Whats the ongoing work at Concourse C? Looks like they are changing/upgrading some of the jetways (to accommodate A380s?). Also looks like there is some work inside the terminal not related to the new duty free section where concourses B and C meet.

Not until DAS in November. Guess we have wait for a while. They will decides to choose the aircraft. If they picks 787-9 or 787-10 Dreamliner or A350.

The big boss touring Airbus's plant.

Most likely big negotiations taking place behind closed doors before the DAS.

Wouldn't those negotiations take place in Toulouse instead?

Negotiations can take place in a pool bar over a refreshing fruitation drink as far as both parties are concerned.

On a more serious not the ruler has a lovely residence in Monaco, which isnt far from Toulouse. Hamburg must of presented some interesting interior fitting options, plus who knows some behind the scenes negotiations with Merkel before her elections.

20 additional A380's, and a 350 order is big business today with a decline in wide body sales as of late.

I figure this is not off topic any more since they have merged with EK.

FlyDubai 40 million loss so far for the first six months.

Not that this could ever match the mess that is EY/Alitalia, let's hope things even out.

I'm wondering what schedule matching has taken place so far. I've not been affected by any time changes yet.
