Friday Aviation News

  • 787 first flight (see separate post)
  • East Coast Snowstorm. Delays. Lots. Cancellations. Lots.
  • Frontier to start 4x weekly Denver to Fairbanks nonstop service!
  • OpenSkies (Premier airline part of British Airways flying ORY [Paris Orly Airport] to JFK [New York John F Kennedy Airport]) switches flights from ORY-JFK to ORY-EWR (Newark, New Jersey). Effective January 4th.
  • Beginning of Continental Airline's HNL (Honolulu, Hawaii) to NAN (Nadi, Fiji) service. 2x a week
  • Southwest makes numerous changes: http://blogsouthwest.com/files/May%202010%20Flight%20Changes%20effective%20May%209.pdfMajor addition is Panama City, Florida with service to Houston Hobby, Nashville, Orlando and Baltimore.
  • US Airways inaugural CLT (Charlotte, North Carolina) to HNL (Honolulu, Hawaii) flights begin, however with a fuel stop on the first day. The fuel stop is not regular, but could end up being common as the 767-200ER (762)'s abilities can be strained under the combination of the 4,678 mile flight plus heavy Pacific winds.
  • Singapore Airlines to start SIN (Singapore) to MUN (Munich) [continuing onto MAN (Manchester, UK)]. Rumors flying about SIN to BCN (Barcelona) to GRU (Sao Paulo, Brazil).
That's all for now. Thanks for reading!
