OK so final clue....
The African airline featured in the new program is located on a tiny airline close to where we filmed this very old french aircraft type...
Once you find this, the European airline featured is located at 11 o'clock.
This requires a bit of research but it can be done.
Good luck

I think the African Airline is STP Airways from Sao Tomé which operates the Boeing 767 and the European airline is EuroAtlantic Airways from Portugal which operates the Boeing 757 and 767 and owns 38% of STP Airways

Right well Sao Tome becomes out 787th destination... on the day the 787 was scheduled to fly... what a shame.. Anyhow I thought the 757 part of the DVD was very interesting with the overflight of Africa, communications issues, landing on that tiny island on a short runway, weather on the way back, nice night landing in Lisbon and a nice crew. The 767 is rather standard but really nice views in the flightdeck during the 4 takeoffs and landings.
All in all I'm very happy with the program...
The planning right now is for us to release 3 sold out DVDs next week... followed by our 212th airline before our 1st summer closing... and I will say I'm again very excited about this next program but no clues yet, sorry

It is indeed Euroatlantic and STP..even though I love the 757 and 767, I have to admit flying BRU-TFS-BRU twice (and with the exact same aircraft type) is not really appealing..

As the producer of this series one of my aims has always been to bring our viewers the maximum out of each program... It would have been just as easy to make this program strictly on the 757 to Sao Tome... not to mention a lot cheaper to produce while bringing in the same revenue.. but I think our viewers are used to getting a packed program with as much as possible...
We normally would have done the Tenerife roundtrip once to complete the program but I decided to do it twice for it would allow us to give our viewers some more and different views on the pilots flying the approaches and landings as well as takeoffs. The 767 happens to be one of those aircraft that gives a few more possibilities thanks to its size so we just went for it... Off course another destination would have been nicer but the choice was Hurghada in the middle of the night or another Tenerife in daylight...

The next airline joining is the 9th member of one of the airline alliances and by that I mean that we have already featured 8 airlines of that alliance in the series.

Have you seen programs such as Vancouver Island Air and Rusts? Loads of great scenery on these. As for operations, the flybe DVD is one with a good tour of operations..
At 3 hours long, I'd say there's plenty of time for all these things on each program and most do already have these aspects (and more) included.

Thats great to hear...
While our goal is try to give an overview of airlines and routes all across the globe... we also want to try to fly each type and that includes the A380... but it may be another few years before we get a decent agreement in place with an airline in order to cover that one...
We may end up getting the 747-8 before we do the A380... who knows...
I hate to say this in public but its very unfortunate that airlines like Singapore, Qantas, Emirates and BA are extremely uncooperative!

Scenery and operations is what is in every of our program... We focus a part of each DVD on showing both the views on takeoff and landings... as well as during the flight.. whenever there is something to see off course, sometimes you're above the clouds and there is nothing.
Over the years we've experimented with exactly what amount of outside cockpit (scenery) as opposed to inside cockpit views people wanted to see... I think we are about where we were looking to be and the current formula is working... give or take a few percent one way or another and also depending on the programs.. some will have more of one or another.
As far as operations... everything you see on our programs can be called operations...
Maybe you are referring to being inside an operations office? if so, thats been shown on a variety of programs as well where we will let a flight dispatcher go over the flight plan, weather or have the pilots go over it in the dispatch office... some programs have gone into a bit more details we far as showing them planning flights, aircraft etc...

JP - On a similar theme I have a slight request (and please please don't take this as a negative comment in any way) but.....would it be possible for you to film the takeoffs/landing with a more wide angle view sometimes? Sometimes I feel the view is a little too zoomed in and only shows what's going on through the windows. It would be good if we could see the panels and through the windows at the same time a bit more.
Again it's not a criticism I just though maybe it's something you guys could look into.

That is indeed a note our cameramen have however most of the time the light makes such an ideal shot impossible... We've been a bit more successful at this than in the past though so we'll continue to try for that off course... and trust me I've taken all requests and suggestions seriously since we started this series, if I hadn't I doubt we would be where we are today so feel free to send them over!

