There are fewer Asian airlines ordered Airbus aircarafts compared to Boeing, and there are fewer Airbuses then Boeings. Some major Asian carriers, like Japan Airlines, use only Boeing and not Airbus. The situation is especially poor for A340. There are no more than 40 A340 in service & 60 ordered in Asia, but there are more than 100 B777 in ...

North American Airlines (www.northamair.com) is a very special airline, providing connection service for El Al passengers between New York JFK and some US cities like Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago. It also operates charter flights to the Caribbean, Mexico, South America, Europe, Africa, the Indian Ocean, Azores, the Middle East. It also flies ...

So why airlines flying only 4-engined aircrafts for intercontinental flights, like Cathay Pacific (except Hong Kong - Australia flights), Virgin Atlantic, Lufthansa, Air Canada (except flights to Europe) are so popular. And I think most Asian airlines especially that of Japan & Korea, and EVA Airlines of Taiwan, as well as USA airlines, are ...

There are more & more airlines changing their domestic service to full economy class, like the setting up of low cost carrier Air Canada's ZIP to replace Air Canada's full service routes in Canada West, together with one ticket transit with Air Canada international routes, which is not found in Tango, Air Canada's another low cost subsidary, ...

Why, tell me why Delta of extremely poor service is still earning money after Sep 11 diaster, while other airlines with much better service like American, United & US Airways are heavily losing? I don't want to see United & US Airways go bankrupt, and don't want to see Delta's monopoly on USA air service?

All Airbus single deck widebodies can trace their history back to A300B2, the 1st production aircraft of Airbus. Airbus planned to develop 3 more widebody aircrafts immediately after the launch of A300B2 in early 1970's, the shorter variant of A300 (which is A310-200), the stretched, longer range twin engined TA9 & quad engined ultra long ...

Airbus A380 is its largest jetliner on offer, with 2 widebody decks along the whole length of the aircraft. It has 10-abreast economy lower deck & 8-abreast economy upper deck, and very curved upper deck design like that of 747 upper deck. Because of its huge size, Airbus has to completely redesign the aircraft, rather than deriving from A340.

Airbus A318 has 2 engine options, CFM56 & PW6000 dedicated for A318. But I think the decision made by Pratt Whitney of making PW6000 just for A318 & not for other aircrafts like B717 is not wise at all. First of all, there would be very few PW6000 produced since A318 is the only aircraft to use PW6000 engine. This in turn rises production
