary evil to keep the competition on check.
I honestly believe CSeries is a decent product. It has performed extremely well with Swiss and AirBaltic. Very close for certification on LCY. It is the only product which can be compete against Airbus and Boeing...Russian or Chinese product has a serious reliability concern...after so many years Superjet has SN Brussel Airline as a customer on a wet lease from Irish CityJet...this is more or less as a stop gap lease and replacement for Avro RJ 100. Irkut MC21 or Comac C919 has still not found any customers in West.Leave a comment:

I did read it and agree that my comments were not directly reflective of the premise of the article.
I was more focused on the fact that DL order was not a very pragmatic move on Bombardier in the long run. In the short run, yes I can see the merits on their action. Getting someone like DL on your customer list with 70 frames is no mean feat, but at what costs in the future?

I am not sure if you read the above article completely...I think you did...anyway just snippets
afraid of CS500Boeing says trade complaint against Bombardier designed to prevent larger CSeries
In the 109-page filing, Boeing said Bombardier would be positioned to build a full-fleet of single-aisle planes -- repeating a strategy employed by French aerospace company Airbus -- if Canadian subsidies to Bombardier are left unaddressed.in the DL deal boeing even did not submit a bid. But on UA deal boeing went below cost and now stuck with that dealBoeing's claim that it is suffering present material injury as a result of Delta Air Lines' CSeries order
and now the retaliation
http://ipolitics.ca/2017/05/23/with-...ts-aggressive/
Boeing, however, was singled out for pointed criticism.
Sajjan repeated the Canadian government's thinly veiled retaliation threat to scrap the planned purchase of 18 Super Hornet fighter jets from the Boeing.
"A productive relationship between industry and government is crucial," Sajjan said.
"That is why our government -- and I stress this -- our government is disappointed in the action of one of our leading industry partners.
"We strongly disagree with the decision of the United States Commerce Department to initiate a trade remedy case in response to Boeing's petition against Bombardier."Leave a comment:

Boeing will most likely prevail.
It is obvious the USD 19.6M per frame price to DL is not 'business as usual'.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, I struggle to believe any airline paying much more than that for the CS100. Bombardier shot themselves in the foot with this order by:
1. Significantly devaluing its product and setting the price floor way below their costs.
2. Picked up a totally unwarranted fight with Boeing at a time when there is so much rhetoric on 'America First' hyperbole and an unpredictable personality at the helm in US.
3. Boeing is not just dragging Bombardier in the mud, they are also taking DL down with it and there is a real possibility that DL may end up having to pay at least part of the tax that is being discussed. This will make all the other potential US customer weary of exploring the C Series.Leave a comment:

They are a growing airline based at Moscow SVO. They are much smaller compared to Aeroflot, S7, Rossiya.Hi Dilusha,
Nordwind Airlines gets new livery. Looks modern and nice.
I guess one of the ex-SriLankan A321 with this airline.
I never heard of Nordwind Airlines before. What's the reason they are changing the logo and livery. Any expansion plans? Is it one of the big airline in Russia?
In early April, the carrier announced plans to take delivery of five A321s and five Boeing 737-800s before the end of the year. One of the Boeings has already arrived, and sports the airline’s new livery. On the widebody side, plans for 2017 call for deliveries of three A330-200s and three Boeing 777-200ERs.

A man named Kyle Haywood. Worked with BA, G9, EY before. The short term leases are mainly for covering the shortage of aircraft during the Hajj season and fill the gap till the main orders like the 77W, 738 and 788 come. Of course Biman has a good history of corruption but they have been making profits in the last two years (2015, 16) after years of losses.Leave a comment:

Who is the CEO of BG? How was their profit/loss was like on their last financial year?
I am wondering why do they have so many aircraft leasing for short period? I have seen few B747s, B772s were operating for BG for such a short period. Is it really need for their business. Or is it something the management filling their pockets by doing aircraft leasing.Leave a comment:

There were some talks regarding 2 787s being delivered in 2018. The B738s will most likely be replacing the Q400s as BG has already replaced the Q400 on three domestic routes (CGP, ZYL, CXB). BG does not usually disclose their future plans on media, the 787s will mostly likely be seen in LHR, KUL, DXB and in MAN, FCO, FRA, etc. if they resume flights on these routes.Thanks for that.
I just found the link it says they will receive 2 more B738 and 4x B788 by 2019
If I am not mistaken 4 x B788 are replacing 2 x A310 (already in storage) and 15 year old 2 x B772s in the BG fleet. 2 x B738s may be replacing those 2 Q400s which were initially leased for 5 year period.
They had a plan of getting A330s to replace A310s but they changed the plan and going to get B788. Don't you think its good for them to have all Boeing fleet.
What are future destinations planned during the arrival of B788 in 2019?Leave a comment:
