Wizz Air об одесском аэропорте: Полоса настолько плохая, что мы меняли колеса каждый день

Before canceling the flights to/ from Odessa, Wizz Air thought of releasing the arriving passengers and their luggage by one cooperative parachute.
Wow, what a brilliant idea for avoiding the questionable condition of the runway! However, they had to discard it as no similar solution for departing passengers. Unfortunately, parachutes function downward only.
Oh boy! It seems that low cost carriers do not like bumpy runways.

Delta’s partnership with Virgin Blue causes pain for United in Australia

It is a knockout for United Airlines to lose the code-sharing agreement with Virgin Blue which they began together in 2002 and expanded it on April 2004.
Without enough economy-class passengers, the operation of United Airlines’ Boeing 747 between Australia and the west coast of USA would be mainly for emitting more carbon dioxide. Considering the attitude of United Airlines toward Dave Carroll, the Airline would be hostile to both its passengers as well as the environment.

Rescuing Air India from crisis requires hard decisions and political support

Writing the above article requires a great deal of boldness. Criticizing Indian affairs by an Indian citizen simply implies credibility.

The shocking facts revealed throughout the article are quite resembling the situation of Aeroflot. Its board of directors said last week (viz. the tweet of Airlinologist on 21 JUN) that the airline is 30% overstaffed which is the result of reasons similar to those which made Air India 50% overstaffed.

It is so sad to see the maharaja airlines falling like that due to the effect of corruption-infested India. Away from the sadness-triggering memories, let us face it. Government-supported airline is not the fashion any more. Comparing the ailing Air India with the privately-owned Kingfisher Airlines would clearly reveal some reasons of both failure of the former and success of the latter.

There is one more comment regarding the statement about the communist countries. It is true that that North Korea and Mongolia are still under communism. However, the situation is different for both China and Russia. China is somehow adopting a communist system under a capitalist flag. On the other hand, Russian Federation has been rigorously moving to the market economy since the collapse of the Soviet Union early 1990s.
