Mexico Raises Alert Level As Volcano Rumbles Near Capital

by Tomos Shah-Howells May 21, 2023

written by Tomos Shah-Howells

The Mexican government has increased the alert levels in case the Volcano – Popocatepetl continues to show signs of a larger eruption. The initial eruption saw Mexico City airport closed for a period of time over the weekend, and now with an Ash cloud from the Surfance towering to FL260 getting pushed in the wind, further flight disruption is likely.

Mexico City airport was quoted on Twitter saying: “After removing the volcanic ash, checking the runways and verifying favourable wind conditions, we resumed takeoff and landing operations starting at 10.00 am,”

“Check with your airline the status of your flight.”

Weekend Long Activity

The initial eruption took place on Friday, May 19, with the airport reopening on Saturday, May 20. But there still remain over-riding concerns of further danger as the Volcano has once again on Sunday, May 21, continued to spew our Volcanic ash and rocks, leading some to believe another eruption may take place soon.

[monsterinsights_popular_posts_inline]

Data from RadarBox.com shows General Heriberto Jara Intl. The airport has already cancelled or delayed all inbound and outbound flights for the rest of the day and into tomorrow morning, with the Volcanic ash cloud approaching closer and closer to the seaside city of Veracruz.

Why is Volcanic Ash So Bad For Planes?

Volcanic ash is a menace to any aircraft that crosses its path. The fine, sharp-edged particles of this volcanic debris pose a significant threat to the engines as they can melt and stick to the turbine blades, leading to power loss or total engine failure.

In fact, it’s not just highly active volcanoes that are dangerous; even an airborne plume from an “inactive” volcano can disrupt flights for miles around due to the wide dispersion radius of its ejected materials. These eruptions are unpredictable and occur with little warning, which makes it challenging for pilots to avoid them entirely.

Furthermore, aviation authorities must shut down airspaces when there is volcanic activity in progress so as not to risk passenger safety or contribute to further environmental damage caused by these eruptions and their aftermath.

Possible Repeat of 2010 Icelandic Volcano Disruption?

While it seems unlikely that we will see the same level of disruption as we did in the Icelandic volcano eruption back in 2010, where multiple eruptions caused mass delays and travel chaos all across Europe and the U.S., with many international flights being affected.

However, the volcano sits and will be pushing its volcanic ash clouds directly over one of the main arteries that connect North and South American travellers.

Air France Boeing 777 Declares Emergency

by Tomos Shah-Howells May 21, 2023

written by Tomos Shah-Howells

An Air France Boeing 777-300ER operating as flight AF276 from Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) to Tokyo Narita Airport (NRT), turned back while passing through Georgian airspace and has now declared a general emergency. The flight is now returning to Paris.

Update #1 @ 18:20 Zulu

The aircraft is flying directly towards Paris CDG and is now beginning to descend towards the airport.

It is not yet clear as to what the nature of the emergency is, but the airframe F-GZNS is only 7 years old and had only 24 hours ago operated two scheduled flights with no reported problems.

Update #2 @ 18:35 Zulu

Air France Flight AF276 has now touched down in Paris CDG, and we await now to hear any official confirmation or statement from the airline as to the nature of the emergency, and why the flight crew elected to return to Paris when it was around half way into the flight.

Spirit Airlines Takes 200th Delivery From Airbus; Adds To Boston Summer Network

by Tomos Shah-Howells April 26, 2023

written by Tomos Shah-Howells

U.S. ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines has announced that it has taken its 200th aircraft delivery from European manufacturer Airbus as the two companies mark a historic moment in their long relationship.

The 200 Club

Spirit Airlines is one of the largest Airbus airline fleets in the world, with it now operating an active fleet of 188 A319, A320 and A321 aircraft.

In 2022 the carrier added 14 new A320neos into service with an additional 26 due in 2023, with the carrier’s first A321neo expected this year.

Spirit Airlines President and CEO Ted Christie commented on the delivery saying: “Our new, fuel-efficient aircraft allow us to deliver on our promise to give our Guests both an affordable and great experience,”

“Spirit’s Pilots truly enjoy flying our modern aircraft fleet, and we’d like to thank Airbus for their long-term partnership. I’d also like to recognize all our Spirit Family Members and business partners who prepare our planes for service and keep them in tip-top shape with safety as their top priority.”

