This will end in tears for someone. Wasnt the return of BA to JFK always a bit shaky anyway? (that and YYZ I wouldnt have been surprised if they had been dropped by now)

TTG is the only one that seems to have made a TYPO at least 4 other news outlets have a variation of the following quote, it is 100% a typo and anyone who thinks otherwise must be crazy

“The new service will add to the partnership’s existing flights to Heathrow and will bring Delta and Virgin Atlantic’s combined offering to up to 18 daily departures to the UK from both Boston and JFK.”

Westjet to Halifax?

Are they going to fly this route through the summer given that the Max is not available?
Had to route via St John on the 737-700 in 2016

Was a Max, now showing a mix of 737-700 and 800. I assume they have the legs for Halifax non-stop? I know St John’s is no issue but that’s a fair bit closer.

Easyjet La Palma

It looks as if Easyjet's route from Gatwick to La Palma in the Canaries (no, not the same as Las Palmas on Gran Canaria) is gone for good following the release of the W19/20 schedule. Fares were never high over the W18/19 period. Norwegian also tried the same route a few years ago but it didn't last particularly long

Anyone have any reason to believe that Easyjet will return to a London-SPC route ?

Any other routes out of Gatwick that Easyjet is dropping for W19/20 ?

Aarhus and Warsaw also dropped after just one season, both didn't perform well. Maybe Wizz will launch Warsaw. Not sure about SPC but i've heard a new winter route to Eliat will be announced.

La Palma is a nice interesting island but not much there - tourism is small - TUI and TCK both have charters there

La Palma was a good bet for cheaper winter sun (given the cheaper flight price), and it is now only a single TUI flight on a Thursday.

China Eastern will use B77W (316 seats) on its flight to PVG starting July. An increase of 20-30% (depending on config used on current A330) including introduction of First Class.

I am trying to clear up an anomaly in my records. I have just noticed I have recorded an LGW~CDG~LGW in March 1991 with the airline code: AE (flight numbers 044/049) should I have put AF - or was there another carrier using that code at the time? Many thanks.

Ah! Thanks Rutan16. Wow they've been gone a long time. I see the IATA code is now Mandarin Airlines. Have you any idea what a/c they operated? Probably a 733?

If you did take those flights then it must have been before 8th - that was the day Air Europe went bust in March 1991!

Hello, I have just recently joined the site and wondered if you would be interested in a few photos from the airport around the 90s era?

Thanks Gordon.
