I found this https://www.opshots.net/2015/04/airc...ting-expenses/ and while I don’t know how credible of a source it is (and it's too old to say anything about A350), if those figures are anything to go by, then I can very well understand why Finnair doesn’t operate an A380 even if they could fill it easily and with good ticket prices. A rough estimate is, an A380 equals 3.5 A330s…

HiFly is minting money right now as 787 go into engine refits and airlines are scrambling to run the published schedule.

Does anyone know what AY does with crew in destinations that are operated only once a week? PVR or SGN for example. Does the crew stay a week at the destination, or will they move to another destination and return sooner?

I wonder if PVR, POP and MIA form a similar combo. Would make sense.

For those who has family, not so popular but like one air hostess told it's good for youngsters who like "create relationships".

AY cancels several flights on Tue 8 Jan due to expected snowfall

DUE TO WEATHER SOME FLIGHTS WILL BE CANCELLED TOMORROW 08 JAN 2019

07 JAN 2019
Due to expected heavy snow fall in Helsinki, some flights will be cancelled tomorrow. Customers who are affected on these cancellations have been contacted and offered an alternative option. We do our best to minimize the effects to our customers.

'Being from the North, we can handle any type of weather'. This is such an idiotic claim; overpromising and underdelivering is generally not a good recipe for customer satisfaction.
