There’s something exciting about very long routes, at least until you’re aboard. It feels like they’re pushing the envelope, even though it’s now fairly commonplace. This winter, there are 72 non-stop routes over 6,000 nautical miles – nearly 11,100 kilometers – from the US. While some may end up being pushed back, the vast majority will operate. Today, let’s examine what’s available.

During a recent Emirates flight from Mumbai to Dubai, the Gulf carrier had just one passenger onboard the 427 seat Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Due to the COVID-19 situation and the development of a more contagious variant, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government placed travel restrictions on people arriving from India.

Most of us take for granted the fact that airplanes just fly when we get on them. We often completely overlook the technicalities involved in achieving flight. And one of the key areas that few of us consider is the amount of fuel that is used by jet aircraft.

At the beginning of March, a Batik Air A320-200 suffered nose gear issues as it took off from Jambi, Indonesia. When the plane landed back nearly half an hour later due to the issue, the nose gear was found to have rotated 90° and ground down. Let’s find out more about this bizarre incident.

The Boeing 747 is, for many, the first aircraft they went long-haul on. It changed aviation significantly, making flying more accessible to more people than ever before. For those airlines that wanted to fly not only a high passenger load but also large amounts of cargo, Boeing created the 747 combi. Here’s what it was all about… Article link: https://simpleflying.com/boeing-747-combi/ Video source links: 747 klm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GZ3fSDFevE 747 KLM Vintage commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtwUxnNYZyE 747 klm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irgpI3PkOf0 747 United https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUbabyFKUvQ 747 British Airways BA Landor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1bhsj5VcEU 747 Historical Boeing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMqRYxI6njs 747 qantas historical commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz2GS5aG4C4 KLM 747 Combi (Pandas) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp0YLN6VhDo Photos: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KLM_Boeing_747-400M_PH-BFS_with_the_cargo_door_open_(5517764296).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:737_400_Combi_being_loaded_(6842543722).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:737-300_Combi_interior_(Quintin_Soloviev).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Air_France_B747-200M_F-GCBB.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:56bo_-_Untitled_Boeing_747-300_(M);_HB-IGC@ZRH;27.05.1999_(5588354794).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Deutsche_Lufthansa_-_Flickr_-_skinnylawyer.jpg Simple Flying: Visit our website where we publish 150-200 news stories per week: https://simpleflying.com/ Listen to our weekly podcast: https://simpleflying.com/podcast/ Download our iOS & Android app: https://simpleflying.com/simple-flying-android-ios-app-download/ Daily email digest sign up: https://simpleflying.com/daily-digest/ Check out our second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUGfeKPhDhWW0EMnqbpdCAQ Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://instagram.com/simpleflyingnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/simple_flying Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/simpleflyingnews Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/33222643 #aviation #flight #avgeek #airlines #flying

With Boeing’s NMA reportedly on hold and the 737 MAX still not cleared to fly, the US planemaker is at something of a crossroads in developing its product line. With demand for the ‘797’ dwindling as potential customers sign up instead for Airbus products, Boeing could be onto a winner if it was to leapfrog the NMA and go straight to the FSA – a 737 replacement.

Read about the aircraft here: https://simpleflying.com/inside-bamboo-airways-787-dreamliner/ Vietnamese startup Bamboo Airways has lost no time in putting its stunning 787-9 Dreamliner to work. Received on the 22nd December, it wrote Bamboo Airways’ name in the history books as the first privately owned airline in Vietnam to operate widebody aircraft. With no time to lose, Bamboo Airways put the aircraft into service on January 2nd, operating domestic routes presumably while the airline familiarizes itself with the type. But what can passengers expect from the new aircraft?

Aircraft are expensive. With the cost of a new A380 coming in at $444 million USD list price, airlines are incredibly reluctant to ever take an aircraft out of service. But, throughout history, airlines have either been forced to write off an aircraft (sometimes even brand new) or in some special cases, spent millions of dollars more than the aircraft is worth to not write it off.

Needing to find a way across Europe I stumbled upon an ultra-low fare from Wizz Air onboard their A320 from regional airport Bristol to Polish southern airport Katowice. Flying from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM, would I be game to try the midnight low-cost-carrier express?
