Granite Pireci 5 January 2023 15:05

Air Serbia will fly to Larnaca more frequently starting next summer. The airline's planes currently land in the port city on the south coast of Cyprus seven times a week. From May 30, 2023, flights will be increased to two daily rotations. All flights will be operated with an Airbus A320, as the online portal Ex-Yu-Aviation reports. Air Serbia is competing directly with Wizz Air on this route, which is planning four weekly flights between the two cities this summer with an A321 jet - last year the low-cost carrier served Larnaca twice a week. This means that Larnaca will be served with 18 weekly flights from Belgrade Airport during the summer months.

Ryanair expects more profit

Granite Pireci 5 January 2023 14:04

Europe's largest low-cost airline Ryanair is expecting a higher annual profit than before after a surprisingly good third quarter. After taxes and adjusted for special effects, the company announced that it would now be making a profit of 1,325 to 1,425 billion euros. Ryanair had previously expected a profit of 1,00 to 1,20 billion euros. This is assuming that there are no unforeseeable negative events. The company continues to expect 168 million passengers for the financial year ending in March. A profit of just under 200 million euros is likely to have been made in the third quarter, it said. For the first time in three years, customers have been found to have had a strong pent-up demand during the holiday season. In addition, there were no adverse effects from Corona or the war in Ukraine. Due to calendar effects and the recent slowdown in Great Britain and Ireland, Ryanair is expecting a loss in the fourth quarter.

FedEx Express before MD-10-30F phase-out

Amely Mizzi 5 January 2023 13:19

The end of an era is looming at the airline FedEx Express: The cargo carrier plans to decommission the last remaining McDonnell Douglas MD-10-30F aircraft by the end of the current fiscal year. The three-jet aircraft have not yet taken off this year. The model is a modernized version of the McDonnell Douglas DC-10, but is only operated by very few operators. FedEx Express is currently one of these, and officially has seven aircraft. However, these are parked in Victorville, Indianapolis and Memphis. The carrier's annual report shows that it plans to have all MD-10 aircraft decommissioned by the end of the 2023 fiscal year, which ends on May 31, 2023. Among other things, it says: "To reduce the cost of fuel consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions, we have introduced efficiency improvements in flight operations through our global FedEx Fuel Sense program and are replacing many of our older aircraft with more fuel-efficient models." FedEx Express has not yet made an official statement on the retirement of the McDonnell Douglas MD-10-30-F.
