Global Airways

[POTKC]

Introduction
After leaving the airline business for over two years, the Global Group has returned to the industry, founding Global Airways in New York John F Kennedy International Airport. Rather than, like most US legacy airlines, complain about 'unfair' competition from Gulf carriers while actually failing to provide a comparable standard of service, Global Airways will focus on outperforming the competition. The end goal of Global Airways is to provide the most luxurious service in the western hemisphere, gaining market share by being of superior quality rather than by begging for help from the government.

Corporate Information

Fleet

The backbone of the Global Airways fleet, the Boeing 777-300ER is capable of flying to any continent except Oceania direct from New York City. The type currently operates a wide variety of routes for Global Airways. From shorter-range transatlantic rotations to Paris, to longer flights to Dubai, all the way to super-long-haul to Xiamen, our customers will find the -300ER to be an excellent aircraft in Global First, Business, or Voyage class as they travel over oceans in luxury.


The C&C configured 777-300ERs are used by Global Airways on routes to Canada and the Caribbean, where the amenities required for maximum comfort are not the same as on long-range flights. Seat size and pitch in Business and Voyage classes is the same, ensuring a consistently pleasant experience, length of flight notwithstanding. These aircraft are configured with C&C First instead of Global First.


The 777-200LR is a versatile aircraft, used by Global Airways on a wide range of routes. Its impressive range allows it to operate where the -300ER cannot go, such as on direct flights to Singapore and Brisbane (the first ever direct link between Australia and the US East Coast!), while the lower capacity and excellent fuel efficiency also make it an ideal choice for lower-demand routes. Our customers will also enjoy 100% hard-product commonality between both Global Airways' 777 variants, helping us maintain a consistently excellent level of service on all flights.


The Airbus A340-500 has consistently excelled in its role as the longest-range commercial aircraft ever built. Its ability to fly farther than any other airliner has allowed it to fly some of the longest flights in the world, and Global Airways continues this legacy, maintaining a small number of A340-500s for flights that are impossible even for the 777-200LR, such as New York to Sydney, Canberra, and Jakarta. These aircraft have ge same hard-product as the 777s, ensuring that some of the longest flights in the world will be some of the most pleasant.


As the newest variant of the Queen of the Skies, the 747-8 is the largest US-made airliner, and a perfect choice for Global Airways on high-capacity routes requiring something larger than the 777-300ER. Featuring the same hard-product as all other aircraft in the fleet but a wider fuselage, the type provides unrivaled luxury in all service classes, pampering customers with its smooth ride, quiet engines, and iconic presence in aviation history.

Welcome Global Aiways. Keep it up.

Nice one! While having only wide bodies hasn’t been done much before, this is a very well done thread. I might have to lease some old 345s so I can go to NYC!

Well I decided that there's really no reason to have anything but widebodies if I only fly international, so there's that. Regarding the thread, it's still in development, so I hope it'll get even better!

Yeah good luck! It does make sense, and IRL, it is a plausible business model, I was just saying it hasn't been done much before is all

Global Airways has leased its first A340-500, enabling it to begin direct flights between New York and Sydney. This is a truly momentous ocassion, marking only the second time Australia has been connected directly to the US East Coast, and the first time ever a direct flight to Sydney is available. Global 504 will depart New York JFK at 21:30 on Monday the 4th of June 2018, and all 194 seats on the aircraft have already been booked, over half of them by aviation journalists covering the inaugural service. This will be by far the longest flight in the world at 9950 miles, beating the previous record holder - Qatar Airways QR920 - by an impressive 918 miles. The flight will be nineteen hours long, during which time dinner, breakfast, and then lunch will be served in Voyage Class. On-demand dining will be available in Business and Global First throughout the flight, as on all Global Airways flights.
