Vienna: Blaguss continues to pause the airport bus - Postbus runs on the back burner

Jan Gruber June 23, 2021 19:15

Not only the City Airport Train, but also the Airliner bus operated by Blaguss Reisen between Vienna Airport and the Erdberg subway station has been on hiatus since the beginning of the Corona pandemic. A rapid resumption of operations by Blaguss is not imminent. A spokeswoman for the bus and tourism group told Aviation Direct that the Airliner bus between Vienna Erdberg and Vienna Airport will remain "not in operation until further notice" due to the Corona crisis. As soon as the situation allows for long-term planning, information will be provided on the further development of this bus line. Competitor Österreichische Postbus AG is behind the Vienna Airport Lines. Here, too, operations have been repeatedly suspended due to low demand. The VAL1 (Airport-Main Station-West Station) lines will run hourly from 21:2021 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from June 20, 30. The VAL3 (Donauzentrum) route has been in operation for some time, but currently only six coaches are offered per direction per day. The line between the airport and Schwedenplatz/Morzinplatz (VAL 2) remains suspended. According to Postbus AG, there is no specific date for the resumption of service for this route.

Amely Mizzi June 23, 2021 18:36

The Spanish airline Alba Star will start a non-stop connection between Friedrichshafen and Palma de Mallorca on July 29, 2021. The airport has thus managed to close the gap left by Ryanair due to the discontinuation of the former Lauda route. Ryanair's sudden withdrawal from the route came as a surprise to management after intensive negotiations. However, we are still in contact for future developments, said Friedrichshafen Airport in a media statement. In cooperation with Carrier Consult from Hanover, the Spanish airline Alba Star was won over for this route. Bookings can be made through travel agencies in connection with the tour operators offering the service, through online travel agencies and through the Friedrichshafen Airport booking platform. The first flight will take off on July 29, 2021, in time for the start of the summer holidays. The flights will take place on Thursdays and Sundays. The connections are currently planned until the end of the summer flight season, i.e. until November 6, 2021. "Even under difficult conditions, we have managed to keep the holiday island of Mallorca in our offer as one of the most popular holiday destinations for this region. I am convinced that the attractiveness of the destination, the demand from the region and our efficient airport operations will ensure that flights with Alba Star are carried out successfully," said Friedrichshafen boss Claus-Dieter Wehr.

Due to increasing demand: Delta wants to hire 1000 pilots

Granite Pireci June 23, 2021 17:08

The US airline is planning a large-scale expansion of its workforce. More than 1000 pilots are to be hired by next summer - but only vaccinated ones. The Reuters news agency cites an internal memo that is making the rounds in the company. Delta is looking to the future with confidence. The volume of leisure travel in the USA is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels this month. The company also expects a significant increase in business travel. Therefore, at least 1000 new pilots are needed. But there is a catch. The documents of unvaccinated applicants end up directly in the airline's wastepaper basket. In the future, the airline will require corona vaccinations for new hires in the USA. This decision is necessary in order not to endanger the health of customers and employees. Existing employees, on the other hand, can still freely decide whether they want to be administered the vaccine. So far, more than 60 percent have done so.

Premiere: Sundair uses widebodies for the first time

Jan Gruber June 23, 2021 13:45

The German airline Sundair is currently experiencing a sharp increase in demand on routes from Germany to Beirut. In Berlin, demand is currently so high that the aircraft operated by the carrier itself have become too small. For the first time in the company's history, widebodies are flying under Sundair flight numbers. The first to do so is the Bulgarian airline Gullivair, which will operate the Berlin-Beirut route for the German carrier with the LZ-AWZ (Airbus A330). The Spanish airline Wamos Air will also be flying Airbus A330s on a wet lease for the next four days. Sundair boss Marcos Rossello confirmed in an interview with Aviation Direct that Wamos Air will be using long-haul aircraft from Berlin for the next four days. The booking situation is currently good and in order to meet demand, the decision has been made to use the widebody on a wet lease.

The German holiday airline Tuifly will use a Boeing 2021 Max 737 aircraft in mid-summer 8. It has the registration D-AMAX (MSN: 44601) and has already arrived in Hanover. There, the airline's technicians are getting the new addition ready for its first commercial use. A spokesperson confirmed that the first and, at least for the time being, only Boeing 737 Max 8 has been taken over. This is to be put into commercial scheduled service shortly. There is no exact date for this yet. The company expects this step to be taken in the course of mid-summer. No further units are to be added - at least during the high season. Originally, 25 Boeing 737 Max 8s were intended for the German Tuifly. The sister company in Belgium, among others, has already been using the model for several months. This type of aircraft has also been used selectively from Germany. How many Boeing 737 Max 8s will actually land at Tuifly is still open. In any case, the summer flight schedule will be operated with the reduced fleet of 22 aircraft. With the exception of a single Max 8, the rest of the aircraft are the predecessor model Boeing 737NG.
