The Air Charter Association’s Post

A story of success for aviation in Europe

This week, one of our most popular news articles is about Nigeria’s Air Peace, which would like to cooperate with Norse Atlantic Airways to launch flights from Lagos to London Gatwick as they struggle to secure their slots. We thought it would be interesting to compare them to each other in this graph. Norse Atlantic Airways holds 44 weekly slots at London Gatwick for the Summer 2024 season, utilising 32 so far. Air Peace was authorised to operate in the UK in November 2023 but has yet to secure market access. It operates one Boeing B777-200ER and two Boeing B777-300s, as well as a fleet of narrowbody and regional aircraft unable to reach the UK non-stop, including seven Boeing B737-300s, six Boeing B737-500s, one Do328-300, eight Embraer E145s, and five Embraer E195-E2s. It has a firm order for five Embraer E175s, ten Boeing B737-8s, and eight more Embraer E195-E2s. Norse Atlantic Airways didn't respond to ch-aviation's query about leasing or trading its slots to Air Peace. Norse Atlantic Airways's Senior VP (Communications), Philip Allport, said the airlines only had "an initial informal meeting" regarding the potential cooperation. #chaviation #aviationnews #norseatlantic #airpeace #boeing #embraer #gatwick Norse Atlantic Airways Air Peace London Gatwick Boeing Embraer Philip Allport Bjorn Tore Larsen Thom-Arne Norheim Bård Nordhagen Barr Allen Onyema Toyin Olajide

#DidYouKnowFriday Did you know that French was once the official language of England for almost 300 years, from 1066 to 1362? Yes, it's true! After William the Conqueror took over in 1066, French became the language of the ruling class, while regular folks spoke English. But here's another cool thing: France also led the way in aviation! Back in 1909, a Frenchman named Louis Blériot made France's first-ever powered flight. And guess what? They coined some fancy aviation words like "fuselage" and "aileron" that we still use today in English! Fast forward to 1362, and English regained its status as the main language. This happened after some big historical events, like England losing Normandy and getting into a 100-year-long war with France.

Aviation History BRANIFF WHO? Braniff Airways, British Airways & Air France Joint Services Aviation history was made on 12th Jan 1979 as 2 Concordes, belonging to Air France & British Airways, flew in from the east and lined up to land on parallel runways at Dallas DFW. This was the start of a scheduled supersonic service between Dallas DFW & Europe by Braniff in cooperation with Air France and British Airways. Braniff had placed orders for 3 Concordes, which they had to cancel. But they still had ambitions of operating the aircraft - and cooperation with BA & AF seemed the best option. On January 12th 1979, they introduced their first Concorde service between Dallas & Washington DC Dulles airport, and Europe. The flights between Dallas and Washington were operated by Braniff Flight & cabin crews after which British or French crews would take over for the remaining segment. To operate this service, there had to be a temporary change in ownership of the aircraft. As well as changing flight crews the US approved documentation and procedures had to be present on the flight deck, which meant that the UK/French documentation had to be stored in the forward toilet. There also had to be a change in the aircraft registration, while being flown on the US sector. #travel #aviation
