Major Airlines Forced To Fly Empty ‘Ghost Flights’ to Keep Departure and Landing Times at Major Airports. | |

My guess is they're not actually empty. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75333922 It's probably how the government in cahoots with immigration groups are flying "refugees " around the world. The taxpayers are probably paying the airlines for the service and keeping the airlines subsidized and operating. Probably drugs in the cargo hold too. I’ve flown on a number of flights that were deserted. Some across the Atlantic, some around Europe. The thing is, from Belgium, yes, they had a flight full of Africans. Full (to DC). But I’ve sat on plenty more flights that were practically empty, some before covid. |

Thousands of planes from some of Europe’s biggest airlines have been forced to fly empty planes in order to keep their prized departure and landing times at major airports. Quoting: Darklight Europe’s second biggest carrier, Lufthansa reports it had to operate 18,000 ‘ghost flights’ over the winter. Every day, thousands of empty planes are flying around the world, as flight radars show. [link to www.news.com.au (secure)] pilot x here.

Almost a year ago, end of Feb, my son flew from Newark or JFK, I forget which at this point, to Thailand, where he is an English and History teacher. The flight went to Japan and then another to Bangkok. Quoting: Prayandprepare000 The plane from the USA was one of those huge ones that hold 700 or 800 people and he was one of four- 4- yes only 4- passengers. It was pretty much the same from Japan. He heard the same thing- the routes are contracted with the government, not with the airports. And they only way to keep a popular route you don't want to lose is to keep flying the planes. I call bullshit AGAIN. Ive been on international flights pre pandamic and after. ive sat at the terminal and watched the planes being checked,loaded and stocked. Ive also have had the pleasure many times of getting off the plane OUTSIDE the terminal and taking a shuttle to inside the terminal. Its alwys the same..which was not enough ticket holders arriving on time . what you see on tv & in the movies is just that; fantasy. Many people never catch their flight and no way in hell will a jumbo airliner that holds 900 people take off carrying only 4 passengers. we all knew why the plights were 12 hours late. |

Why nOt fly from China to the US transporting goods? And as a reward you get to keep your times at the airports when you have actual people to fly??

The airlines dont,,,, in fact The entire industry has never made a profit when looking back to day one. As Bob Crandall CEO of American Airlines once said----“It’s a great place to work and it’s a great company [AA] that does important work. But airlines are not an investment,” |

I have to disagree on this.... traveling all through this covid BS I have been on numerous airplanes with more crew than paying passengers... in the US and Intnl too. I was also traveling during SARS--part 1 and it was even worse. |

Maybe we should give them another bailout? [Article below from 2020] Why Do the Airlines Need a Bailout? “They made a fortune over the past decade.

THINK ABOUT IT!! you don't have much time left. help me, |
