Jump to postDon't forget Airbus will have already received deposits from Swissair for the 9 A346 which were later cancelled. This means Airbus can afford to offer discounts when searching for a new customer for these aircraft. As we all know the new operator ended up being SAA. On to the topic: This is fantatic...
Jump to postI flew on a SV A300 last month. The a/c according to the inflight mag was an A300B4-620. There were no wingtip fences on this plane! As I discovered not all -600s have the wingtip fences. Perhaps only those where the designation ends with an <b>R</b>. For example A300B4-605R. <br><center><a href="/o...
Jump to postWhen Airbus launched the A330/A340 family the A330-300 was offered with a MTOW of 217t (or was it 219t ?). The A333 was optimised for the short-medium haul sectors. Customers such as CX requested better range for the A333 so MTOW was increased to 230t. Another increase bought the MTOW to 233t. This ...

Jump to postSeems like Garuda leases quite a few planes for Hajj. When I was in JED on Feb 15th I saw a BY 763 in Garuda colours parked on a remote stand.

Jump to postIf Amadeus is correct then BA will return to ISB on Sunday 31st March 2002. Flights will be 3x weekly (Sun, Tue & Thur).
BTW, Egyptair returns on 1st of April. Twice weekly to KHI. A300 via DXB.
Checked the flight number on PIA's website the type is a 747-200M. So 250 pax is not a bad load factor! At LHR T3 on Sunday evening, PK785 finally arrived 4 and a half hours late!
