    Air India B787 crash Ahmedabad

    Pretty low act IMHO, hopefully most ignore it: Air India has offered additional compensation to families of victims from the June 2025 Boeing 787-8 crash, asking them to waive future legal rights in return. The London bound flight crashed shortly after departing Ahmedabad, killing 241 people...

    How can AFF contribute towards relaxation of bilateral agreements between Australia and other countries?

    No change required, plenty of spare capacity of the country’s/SARs mentioned if they want it. In the case of HKG there is plenty of alternatives in the pearl river delta anyway, Shenzhen is under utilised while CAN has many options. Let’s not forget not all airports are capped, so bring on 10x...

    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    You have an unrealistic expectation of how busy they will be, and who would take a bus from the eastern suburbs FFS, easier to go to Syd.

    The Flightradar24 appreciation thread

    Cannot see it on FR24 but can on tar1090. By the looks of it we have another MRTT headed overseas, this one I suspect will be supporting some F35 aircraft coming back from Red Flag @ Nellis. Interestingly not flying under the usual Aussie call sign...

    Virgin CNS-MEL redeye

    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    Had my first A220 flight today, overall could not really say it was much different to a 737 experience. Cabin crew seemed green, we were delayed 20 minutes due to a “catering issue” , after takeoff crew came round almost an hour into our flight to serve a beef and mushroom pie that had uncooked...
