I would like to ask a question again. Did the pilot make a distress call? Yes they did. And finally another question. Did anyone notice if there had been a tentative to turn back to Jakarta? Yes, apparently they contacted ATC to return to the other airport in Jakarta, HLP. After that call, contact ...
Jump to postLovely day, especially the 787 and MD80. Were window seats taken when you made your reservations or do you prefer aisle?
I do prefer aisle myself but only on long hauls unless there are solo seats compared to you 787 flight.
Having listened to many pieces of the Red Army Choir, I feel sad. :frown: Wasn't there a mid-air collision of a German military transport aircraft (an Ilyushin or a Tupolev) once, with a military band on board? There had been several crashes involving military bands being onboard the ill-fated airc...
Jump to postIs it just one a/c? Because if so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the type, but with the unit. Metal fatigue is a very serious issue. It caused a lot of crashes in the past, think e.g. about the Comet. They can clearly not be sure enough that it just belongs to one particular frame, hence they...

Jump to postCity Jet is in the process of acquiring SSJ's to replace their RJ 85's. No. The SSJ is not to replace their RJ85 at first. Because the SSJ is not certified to fly out of LCY, Cityjet will keep the RJ85. SSJ's are used for charter and adhoc operations, or lease-out to other airlines (such as operati...

Jump to postDon't forget to add a lot of $$$ for ATC-services. And ATC is based on MTOW, so the A380 is not cheap to operate. This will probably another $10000-15000 per oneway flight on that sector.

You can go to 2.90m height, AQ7 size pallets and 20 feet ULD's (6.06m lenght) + oversize if needed. That means that KLM can take a lot of odd cargo on the maindeck of these combi aircraft.

Jump to postWell, Trigana is not really an airline with a high standard safety culture, from what I know (no offense!) On top of that, keep in mind the circumstances for their operations in these remote parts of Indonesia. The risk of things happening are much higher in these areas!

Jump to postHi James, that's a really nice and interesting report of you. What a shame about the lounge issue and later the seat assignments.

Jump to postMarkus, good to follow you on KLM. Pretty standard service these days on the morning runs, I like these sandwiches, and I feel much appreciation by other passengers as well. It's a keeper for KLM, but maybe some diversity in tastes or 2 choices (cheese-chicken) would be the way to go. Greetings, Eric
