The most expensive aircraft in the world for an airline to operate is one that is parked on the ground not flying passengers around...

Bucksboy Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Ryanair are flying their planes every 5-7 days, just a short hop up and down to keep it airworthy. If it stays on the ground for longer it’s needs a service before being allowed back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 It is not just the aircraft that have to be kept airworthy. The crew need to stay in recency, they have to fly at least once every 28 days to stay legal. If not they have to receive some simulator training before flying again. BA have stopped all simulator training for obvious reasons as it is incompatible with social distancing. The pilot's six monthly sim checks will also expire, these consist of two, four hour details to revalidate their licences. Hence, when the situation normalises it is going to take a long time to get the airlines operating normally again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Fairgrieve Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Sadly, with Covid-19 continuing to disrupt global travel, we must inform you that your holiday will not be going ahead as planned. Just had that from my holiday provider. No Malta for us next month! Now let the fight for a refund commence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Fairgrieve Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Should all be good Ken. I quote from the email. "As a package holiday customer, it is important to know that you are entitled to a full refund and if this is what you request, then we will issue this with no dependency on whether we have received the money back from suppliers. " So they take the hit and fight with Ryan Air. Will be booking to go back as soon as is humanly possible. Post Covid-19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing booked or planned as yet Ken, but Malta will be the first place we go back to. Pretty normal for both of us during lockdown, Carolyn works in a pharmacy so has been in since day1, I was furloughed for a time but back to normal now. Stay safe.

Way back in 2018 that was Ken. I thought she had been moved a long while ago. We are off there in a couple of weeks, first time away since the Covid struck. First time on a plane since February 2020. Looking forward to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn K Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I am off to Malta for the first time in early May. 4 days in Malta, the rest on a short Med cruise for my wife's 70th birthday pressie. Quite looking forward to the Malta bit. I would pass on the cruise if I could although most days we are on dry land so that is some form of redemption. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went back last September. A lot, and I mean a lot has changed. So much so that we are not returning this year. Our regular Hotel has not changed, but many of the restaurants and bars have not come through you know what well. There was a couple we really enjoyed in Valletta, but they appear to have changed hands and the ambiance was not good. Where are you staying this time @ken anderson.? So this year we are doing our other favourite holiday. Another cruise. We shall be in Monaco for the wife`s 60th birthday. I have told her that if I save really really hard I may be able to buy her a cup of tea whilst we are there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lee Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I was on a walking holiday in Malta & Gozo last week, got back yesterday evening. 5 years since I was last there and indeed things have moved on and Malta seemed busier than ever. While the weather was good all week on my spare day it was very windy and there was no activity on the flying site when I looked in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
