J.O. Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Based on the behaviours of most governments these days, that is hardly a uniquely Canadian story. Not making excuses, but it seems we are getting the leadership we deserve as a species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest1 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Quote Air Canada Hopes For Connecting Traffic As It Anticipates Government Aid byChris Loh February 14, 2021 Strict government travel restrictions have been a huge burden and revenue-killer for Canadian airlines, including Air Canada. The carrier has done several things to position itself for success in 2021, including the full and permanent conversion of some of its retired 767s into freighters. On the passenger operations side, however, the airline needs to rely more on connecting traffic as Canadians are forced to stay at home, and outside traffic is all but barred. Here’s what the airline had to say about the importance of these connecting flights on its road to recovery.

Guest1 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 1 hour ago, AIP said: Great look. When do the winglets get installed ?? Is that always done after paint ?? This was posted when a Delta A220 was seen with no winglets, Quote As we at The Points Guy were admiring the fresh coat, Managing Editor Alberto Riva noticed something… odd. Something about the wings. Something about the overall physique. If you look carefully, you’ll notice that the A220-100 shown is missing its winglets — a small, but vital, part of the aircraft. Winglets exist to reduce turbulence and drag and were clearly there during earlier non-branded demonstrations of the A220. There’s good news, though: The winglets on the A220 haven’t been forgotten. With final assembly to come after its time in the paint shop, Delta confirmed to TPG that the aircraft’s winglets are being painted separately. This doesn’t always happen — some birds are painted with winglets already installed. For the A220 in this particular paint shop, however, the fit was on the snug side. Because of that, precautions were taken to prevent any accidental dings, and the winglets will be painted and installed during the final assembly process. Oh, and if you’re curious, we also learned that the winglets are the only major A220 component painted separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
