While I totally agree it won't compete with the 737/320/170 series, I feel like mentioning an old A320 demo flight ended in a fiery crash back in 88' too...
Cancelled. They are receiving 10 A330-300s this & next year (three flying already, two out on lease, two more due into the fleet by years end). Next plan is the 787 expected in 2015-16.
You mean like Delta did recently? They bought one in Philly iirc, for $109 mil: they said they expect to save 400 mil in fuel costs as a result. Time will tell!
The "boeing 720" was essentially a niche market "shrink" model of the 707-120. It was designed to be lighter (shorter take-offs & landings) at all costs; among bits chucked was the APU. I'm 99% sure the "Pinocchio" nose is a mod, and only done on one owners aircraft. I can't say the reason for sure, but I'd wager its a combo of extra take-off power and/or the apu thing. Pulling that out of my arse really; just a guess!
Hah this past year I watched a 747 on the adjacent gate stop mid-push back because one of the passengers passport was found at the boarding gate. You could see someone up at the terminal windows with a radio flailing his arms about lol! They halted and passed the passport up to the FO through the avionics bay, rather than inuring the fine for bringing a passenger into the destination country without a valid passport...
Yeah I've been seeing really long/short flights LHR/BOS/LHR too. Had a 5.18 BOS-LHR the other day which is REALLY short. On the other hand, like Daniel said, the inbound for that was over 8 hours! If i recall the flight plans winds aloft were up to 160kts.
I don't see this as a negative thing. Pretty good when airlines really do all they can to take care of passengers. I've seen it happen in Boston a few times on a few carriers; had a problem locally so they had one of the new-york flights drop by to pick up the passengers.
