Nice to see the A380 coming out of their mothball state. (www.bloomberg.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I saw two A340 land at LAX yesterday. Haven’t seen them in years.
Due to travel YVR-LHR in July, and much as I love the A380, it’s a disaster on this route at present. Not sure why, tech issues? Turnaround issues? BA incompetence? June record: on time NIL. Late 30 min to 6 hours median 2 hours. Likely I will miss both the 3 and 9 pm flight on to Dublin.
Response from BA the computer says it’s still operating to schedule.

That's airports, not planes. Cluster fuck in scheduling personnel. Who would have thought after 2 years of people not flying as much, summer approaching and no more covid restrictions that we would have an increase in demand? Right ? Even a 5 year old could have predicted it. idiots.
The current 'not on time; flights in Europe have everything to do with the miserable failing of the Airports' management not preparing for the expected increase in demand of air travel, i.e. not having enough security and baggage handling staff available, resulting in hundreds of daily flight cancellations at every large airport.
In the UK, not enough staff is partly because of .... Brexit. Can't hire EU individuals, they have to turn down 30-40% of applicants.
That's the excuse. Same in Amsterdam. They claim they can't hire enough people. In reality it's bad planning. Anyone could have seen this coming.
