January 22, 2021 - by Association of Dutch Cabin Crew VNC for www.vnconline.nl
For crew and travelers from the Netherlands Antilles and 9 'safe' countries, there will be an exemption from the rapid test requirement before departure to the Netherlands.
The government has just announced this. These are Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, St. Maarten, Saba, St. Eustatius, Iceland, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and China.
These are the countries for which no PCR test is required.
It therefore...

American attorneys for Ethiopian Airlines, which lost 157 passengers and crew in the second fatal crash of a Boeing 737 MAX in early 2019, have advised the carrier not to accept a settlement Boeing has offered but instead to sue the manufacturer for punitive damages in the U.S.
In an urgently worded letter sent Sunday, the Chicago-based attorneys warned Ethiopian CEO Tewolde GebreMariam that the offer falls "grossly short" of what the airline could win before a U.S. jury — particularly since Boeing recently accepted responsibility for criminal fraud during the plane's certification by regulators.
The settlement Boeing has offered is "a mere fraction" of the actual damage, the lawyers told Tewolde, and accepting it "will inevitably leave substantial money on the table and would be a tremendous political and financial mistake for Ethiopian Airlines."
Yet like many airlines, Ethiopian is now desperate for cash.
Before the 2019 crash of Flight ET302, state-owned Ethiopian was...

(FLIEGERFAUST NOTE: This is the city of Mirabel in Quebec, not Montreal as mentioned in this article. The airport is YMX, not YUL.)
Air Austral's very first Airbus A220 has been spotted outside the paintshop with its paintwork all complete. Along with a beautifully adorned body and azure blue engine surrounds, the aircraft's tail is something very special. Air Austral plans to launch its first flights with the aircraft in late February.
Air Austral's first Airbus A220 has rolled out of the paintshop in Montreal this week with a gleaming coat of fresh paint. The aircraft is, as most are, mainly white, but with a beautifully applied Air Austral logo, complemented by a blue engine surround.
But the real eye-catcher here is that stunning tail.,

A strange phenomenon was observed at Paris Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport. 49 Chinese passengers, in transit to Shanghai, were tested positive for the coronavirus this Sunday.
They are currently isolated in a hotel, but these concordant tests lead to questions as these passengers did not come from the same country and were simply waiting for a joint connection to reach China.
17 of them came from Lima, Peru, and had arrived in Paris on an Air France flight. The others came straight from Bogota (Colombia), Istanbul (Turkey), Panama and Mauritius.
They had...

The production of the Antonov-74 transport aircraft could resume in order to supply Ukraine's armed forces, the country's government announced on January 16, 2021.
The Antonov An-74 made its first flight in 1979. It initially had the designation An-72A "Arctic", as it was an upgrade of the An-72 test aircraft for use in the Arctic and Antarctica regions, thanks to the addition of reinforced landing gears. It is capable of flying 4,600 km at a speed of 560 km per hour.
The aircraft is built around the so-called Coandā effect by mounting the turbofans on the top of the wings to provide high-speed air even at low flying speeds. Boeing's experimental YC-14 used the same principle.
The peculiar position of...

Don't want to fly on the Boeing 737 MAX? Air Canada, which will resume MAX operations on 1 February, says guests won't have to fly the type.

The carrier has implemented flexible change and cancellation policies for customers seeking to avoid the 737 MAX when it reinstates MAX flights between Toronto and Montreal, Halifax, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Edmonton.
While Air Canada says it is "fully confident in the return of the Boeing 737 MAX", it understands that certain customers may prefer alternative travel options. It is offering guests the ability to change their MAX flight to an alternative Air Canada flight at no extra charge – within the same cabin – up to seven days before or after the original date of flight.
"You can also choose to change your origin and/or destination to an alternate origin/destination within 200 miles," says the airline in its guidance to travelers.
Additionally, guests have the option to choose an alternate itinerary with no change fee (though a difference in fare would apply) or to cancel their flight without penalty and convert...

The 5 aircraft flown by the RCAF were built in the 80s for Wardair, and are now over 30 years old. In mid-December, the federal government put out an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) for suppliers to offer a replacement.
In this video, I talk about the potential replacements for the Polaris, and some options on the second-hand market!

A man too afraid to fly due to the pandemic lived undetected in a secure area of Chicago's international airport for three months, US prosecutors say.
Aditya Singh, 36, was arrested on Saturday after airline staff asked him to produce his identification.
He pointed to a badge, but it allegedly belonged to an operations manager who reported it missing in October.
Police say Mr Singh arrived on a flight from Los Angeles to O'Hare International Airport on 19 October.
He reportedly found the staff badge in the airport and was "scared to go home due to Covid", Assistant State Attorney Kathleen Hagerty said, according to the Chicago Tribune.
He managed to live on...
