Cathay Pacific Removes Mask Requirement For Premium Flyers
Cathay Pacific has removed the requirement for premium class passengers to wear a mask while on board some aircraft – a move that can be viewed as bold or relative to health guidelines offered by appropriate parties.
An internal memo distributed among Cathay Pacific staff discloses the situations passengers can remove their masks. One of the situations allowed First and Business Class flyers to enjoy a mask-free experience when lying in a fully reclined position on a lie-flat seat.
Qantas Committed To Launch Project Sunrise
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce has reaffirmed his airlines’ commitment to ultra-long-haul travel; stating that an order for the Airbus A350-1000 could be made at the end of 2021, with the possibility of launching flights in 2024.
In an interview on an Aviation Straight Talk event, Joyce provided details on Qantas’ position throughout the COVID-19 aviation crisis; including their commitment to Project Sunrise and restarting international travel.
First Look of the $1.1 Billion New Airport Terminal Of Bahrain
Bahrain International Airport’s $1.1 billion new passenger terminal began operations on 28th January, marking a new era for the Kingdom of Bahrain’s aviation sector.
At 207,000 square metres in size, it is roughly quadruple the old terminal. The new, expanded, airport will have the capacity for handling about 14 million passengers per year.
Event: Shaping The Future of Air Cargo – Cargo Talks By Turkish Cargo
This pandemic has highlighted the importance of cargo logistics to keep the world moving.
Air Cargo is an industry that is always responding to rapidly changing situations or crises. I have called it “Crisis Management”. Before the current pandemic, many underestimated the importance and contribution of cargo logistics to global trade. It is the cargo industry that keeps the world's supply lines moving, whilst we’re stuck at home.

Video: Flying Gulf Air + The $1 Billion New Airport Terminal of Bahrain
Bahrain International Airport’s $1.1 billion new passenger terminal began operations on 28th January, marking a new era for the Kingdom of Bahrain’s aviation sector.
At 207,000 square metres in size, it is roughly quadruple the old terminal. The new, expanded, airport will have the capacity for handling about 14 million passengers per year.
I flew on Gulf Air A320neo from Dubai to Bahrain, it was a short 50 minutes flight. Find out what’s changed on Gulf Air service onboard in the video. We arrived at the new Airport terminal in Bahrain, I had a quick tour of the airside of the terminal with airport operations director Ali Rashed. He revealed that “The new terminal has opened without a public trial, during a very challenging period of the COVID-19 pandemic.” Currently, about 5,000 passengers have been using the new terminal daily, which is about 20% of the usual number.
To me, the new airport terminal has a modern and boutique feel, just like Gulf Air. I hope it will serve Bahrain well in the future.
I also visited the Gulf Air Falcon Gold Lounge and was impressed with the size and offerings. I flew back in the evening on a Gulf Air B787 Dreamliner which I will reveal more details of that flight in a future vlog.
