Turkish Airlines Fleet Update

Turkish Airlines last month said it will need to postpone its order for several Airbus Group SE and Boeing narrow-body jets. Turkish Airlines is struggling a bit in a difficult travel market for the Middle East. According to Bloomberg, the airline is pushing back the “deliveries of 39 of the upgraded single-aisle planes originally scheduled for 2018 to 2020.” The airline is also raising the deliveries from six to 30.

Turkish Airlines explained it is reducing flight frequencies and “shifting to smaller planes on demand challenged routes.”

Turkish Airlines, one of the most profitable airlines in the world in the last decade, sees this year as a “hiccup,” according to Ilker Ayci, company chairman, Turkish Airlines, who was quoted in the Taipei Times.

Ayci says he expects long-term growth thanks to the new İstanbul airport by the Black Sea. It has a capacity to see 90 million passengers annually in just the first phase after opening, and eventually could handle up to 150 million.

“The airport will be very important for our growth,” explained Ayci. “We are so excited.”

La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel, St. Martin Review

I recently visited La Samanna, a Belmond Hotel, located on Baie Longue (Long Bay) on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. Although most of the resort is on the French side of St. Martin, a very small piece sits on the Dutch side, Sint-Maarten, making it possible to walk from France to Holland, and back again, by taking two steps. Of course, since most of the resort’s guests speak English, everyone working at the resort speaks English as well.