[monsterinsights_popular_posts_inline]

With the addition of the new 26 aircraft this year, it will also see the ale of all 26 of the airlines’ A319s despite the carrier’s recent expenditure of upgrading them all. It will further reduce the airline’s average fleet age down to around 5 years old, making it one of the youngest and most fuel-efficient fleets in the world.

C. Jeffrey Knittel, President and CEO of Airbus Americas, Inc said: “The 200th aircraft delivery from Airbus to Spirit Airlines is not only a major milestone, but also reflects the trust they have in our products that provide the best passenger experience their customers demand combined with the cost and environmentally efficient operations the airline needs,”

“Spirit has one of the youngest and most fuel-efficient fleets in the U.S. thanks to the benefits offered by our A320 Family of aircraft.”

New Summer Routes From Boston

In addition to the announcement of receiving its 200th Airbus, Spirit also announced they would be adding an additional 5 daily services from Boston this summer with the new services being offered permanently year-round.

Destination	Service Frequancy	Service Frequency
Charlotte (CLT)	Daily	June 7, 2023
Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW)	Daily	June 7, 2023
Houston (IAH)	Daily	August 9, 2023
Los Angeles (LAX)	Daily	July 5, 2023
Phoenix (PHX)	Daily	August 9, 2023

John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines said: “It’s exciting to grow our service in Boston and provide new nonstop options to a variety of popular destinations across the country.”

“We trust Bostonians will appreciate the great value and convenience we provide our Guests at such affordable prices,”

“Special thanks to Ed Freni and the terrific team at Massport for their partnership and this opportunity to deepen our New England ties.”

The new routes continue to see Spirit Airlines push forward with its planned expansions and offer more competition to the other carriers operating out of Boston.

Austrian Airlines Set To Increase Dreamliner Fleet Size

by Tomos Shah-Howells April 19, 2023

written by Tomos Shah-Howells

European Carrier Austrian Airlines has announced it will increase its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner fleet size to ten aircraft, as the carrier looks towards the future more and focuses on modernisation.

Economic and Carbon Targets

The airline said it will increase the 787-9 Dreamliner fleet size from nine to ten aircraft starting from 2024 as it looks to continue to push forward to meet European and global carbon neutrality targets, as the growing pressure on countries and business continues to mount around the climate crisis, which is predicted to be at its height between the years 2040 – 2050 should no significant changes to CO2 emissions are changed.

In addition to these targets, the additional aircraft will allow Austrian Airlines to completely overhaul its long-haul fleet. The carrier confirms that the Dreamliners will fully replace their ageing 777 and 767 aircraft, which currently serve across their long-haul service.

Austrian Airlines CEO Annette Mann said: “With the ‘Dreamliner’ Austrian Airlines is taking off to a new era of aircraft and is setting course for growth. The fleet induction of ten Boeing 787-9 in the coming five years shows that we are fit for investments and the future”

Start of a New Era

The carrier is expecting the first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to touch down at its Vienna hub at the beginning of 2024 which will expand the flag carriers fleet up to 66 aircraft allowing it to offer more options and potentially new destinations during its summer flight schedule.

The remaining nine Dreamliners will then replace the current long haul fleet of 777 and 767 by 2028, which are due to be transferred gradually from Lufthansa Airlines, which means the 10 Dreamliner will be coming from existing orders from the Lufthansa Group.

It will be one of the largest fleet rejuvenation programs in Austrian’s history, bringing the airline forward to a new modern era for international and widebody travel as it looks to meet the rising demand in travel expected over the next 20 years.

Austrian Airlines COO Francesco Sciortino said: “With Boeing 787-9 we are bringing one of the most innovative long-haul models on the market to Austrian Airlines. This is a team effort Austrian Airlines can be proud of.“

Dreamliner Woes, A350 Options

While there can be no doubt that the Dreamliner is an impressive aircraft, and a great addition for fleets around the world, the aircraft has not been without major problems over the last 5 years, which has seen deliveries and production be halted multiple times, which has caused some concern for the long term vision of the aircraft for airlines around the world.

