Archive Route Development & Rumours

[laviation]

Honestly, if Qantas suddenly terminated their Emirates partnership, a SYD-SIN-MAN wouldn't be the craziest, out-of-reach routing. However they probably won't terminate such an agreement.

Qantas have recently received approval from the Australian authorities to extend their agreement with Emirates. It now runs until 2028.

Qantas are focusing on non-stop longhaul routes now. The PER-LHR is doing very well, and they will introduce SYD-LHR and MEL-CDG in the next couple of years. They're just waiting for the A350's to arrive. They're considering other non-stop routes in the longer term, such as Athens and New York. I don't think we'll see them at Manchester ever again.

Thank you for that. Do we assume there are no slots for Air India or has that information not come through yet, one way or the other?

lavation has said info is trickling through so I guess we will have to wait

Not showing currently however I believe the same slots are held as were in Winter - 4 weekly BOM.

This one may be of interest though:

Amritsar - Spicejet

No indication as to if/where the stopover is;

11:05 Thu/Fri SG5085

Expected to use wet leased A340s from Legend Aviation of Romania if this launches.

-

Cairo with EgyptAir is now showing 6 weekly. Was launched at 5 in JUL23, and has recently seen a permanent upgauge from 738 to A21N. A nice top-up.

And as soon as I can't edit the original message, I'm told the info for Air India by the reliable SPD.

DAILY Mumbai with B787-8. 18:10a/1940d.

This would be quite the ambitious start - let's hope they finally launch.

 

[EGCC_MAN]

The stopover point proposed for Spicejet is Timisoara, Romania.

This makes sense too, as Legend Aviation (operator of the 2 leased A340's), is a Romanian company.

So looks like the s24 is out on ACL except can't seem to access the report without signing in. But when signing in still unable to view the reports

Yes IT issues have plauged ACL - thats why the reports are initially delayed. Being fixed as we speak I believe.
