Blue Air to the rescue with their non-Max 737s - you may not see it in your bookings yet, but that’s what one of LOT’s managers posted on a Polish aviation forum.
Probably I’d expect some more type reshuffling with 738s, 734s, Embraers etc.

Don’t forget Regional Jet. They’ve got spare aircraft because of the schedule reduction in Tallinn so I would hope LOT use this to help them out too, as it’s essentially free leasing. I know it’s CRJ’s but if aircraft are displaced elsewhere then it’s what they should be doing.

So Basia was the last European airline to declare a grounding. Just as I expected and totally avoidable; keeping up the rear once more. A missed opportunity of grabbing the headlines to show how they put pax safety first and allowing the other carriers to follow their lead.
Has the ULC come out and banned them from their airspace as well?

TLV pax flew in on an Israir Airbus, 800s were sent to TUN and ESB. One max from VNO is already ferried to PRG.

Of course but heard some of the passengers being interviewed which was interesting. I think it might have even be an equipment change as there are non-Max aircraft still in TK’s fleet.