KLM Cityhopper, KLM UK, KLM Exel and Transavia have all been featured, not sure why KLM has been so resistent in joining.

Btw JustPlanes, - just an idea, But I reckon it would be something different if you were to film and get a detailed explanation of the aircraft galleys and how the f/as prepare the meals and service. I know you show cabin shots of the service and galleys in most of your programs but in the ones that I've seen theres been no explanation of how everything works and what each part does. The galleys are probably the part of the aircraft that I know the least about and it would be good to get a bit more knowledge about.

Actually we have done a few programs that present and explain galleys... don't ask me which ones... just too much out there to remember that... We've also had some food preparation and presentation footage.. mostly on the Austrian long haul programs if my memory serves me right. Footage of the cook preparing the meals etc...
On the SN Brussels program the purser takes more than half hour to present his duties and the crews work on the flight.

Well, according to the Star Alliance website five airlines founded the Star Alliance..the sixth member was VARIG, and apparently Ansett Australia and Air New Zealand joined at the same time, so technically they both would be the 7th member..but since Ansett is no longer with us, I'm gonna guess the new WAR DVD will feature Air New Zealand!
Quoting PHBUF (Reply 47): I'm gonna guess the new WAR DVD will feature Air New Zealand!
That would be really cool, also a good possibility since Justplanes did a DVD on Freedom Air a few years back which was part of Air NZ so they already have a previously existing relationship.

So far the 8 Star Alliance videos JustPlanes has covered are Lufthansa, United, Varig, Austrian, Spanair, South African, Swiss and Turkish Airways - I think thats the 8th one.
So that leaves:
AC - Unlikely
SK - Even chance
TG - Even chance
NZ - Even chance
NH - Even chance
SQ - Highly unlikely
BD - Even chance
OZ - Even chance
LO - Even chance
US - Highly unlikely
CA - Not a chance
FM - Highly unlikely
MS - Highly unlikely
TP - Even chance
Without knowing the relationship JustPlanes has with those airlines, I would say that SK, BD and LO are possibilities since they normally cover a lot of European airlines. The Asian airlines like TG, NH and OZ are hard to guess since JP hasn't been in that area too much but they probably a bit more unlikely than the others. I'm going to go with either SK or NZ.

I have to congratulate NZAA320 on a very well done post!
1 minor correction in your list of 8 Star Alliance airlines... I did not include Varig since they are no longer in it... but I did include Blue1... no big deal though...
Your conclusion at the bottom of your posting is very accurate I must say... I guess in 12 hours or so you will find out who is really joining the series.

Is it the case then that a new management at an airline that has refused to work with you in the past can make way for new negotiations? (not saying AC refused to work with you as I obviously have no idea what the background is on that one).

In the end of the preview video the FO said '..., hope some day we'll get to see you on the 777 or 787 AC is going to get'.
Could this be a secret hint for upcoming DVDs? Air Canada Triple 7 would be a stunner!

Nah.. dont really think anyone would be interested...
I will give out a little bit of info on a program we just finished though... because I'm excited
This is nbr 4 on the list so not due for release till late September I believe... however in my book it will be the best 737NG program we've ever made...
It includes the longest flight we've ever done on the type (more than 6 hours) to 2 destinations we have never been to...
That is followed by a trip into a place that was extremely foggy and leads to a missed approach followed by an autoland....
Then 2 roundtrips to sort of dangerous airports including 1 we had never been to...
There is a landing that focuses just on the instruments and shows the speeds during the touchdown and rollout which I had never seen before..
And on top of that the crews were really superb...
So we're looking at a fantastic program here...
Although the 3 programs that will be released before that are equally great and very excited about the 2 new airlines joining at the end of August and start of September!!

