Hi everyone,

Is it possible that someone can give a little schedule update about whats going on? Virgin Australia and Atlantic were loaded for a while, now they are gone. Pegasus displays no flights, but is listed, Air Malta came in, JAT is still in the list, even though it doesn't exist anymore and is replaced by Air Serbia...I sort of start losing track, jajaja. Would be great to get a little update about the schedule changes/ additions/ losses. Thanks in advance!

Peter

The Virgin flights were added by mistake, they are only Delta Code-Shares hence why they are no longer in our schedules.

Pegasus flights may only be certain times a week, so they will not show if they are not operating today.

Air Serbia is just JAT renamed, I will update when time permits.

Air Malta came in about a week ago or so, I have been busy with work, so I don't always have time to put out a post in the cooler every time I do a change/add or delete something.

Hope that answers your questions/concerns

Roger and Peter, JAT has now been renamed to Air Serbia, we just did the changes to that while we were having a meeting before i even read this message. What was also discussed was that as and when Airlines are added/taken away we will do a news entry as well as update the cooler. As Roger said, Pegasus flights are in the schedule but may only operate on certain days, and he explained everything else, Hope that helps.

It's nice to see the schedules being updated like that. Without trying to be annoying, how come just about half the HOP! flight are in the schedule? Just to give an example: there are no flights in the schedule from LFQQ, while there are at least 4 destinations flown to from Lille. I really like to fly them Embraers! I really appreciate the effort that's spent on keeping the schedules up to date, but are are there particular reasons why many of the flights in France aren't listed? Thanks.

Justin, We only have flights in the schedule that are code shared with AFR/KLM. Not all HOP flights are code shared with us, likewise with other airlines such as Etihad, we only have a few of their real world flights because we only codeshare real world with those particular flights and not the entire real world Etihad schedule. This is the same rule for all flights we have with code share partners. The main flights from Air France and KLM we have all real world flights mirrored in our schedules. Hope that helps.

Regards,
Paul

Yes thanks a lot... Could not retrieve this info on what flights are codeshares and which are not from public sources. So that explains a lot. Though it limits the amount of flights, I'd like to be part of realistic operations of which this is an example.
