    First B787-9 for Saudia. HZ-ARA flew the first flight on the 6-Jan-16.



    If i am not mistaken Saudia ordered 4 of the B787-9. According to sources, the first SV B787 to fly on RUH-IST and JED/RUH-CAS routes from S16.

    I flew A359 from Doha to Philadelphia
    Cabin ambiance was good...
    washrooms were good
    Seats were bit uncomfortable
    Overhead bins were excellent
    Good size tinted windows

    Not bad for a 14 hour flight

    Singapore Airlines expects commercial Airbus A350 flights to begin in March or April following delays to delivery of the first aircraft, which was previously expected this month.
    Cathay Pacific will begin flying the advanced Airbus A350 to Auckland in the second half of this year, although Australia is unlikely to see the fuel-efficient jetliner until 2017.
    I think first A350 destination for CX is Gatwick and second is Auckland. Am i right umedha?

    I always feel more comfortable in a wide chord wing aircraft than a narrow chord wing . And in turbulence I'm always happy if im in a boeing than an airbus

    Well I've been hoping for aircraft swap since Bangkok and Shanghai flights actually depart and arrive in Helsinki around the same time, but anyway...

    Finnair operates 2 daily flights to Bangkok in winter and one daily in summer. This flight AY89/90 arrives in BKK at 7am and departs at 9am, while the other, AY95/96 arrives at 9am and departs at 11am.
    Finnair took delivery of third A350 (MSN20/OH-LWC) on the 31-Dec. It has been flying AY89/90 to BKK.

    Yeah, 787 had many critical issues with its battery right ?
