New Aircraft deliveries
- TAP Air Portugal takes delivery of its first A330neo – Another entry into The Matrix with a new breed of NEO
- China Eastern take delivery of their first A350… and is the paintwork remotely exciting and different? … I’ll give you a hint. It’s mostly white.
Routes and Networks
Miles and Points

- Long Way Home – To Chicago with American Airlines and Finnair