Although the 3 programs that will be released before that are equally great and very excited about the 2 new airlines joining at the end of August and start of September!!
That was it for today...
Justplanes!!!
You trying to kill me with all this suspense!! Anyway, around that time I'm busy with college, not like now having nothing to do. But let me just say this..........I love the 737NG!!!! It's on of my most preferred commercial aircraft. Don't know why.......just is.
You say longest flight you ever did on the 737NG. I think I might know what it is, but don't want to say anything as it's way to early.
right now I'm selling two classic Just Planes / World Air Routes VHS tapes..the Turkish Airlines A340-300 and the Flight in the Cockpit 8: SABENA. Both items will end in approx 2 days from now so you'll have to hurry if you're interested! Message me for more info
oh and just to be clear..I'm selling them on eBay
and JP, indeed, your description of the new 737 DVD is magnificent..can't wait to find out more!

Quoting BW424 (Reply 68): You trying to kill me with all this suspense!!
Let me warn you JPV not only could you be up for murder of BW424 as well as me, do you realy want that on your concious. This program is one certainly going on my list.
Can i please put in a thought for a possible destination if ever the opportunity comes up. Sal in Cape Verde. I know you will have little say in the destinations but if you do.

LOL. Certainly on my list as well. Normally when JPV singles out a particular future release, especially as he has done with this latest one, it's gonna be reeeaalllll good!!
Quoting CB777 (Reply 70): I am hoping for another B777dvd this year
That would be great! We haven't had one in a while.

Quoting 757767lover (Reply 74): Oh your worshipful could you please give us a clue to the next release?

Certainly... its all about 2s
its coming in 2 Fridays
its 2 types of airplanes
each of the 2 planes has 2 engines
each plane is flown by 2 pilots
and a total of only 2 Captains on the DVD
Goes to 2 pairs of destinations
all flights are under 2 hours
2 of the flights are under 1 hour
if you review all the above carefully for at least 2 days...
there should really not be more than 2 possibilities

Bush flying would involve a lot of short legs and usually involves only one pilot..most of the time that is. It does look like it's gonna be something small, i.e. turboprops or something like that.

JP, was just reading about Continental Airlines getting in trouble over in India for security checking of an ex-President before he boarded one of their flights. And to think they threw such a fit about your camera man filming a walk around. I believe the Indian government is a little out of intelligence when it comes to airport security.

WELL THAT RULES OUT THE DC-10 MD/B 11 OR THE TU-154 OR B727 OR ANY 340 OR 747
each plane is flown by 2 pilots
and a total of only 2 Captains on the DVD
Goes to 2 pairs of destinations
SO 4 IN TOTAL
all flights are under 2 hours
SHORT HAUL
2 of the flights are under 1 hour
VERY SHORT HAUL
Questons for you JPV.
Are we talking Airbus A-320 family arecraft here, and are we talking Europe based?

It would be more interesting to know if the two engines are jet engines or (turbo)props..considering the legs are so short, I'd think ATR, Saab or Dash props

The new program (of an existing airline) will be announced within 48 hours... even though it won't be released till the weekend... Just trying to get orders in early as our warehouse will only handle orders for about 10 days... so not long before you can find out and watch the 9 minute trailer on You Tube... and after this we're looking at several new airlines joining the series and 3 very exciting programs indeed all with their own little things to bring to the series...

Are we talking something like 777-300 ie a new series. I must say JPV you know how to keep us guessing by saying "technically;" or are we looking at some Russian built aircraft such as the L4T. Is one of the airlines based in Northern Europe?

Quoting JustPlanes (Reply 65):
This is nbr 4 on the list so not due for release till late September I believe... however in my book it will be the best 737NG program we've ever made...
It includes the longest flight we've ever done on the type (more than 6 hours) to 2 destinations we have never been to...
That is followed by a trip into a place that was extremely foggy and leads to a missed approach followed by an autoland....
Then 2 roundtrips to sort of dangerous airports including 1 we had never been to...
There is a landing that focuses just on the instruments and shows the speeds during the touchdown and rollout which I had never seen before..
And on top of that the crews were really superb...
Copa Airlines?? That would be great!