The decision to increase the number of Dreamliners is constant for how the Austrian long haul fleet has looked and operated over the years, however with the Airbus A350-1000 seemingly looking a stronger option than the 787-9 and 787-10 Dreamliner over the last 5 years, perhaps we might see the Lufthansa group also elect to deploy some A350’s into Austrians fleet which is heavily dominated by Airbus aircraft in it’s short to mid-range operations.

The Lufthansa Group currently has 20 Airbus A350-900 and 20 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners on order, with the 777-9 also in the order books, however, the aircraft is still yet to begin flight testing and has been plagued with issues since it conducted its first flight, something which again for Boeing saw them lose some orders as carriers moved to the A350 as a solution.

Emirates Flagship A380 Touches Down In Morrocco

by Tomos Shah-Howells April 16, 2023

written by Tomos Shah-Howells

UAE National Flag carrier emirates have deployed its flagship aircraft the Airbus A380 onto its Morrocco service this weekend with the first flight touching down on Saturday, April 15.

Emirates Focuses on Demand Increase

The airline elected to make the decision to deploy the A380 as it continues to see a strong rise in demand for travel continues to increase between Dubai and Casablanca. The aircraft has reached the Beoing 777-300ER which was operating the daily service and will for now the sole aircraft operating this route.

The aircraft was received by Khalfan Al Salami, Country Manager, Morocco, along with a host of dignitaries including Alasri Al Dhaheri, the UAE ambassador of Morocco, Omar Abdulrahman Al Tunaiji, UAE Consul General of Morocco, Alarby Bin Ebrahim, Public relations Manager, and Abdalhaq Mazrour, Airport Director, Morocco.

Flights will keep the same departure and arrival slots with EK 751 departing Dubai at 07:30 am (local time) and landing in Casablanca at 11:55 am (local time). It then departs for Dubai as EK 752 at 14:55 pm (local time), arriving at 01:15 am (local time) the next day.

[monsterinsights_popular_posts_inline]

The carrier has been flying to Morocco for 21 years, with the return of the A380 underlining its long-standing commitment to serving the country.

Casablanca remains one of the most popular leisure destinations served by Emirates, and the carrier says with its A380 introduction, it will be able to offer increased seating and seamless connectivity to travellers to more than 140 global destinations from its Dubai hub.

A380 Resurgence Continues

What is equally more impressive is how the demand for the superjumbo, the A380 continues to climb again as traffic levels start to approach pre-covid heights.

COVID-19 was earmarked to be the end of the aircraft, with rising costs and cheaper alternatives being mass-produced by the likes of Boeing and Airbus, but with the delays and lengthy backlogs of orders and deliveries in place, the A380 has once again found itself front and centre at the heart of air travel for hub to hub carriers.

It hasn’t been all smooth flying, however, as Emirates continues to battle the issues with wing-spare fractures found in its parked-up A380s.

The carrier has been working directly with Airbus at both its maintenance facilities in Dubai and at the old home of the A380, Toulouse, France as the move to get the aircraft inspected, repaired and back into service continues to match the rise in demand.

Deposit these issues, Emirates continues to see the fast and smooth redeployment of the A380 on its network and establishes itself once again as the largest A380-type operator in the world.

Ranking the Best Special and Original Liveries Around The World

by Tomos Shah-Howells April 16, 2023

written by Tomos Shah-Howells

Throughout the history of aviation airlines around the world have always delivered bold and unique liveries and designs on their aircraft. While these days we tend to globally see the “euro white” look as its sometimes dubbed, we have been treated to some incredible designs over the years.

In this article, we will be taking a dive back into history as we take a look at some of the most iconic brands and special liveries from around the world as we give our take on what the most iconic design was and how the others rank compared.

10) Southwest Airlines

While this livery isn’t the most exciting on our list is certainly iconic and has a design and look known around the world. It is not only one of the oldest airlines in the world but it is often regarded as one of the original founders of the LCC (Low-cost carriers) model that is used so regularly today.

09) Qantas’ aboriginal Livery

This is maybe more of a personal choice to be ranked so highly compared to others around the world, but for us, the aboriginal livery is an incredible artistic design. It is truly unique in its design and looks and a worthy contender for the number 9 spot on our list.

