Air Baltic's A220s have a 32" pitch and 18.5" width with a maximum of 150 passengers. Usually the front couple of rows don't use the middle or aisle seat and they call that "Business" class. It has a 30,000+ payload with full fuel.

Boeing will raise the price a few thousand and install these two things as standard from now on. Seems clear to me that pilot training needs to be improved to move from the 737NG to any MAX version.

Gets back to an old saying among tail-dragger pilots: you fly the plane all the way to the wheel chocks.

Sorry, RwandAir no longer operates 727s, just the standard mix of Airbus/Boeing/Bombardier.

As always, follow the money....especially that finding its way into the pockets of the County Commissioners.

I noted in the attached article that "we expect to have all of our equipment repainted by 2025." Which will be just in time to do another revision....maybe back to yellow.

Part of this is just being from Denver. The airport opened in 1995 as DIA because Stapleton airport, called DEN, had not yet been decommissioned. That happened in 1998 and then ICAO transferred the DEN appellation to the new airport. As far as the A380 is concerned, it might be able to land and just roll to a stop on runway 16L/34R, which is 16,000 feet long.

Fire the dispatcher. This is his/her screw-up.

The Denali is an unabashed clone of the Pilatus 12/47E.