Quoting PHBUF (Reply 95): Copa would be awesome, but do they have 6 hour 737 flights?
PTY-MVD and PTY-EZE are aprox. seven hours long.
Another possibility could be Alaska Airlines. Their ANC-ORD is about 6 hours, and some of the airports they serve up in Alaska haven´t got the nicest weather....

It's Austrian again. This time with the A319 and A321. WOW I didn't see this one coming but am soooo looking forward to getting this. All the Austrian DVDs so far have been outstanding and I don't see why this will be any different. Nice one JP.

An overview of the A320 family programs in the last 3 years...
In 2007 there was
Eurofly... but that was also more about the A330
Air Berlin... but that was mostly about the B737-700 and 800 and some Fk-100
In 2008 there was
Cyprus Airways... also included the A330
In 2009 so far
Hamburg... but again most of the program was on the 737-300 and 737-700
Kingfisher... the only strictly A320 program in 3 years!
and now Austrian...
So on average only 2 programs a year for the last 3 years... its hard not to cover them as they're all over the place and so many airlines operate them...
and indeed Austrian has been one success story so doing this type was kind of unavoidable...

True, six A32X programs in the last three years, but the A32X has been the main focus on:
Air Arabia
Air Luxor
Armenian
Dutchbird
Goodjet
Kingfisher
MyTravel
and has also been a major feature on:
Air Berlin
Cyprus
Eurofly
Hamburg
Qatar
Spanair
so for me personally, it's been covered (very well I might say, especially on Dutchbird, Kingfisher and MyTravel) so my interest for another A32X DVD is somewhat low..nevertheless, like I said, all of your Austrian programs have been great and I do admit that Sarajevo and Bucharest are very interesting destinations!

PHBUF It's not about the actual plane so much as the crews, routes and parts of the world in my view. I've seen enough cockpit presentations but JP has hinted that they will become less and less seen as there have been lots already. I think JP is doing a fantastic job to get the great crews and interesting places that we see.
Of course there are things that I would like to see more of, Russia planes, Asian routes for example, but these are just too hard to get a deal done for filming I think. I would really like to see another Silkway IL76 type program, maybe with the Tu154, or a program from China. I'm sure JP and team would like to make these as much as we would like to watch them but the oppertunites are just not there at the moment I think.

PS - I'm not having a go at you PHBUF these are just my views.

You are very right... While we obviously cover a certain type of aircraft in each program, its not as much about that type as it is about the airline, the routes etc... Thats why we went from Flight in the Cockpit to calling it World Air Routes...
In each program we try to cover new destinations or at last new routes.
I think if we go over the number of 737s we've covered that would be far higher than the A320...
We would certainly love to cover more Russian planes but unfortunately that does not seem to be working for a variety of reasons... Luckily we have been able to cover a number of them so as to give a taste of how they are operated...
We just completed the production part of the 4th program in line for release, will be October I guess... just as excited about that one as the next 3 so things are looking up for Sept and Oct... and all 4 are around 4 hours...

It's all good and you're right about the 737 JP, for me personally these types have become a bit boring since they have been covered so many times. I can only hope for another program comparable to Ameristar Jet Charter..really loved the business jets (ok, used for cargo/freight, but biz jets nonetheless ) and I can only dream about a program involving a Gulfstream or Global Express or something like it. I've always thought the Ameristar program was one of the best of all DVDs I've seen

Hi It seems Austrian have been a great company to work with- the evidence is in the programs you have produced. Alas unless you try the subsidiary Arrows there is only the 737 left. With the Arrows you could fly the Canadair Jet Fokker 70/100 and the Bombardier Q-400.
If you did fly with the Arrows would that count as a New Airline?

I'm not sure if we will or won't do Arrows... no talks have been scheduled yet but not ruling it out.. and yes it would count as a new company... Arrows is really Tyrolean operating as Austrian Arrows...