08) KLM Retro Livery

This is maybe a bit of an outside choice for some aviators, however, we believe this is one of the most iconic retro liveries to have existed outside of the U.S.

The blue stopped tail and uniquely two-tone design that the aircraft was painted in could certainly turn a few heads at the airport.

While you might feel it doesn’t quite belong in the top 10 globally, we feel the number 8 slot is the perfect place for this unique design.

07) United Airlines Retro and “Friend Ship”

When it comes to United Airlines this felt like an easy decision to place them at number 7 on the list. Over the years the carrier has had some truly iconic livery designs, but for us, these two are the best they did.

It would be impossible to place one livery over the other for United Airlines, so for that reason we have added both in as joint 7th on our list.

06) British Airways’ “World Tails”

These ones aren’t so iconic as they are truly unique. There has never been anything similar done by another airline since, the colourful and special designs were put onto around half of British Airways’ entire fleet, and celebrated the countries to which the carrier served through special designs made by community artists around the world.

It was introduced in 1997 and was visible until almost 2 decades later when British Airways made the decision to fully convert to the “Chattem Dockyard” livery that is so well known around the world today.

05) British Airways “Landor”

Sticking with British Airways as we enter the top 5, we think the “Landor” livery is a worthy owner of this spot.

ReIntroduced onto one of the Airlines’ Boeing 747-400s during their 100-year celebrations, many aviators got to see the UK’s flag carrier return the iconic blue-tailed design to the skies once again, with an even greater number of younger aviators enjoying the design for the first time.

Unfortunately, we would not get to enjoy the iconic design for long, as COVID-19 saw the airline make the decision to finally retire their entire 747 fleet early in favour of returning their A380s and placing a greater long-term focus on using their Dreamliners and A350-1000 aircraft as their new flagships.

04) Delta Air Lines Retro

Moving away as we make out the final rundown on the top four we head stateside, with Delta Air Lines coming in on our list at spot 4 for their retro livery.

By Steve Fitzgerald – Website: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Delta-Air-Lines/Boeing-767-232/1881000/&sid=cbe37e6b5157d913af1af61a3051dabe, GFDL 1.2, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=16622786

This is the most iconic retro look for us with Delta Air Lines, with their later liveries and designs not really coming close to this design.

03) Qatar Airways Retro special

This one for us is perhaps not the most iconic of retro liveries but is the perfect design to bring us into the top 3.

It is one of the most loved special retro liveries brought back onto one of the airline’s 777 aircraft and somehow hits the perfect blend of modern and retro in its design.

02) TWA (Trans World Airlines)

Despite the carrier ceasing operations when it was purchased by American Airlines back on December 1, 2001.

TWA was one of the most iconic names and airlines around at the time. Founded in 1930 it served the US and global market from its hubs are Atlanta, Denver-Stapleton, New York JFK, Pittsburgh, San Juan and St. Louis.

The carrier was such an icon it eventually had the TWA hotel built and opened up in its name at New York JFK, a must-see and stop-off destination for aviation Lovers travelling to or through JFK airport.

01) American Airlines All Metal look

Coming in at our top spot is American Airlines all metal livery. It is considered by many as the most iconic look an airline ever operated.

The carrier would eventually remove it to move back to full body paint jobs as the rising costs of cleaning the aircraft in order to prolong the life of the metal became too expensive.

Despite its rather basic look compared to other liveried on this list, aviators from around the world regard it as one of the best liveries to ever exist.

Airbus-Qatar Airways Dispute Ends Amicably

by Tomos Shah-Howells February 1, 2023

written by Tomos Shah-Howells

LONDON – In one of the biggest disputes, Airbus and Qatar Airways has come to an amicable agreement regarding surface erosion on the Airbus A350 aircraft.

The agreement means both parties will now avoid a court case worth over $2 Billion in what is being earmarked as an unprecedented public rift.

What Was the Dispute Over

Qatar Airways was the launch customer of the Airbus A350 and utilized the aircraft as its backbone through the whole pandemic.

In total, up to 29 Airbus A350 aircraft were grounded over the heat sync issues.

When the reports of the heat sync issues started to be leaked out of the airline back in 2022, no one could have quite imagined that it would end up with Qatar and Airbus battling it out in court, which now it seems will not be the case after both parties have come to an agreement.

