Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond (26th August)

26/08/2023 by Kevincm

We’re into the last major bank holiday of the year in England; Whilst dodging the odd shower, the sun is out, and it’s time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.

a group of people outside a building
It’s a Birmingham Weekender. Allegedly. 

The Business of Aviation

  • The Return of Monarch Airlines? – I have thoughts. A visible solid business plan could be the first thing I need to see. Trading on a name is never a good idea.

Routes and Networks

  • Qatar Airways confirms their third daily flight to New York-JFK – Qatar loves New York it seems
  • easyJet to launch services to Cairo, Egypt – But check the airport
  • Porter Airlines prepares to spread its Embraer E2 fleet to Florida – Thin and Long comes to mind

Passenger Experience

  • British Airways celebrates 75 years of connecting the UK and Japan together – First and Club Suite on the way
  • British Airways adds Martinis …  -and lounge improvements – Shaken. Not Stired. And that’s just the furniture on the way.

Fleet News

  • Qantas continues its fleet renewal, with A350 and 787 Orders – Including signs and omens for the Airbus A380 fleet
  • Air New Zealand to add four extra aircraft to its fleet – Short-haul extras for Air New Zealand

Pretty Pictures

  • Delta Air Lines Airbus A350-900 taking off from Dublin Airport
Next WeekAs we begin to exit the summer holiday season – and with conference season restarting, and trade shows warming up amongst other things, there’s going be a little more traction in the market – especially as the last-minute additions to the winter season start to appear

We’ll be keeping an eye on the market. We’ll also get the Ryanair trip report on the road next week – or once I make a collage and file some graphics in the appropriate areas.

Until then, stay safe and happy landings.
