Stockholm: Novair is about to close

Amely Mizzi 3 October 2023 11:00

The Stockholm-based airline Novair is throwing in the towel. The company is currently preparing for voluntary liquidation because no new customers have been found since the former owner - a tour operator - allowed the charter contract to expire. Novair now belongs to the same group of companies as the Danish Jettime. It operates two Airbus A321neo medium-haul jets. The carrier has been on the market for 26 years and previously also had Lockheed L-1011, A330-200 and Boeing 737-800. Before switching to A321neo, it had three Airbus A321ceo. Novair is scheduled to cease operations permanently in October 2023. If it does manage to find a replacement for Apollo's expiring contract, it could still continue. However, it is no longer expecting this and is therefore already preparing for closure.

Estonia: Court of Auditors strongly criticizes Nordica

Amely Mizzi 3 October 2023 10:08

The Audit Office of the Republic of Estonia has been extremely critical of the conduct of the Nordic Aviation Group, which includes Nordica, Xfly and Transpordi Varahaldus. The government is being advised to sell the state-owned group of companies. Nordica was initially launched as a "virtual airline" as a successor to Estonian Air. Due to the lack of an AOC, the company initially cooperated with Adria Airways. Flight operations were later taken over by the group's subsidiary Xfly and a sales cooperation was entered into with Lot, which has since ended. Nordica has had its own AOC for a long time and made headlines in connection with Marabu Airlines. Xfly flies for several carriers as part of ACMI and charter contracts. The Government of Estonia plans to merge Nordica, Xfly and the leasing company Transpordi Varahaldus and then sell them. "Nordica's course suggests that the state was not a sufficiently competent or interested owner in a business area as complex as aviation," said Estonia's Audit Office.

From November 1, 2023: Tuifly is introducing new hand luggage rules

Jan Gruber 3 October 2023 09:31

At the holiday airline Tuifly, it will make a big difference in the future whether you are travelling as part of a package holiday or as a flight-only passenger. Those who have booked through an operator will receive more hand luggage included in the future and those who have only bought a flight ticket will have to pay extra to take a trolley with them. According to the company, around 80 percent of Tuifly passengers are holidaymakers who fly with the German airline as part of package holidays. The proportion of flight-only travellers is said to be around 20 percent. The holiday airline is introducing new hand luggage rules with effect from November 1, 2023. Those who only book the flight will in future only be allowed to take a small bag that must fit under the seat in front of them. Taking a trolley in the IATA standard format will be subject to a charge from November 1, 2023 and will be charged at 10 euros per person and route if the option is purchased online in advance. Higher prices may apply directly at the airport. Tuifly is thus copying the hand luggage rules that Ryanair and Wizz Air have been practicing for several years. Eurowings also charges a surcharge for taking trolleys with them in the basic fare. Condor passengers are allowed to take the smallest dimensions of hand luggage with them in the cheapest flight fares. Tuifly will in future differentiate between passengers travelling as part of package holidays and those travelling only by flight. The former group of customers will continue to be allowed to take one piece of hand luggage in the IATA standard format. In future, this may even weigh 10 kilograms instead of the previous six kilograms. According to the airline, package holidaymakers will automatically be booked the "large piece of hand luggage" at no extra charge. This means that in future they will be allowed to take one trolley in the IATA standard format and a small bag. The copy of the

EASA made a miscalculation: A321P2F order was withdrawn again

Amely Mizzi 3 October 2023 08:36

So-called airworthiness directives issued by civil aviation authorities are actually intended to ensure safety. However, the EASA made a serious calculation error in the case of the Airbus A321P2F. This has now led to the directive having to be withdrawn. The operators of converted Airbus A321P2F freighters should actually be obliged to carry out precise inspections of the fuselages. However, the EASA made a serious error in calculating the time frame. According to official information, the wrong formula was accidentally used. In order to rule out further confusion, the entire airworthiness directive has now been withdrawn without replacement. Studies carried out by Airbus and Elbe Flugzeugwerke also contributed to the decision. These have shown that the time frame for inspections differs only minimally from that for passenger aircraft due to the use of the aircraft as cargo aircraft. There is no need to adhere to such tight intervals as those originally ordered by the EASA. An airworthiness directive dated December 7, 2022, which has already been implemented, is therefore completely sufficient. The EASA originally saw things differently, because the AD of September 12, 2023 had ordered much stricter inspections of the A321P2F fuselages. The calculations had shown that cracks could possibly develop early when used as a freighter. However, an incorrect formula was mistakenly used in the calculations. It has now been shown that the risk of fatigue symptoms does not differ significantly from use as a passenger aircraft. The EASA has withdrawn the order.

Amely Mizzi 3 October 2023 08:03

The Romanian airline Hisky will be expanding its fleet with an Airbus A330-200. This will be purchased through a lessor and at the same time the airline has officially announced its intention to enter the long-haul business. Originally, company sources said that the airline wanted to use the A321LR model mainly for long-haul flights with stopovers from Romania. This plan has been adapted to use an A330-200, the first widebody in the company's history, for non-stop long-haul flights.