It is understood that the two sides had met in court on December 16, 2022, to discuss the next steps, with Airbus previously warning that the trial, which is set to begin in June next year, may have to be postponed after a shortcoming from Qatar Airways discourses was announced.

A Judge had ruled previously, back in May 2022, in favor of an expedited trial, with Airbus stating they had “repeatedly warned” about the case not being on track, adding that an adjournment would be “inevitable” if the court did not move to agree on the motion submitted by Airbus to “give off quantum” which would which the main part of the case focused on addressing quantity of damages.

Tempours were high during the initial phases of the legal despite Airbus even taking the action to cancel the outstanding order that Qatar had placed, something which a court later ruled against Airbus on, forcing them to keep the order agreement in place.

The question now is, did Qatar have the evidence and information it needed to take the battle to the courtroom and win?

The court case was initially launched to understand what had caused the paint to crack and break off on the A350 jets,

Strange Ending

Looking back over reports in December of last year, it is hard to believe anyone would have suggested that this case would end in the “amicable” form that it did, with Airbus saying: “Both parties can now continue to move forward as partners”

It was also pointed out by Airbus in their announcement, however, that just because an agreement had been reached, it did not mean any admission of fault for either party.

There was much dispute and discussion about the changes Airbus made to the A350 during the legal battle, with Reuters publishing an article outlaying design changes being made by Airbus.

Both companies have been fighting in court for months over the safety impact of flaking paint that exposed corrosion or gaps in a sub-layer of metallic lightning protection.

The main focus of the case was a sandwich of copper foil between the carbon fuselage and outer paint on A350 jets, designed to allow lightning strikes to wash away safely off the carbon-built frame.

During the entire despite, there were never any other reports for other carriers of the intense levels of paint cracking being shown on the A350; however, this doesn’t seem to matter anymore, with both parties now clearly wanting to move forward and focus on the future.

Air New Zealand Moves To Get Stranded Passengers Home

by Tomos Shah-Howells February 1, 2023

written by Tomos Shah-Howells

LONDON – Following torrential flooding just 5 days ago in Auckland, the national carrier Air New Zealand is now working overtime to return an estimated 9,000 stranded passengers back home, after hundreds of flights were cancelled.

Singapore Airlines Deploy A380 To Assist

On January 27, unseasonably large amounts of rainfall caused major flooding across Auckland, with flash floods bringing chaos for the travel sector, with roads being blocked and even Auckland International Airport being forced to close, as terminal buildings were flooded.

In an article published by the nzherald, it is stated that around 9,000 passengers are believed to be in need of new flights to bring them home, with this just accounting for Air New Zealand’s passengers.

The news outlet goes on to report that Singapore Airlines worked closely alongside Air New Zealand, agreeing under the request of the airline to upgrade the SQ285 flight from its regular Boeing 777 service, to an A380.

Flight tracking information for SQ285 shows the deployment of the A380 provided by Radarbox.com

It is understood that the A380 allowed for an additional 200 passengers to be brought back to Auckland on the service. However, the airline did stress to passengers that they should expect delays still with baggage as some systems have still not fully recovered from last week’s flooding.

Lots Of Work Ahead

Air New Zealand’s chief of customer and sales, Leanne Geraghty, speaking to the nzherald, said: “We also know there will be some customers whose rebooked flight is further out than they would have hoped.”

“Our next phase of recovery is to work through our schedule and see how we can get them home on earlier services, where possible,”

“We’re pulling all available levers to get customers on services as soon as possible. This includes working with alliance partners for them to use larger aircraft where possible and reworking our schedule to see where extra capacity can be added.”

There have been reports by multiple outlets that suggest the airline is also working to rebook its passengers stuck in Fiji and Japan, with an estimated 1200 passengers in need of a reparation flight back home.

Air New Zealand confirmed that it would also be waiving all rebooking fees for passengers whose flights were affected by the floods between the 27 and 30 January, as long as they book their new flights before February 28.

With forecasts for thunderstorms and more heavy rainfall on Thursday and Friday this week, it is likely that both the airport and all airlines will be looking closely at the best plan of action to ensure there is no more major disruption due to the weather.
