At my home field here, MZJ, JB now has the most number of aircraft stored, as it goes for airlines. About 40 or so E190s, maybe about 10 A320/321s. Are these only temporarily parked here?
The 190's are being retired. The older 320's are also being retired. The 321's are likely NEO's that are waiting for engines.
30 of the 190's are going to Australia, the other 30 are being chopped up.
Oh ok, so some are going back into service at least, that’s good. Always sad seeing planes getting towed to the now-three (used to be two) scrapping areas on this airfield.
About 20 air miles to the northeast at P08, Spirit Airbus models are stacking up, after that airfield opened as a storage facility about a year and change ago. Sad.
Off the top of my head, Spirit has a quarter of their fleet down at some point this year for engine swaps. They've been hit hard by the P&W geared turbofan engine problems. It's why they're furloughing later this year.
LOL.My family moved to the northern suburbs of Kansas City in 1989 and while we weren’t associated with TWA almost everyone in that side of town back then either worked for them or was neighbors/related to someone who did.
This man is absolute evil, hopefully you all can fend him off or fare better than our late red brethren.

JetBlue has been cutting costs in an effort to return to profitability after a post-Covid travel surge and a blocked merger with budget carrier Spirit Airlines.www.cnbc.com
Not sure of the current number, But 40ish by the end of this year, peaking to 70 next year, we just took delivery of our 100th Neo a few weeks ago.Off the top of my head, Spirit has a quarter of their fleet down at some point this year for engine swaps.

Maybe we’ll open a gateway in EYW and a few in the Caribbean .Maybe don't chop those 190's up. Embraer’s first E190 Freighter conversion gets airborne in Brazil.
Was on the FedEx JS last week and those boys in the van ride to the plane were talking about freighter 190’s coming over there to replace the 75’s in smaller markets.Maybe don't chop those 190's up. Embraer’s first E190 Freighter conversion gets airborne in Brazil.

That's different. Why not an A320, around the same size a 757, if its a 321 and a wider cockpit.Was on the FedEx JS last week and those boys in the van ride to the plane were talking about freighter 190’s coming over there to replace the 75’s in smaller markets.

Well, disregard. It looks like the reporting is wrong, Icahn still has the same stake he originally did.
Is an E190 wide enough to load a shipping can into?
First the rumor is probably BS. Second the volume of a 757 is too much for most places it goes. We really need 190s or 737s. In Europe most of our flying is being downguaged to 737s and ATRs, flown by "partner lift".That's different. Why not an A320, around the same size a 757, if its a 321 and a wider cockpit.
