It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for me to wander out of the world of lockdown to forage for supplies and take a photo – as well as assemble this week’s writings.
Yes, it’s Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond
Looking down Corporation Street, in Central Birmingham as an empty Midland Metro trundles towards the Library.
This week has been more than a little quiet for me – I’ve been tied up on some refresh projects. And calls. Oh, my deity…. all the conference calls. But enough about my week. Here’s what I covered on the blog when I had more than 10 minutes to myself.
Passenger Experience
- JetBlue tease their “Mint Studio” seat – A challenger for travel across the Atlantic emerges – could they have the answer for premium narrow-body passenger experience?
New Aircraft News
- Ryanair updates it Boeing 737 MAX plans – 24 aircraft due this year
Routes and Networks
- Emirates to restart flights FROM the UK – You’ll be able to escape the UK with Emirates. Good luck getting back
- Swiss cuts services to bone out of Geneva – And Zurich gets a haircut too
- Wizz Air to launch a new base at Sarajevo – Nine new routes, one aircraft to be based at Sarajevo
Not covered
- Ryanair gets a slapped hand for “Jab and Go adverts – Well. That wasn’t unexpected
- Emirates could swap a number of its 777X orders for 787s – If it turns out the case, this isn’t the new Boeing wants for their largest upcoming aircraft.
- Details emerge about the UK Hotel Quarantine plan – Considering it’s been pushed back until the 15th February, I’ve chosen not to write about this until everything is finalised. But it stinks of a hot governmental mess.
Pretty pictures
Next week
I’m still mostly out of the office, as I have another building to convert into something modern. However, when the evening comes, I’ll be able to spend a bit of time going through the madness that is the aviation world in pandemic times.
Until then – stay safe and wear a mask, please!
