Loads are very poor but not a suprise given the sudden announcement. It might pick up over the summer. What I understand is that Cathay are doing well from a revenue perspective, with good loads in business too, and Hainan getting soft uptake in business class... |
EY had 787-10 in this morning... good sign, though demand probably higher due Easter.

Shenzen is a response to Cathay's Hong Kong increase in frequency. Shenzen is close enough to Hong Kong.

Can anyone explain why? Arrived at Dublin on EI from LHR, parked out near T2. All get off the plane, walk on foot into the (totally empty) terminal, directed left to wards the east end, exit outside again and board a bus which then takes forever to drive right round the airport and drop us off next to the US immigration area - about 300 m from our aircraft.... I mean - why not a bus direct from the plane to the gate???
last time I saw something like that was at Dubai |

Pretty Third World (or Aberdeen) IMHO - this is the 21st Century - buses should be an emergency measure only. The SLF , as usual, come way down the line cp "financial considerations"

I see ET have secured 5th freedom rights on DUB-MAD. Could be worth doing if the price is right vs IB, EI & FR. A modern widebody with complimentary meals etc. |
Qatar to increase to 11x weekly from 1st of July next summer, all operated by B787-8.
|
LH schedule A340-300 on Wednesdays 3rd July-23rd October on the 12.10 to FRA. |
I have read elsewhere that PEK-DUB/EDI HU service looks like it is for the chop - last flight from PEK 31st August.
|
Reported on Edinburgh thread that Hainan Beijing service is back on sale.
|
UA EWR
See that UA's EWR service is 787-10 from Thursday. Looking forward to flying on it later this year.

The aircraft may be nice, but you'll still be flying with United...
