[Travel] Boeing 737 aka Max 8

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

I’m flying Tui on Wednesday. But I can’t find out if it’s a 737 max8 or not. Also 60mph winds forecast ffs.

Seems that Tui have theirs based at Manchester Airport....

Breathe easy, Trump has tweeted on how "airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly".

Stable genius.

I'm sure the Boeing corporation are grateful for that contribution from the President of the United States.

There are currently 3 flights with Max 8s heading to the UK that aren't yet in UK airspace. It seems they are not being allowed to finish their flights. Seems a bit much, especially as the problems on the flights that crashed both happened soon after take off.

Norwegian has just announced the grounding of its MAX fleet. As an occasional passenger on Norwegian I just received from them the email below.


Norwegian

Norwegian temporarily suspends flights with the Boeing 737 MAX, following recommendations by European aviation authorities

Norwegian - Mar 12, 2019 13:50 GMT

Following the decision by the relevant aviation regulatory bodies to temporarily suspend operations of Boeing 737 MAX, Norwegian will not operate any flights with this aircraft type until further notice. We remain in close dialogue with the aviation authorities and Boeing, and follow their instructions and recommendations.

Norwegian has more than 110 Boeing 737–800 aircraft in its fleet, which is not affected by this temporary suspension.

We would like to apologise to customers who will be affected by temporary cancellations and delays, but the safety and security of our customers and colleagues will never be compromised, and once authorities advise to cease operations we will of course comply.

Tomas Hesthammer, Norwegian’s acting Chief Operating Officer said: “In response to the temporary suspension of Being 737 MAX operations by multiple aviation authorities we have taken the decision to not operate flights using this aircraft type until advised otherwise by the relevant aviation authorities. We would like to apologise to customers for any inconvenience caused, however, safety will always remain our top priority.”

Yes. Just imagine how he'd chuckle wryly to himself as it plummets towards earth, saying, "Oh well - would you bloody believe it!"

Probably just a major change in timings/days of operation until they find alternative aircraft.

Ryanair have got them on order, but don't have any yet.

I am only concerned with BA as brother uses them as he works for them and is on holiday in the Philippines and Easy Jet as I use them to go to Spain .
