Re: Turkish Aviation - November 2023

One thing that worries me about the rapid growth is the capacity of current airport at Istanbul. At the moment airport feels like it is already reaching maximum capacity. I do not have the latest number but I think current terminal has the capacity of 90M pax and it is already at 65M per annum but a...

Re: DC-10 Present Day 777-200

The 772 is 30ft longer and can seat a lot more people. IMO 2-5-2 is far superior to 3-3-3 and I can't for the life of me figure out why it's been abandoned. 3-3-3 effectively doubles the amount of people who need to climb over 2 people to get to an isle. Unless you are a family of 3 with a young ch...

Re: Turkish Aviation - November 2023

It is going to be a long night for at least 10-15.000 people.

I wonder what is the source of the malfunction, system failure? cyber attack?

Re: Turkish Aviation - November 2023

Thank you for the new thread, Reporting on board of TK1883, IST-VIE. My first time on a TK 350 and it is one of the Aeroflot ones. Business Class cubicles are nicer than the TK’s own but still too much privacy. I do not see anything else but my cubicle. Foot holes are also bigger than TK’s own. I s...

Re: Turkish Aviation - October 2023

congrats Pegasus for the 100th aircraft, any news for the 2nd runway at SAW ?

Re: Boeing 727 woke me up last night

I live in Lynnwood, WA....my house is 7 miles ESE of Paine Field in Everett. At about 1:35 a.m today I was awakened by a loud jet noise....and my windows were closed! The jet roar was loud and audible for a good 4 minutes. Did you ever experience 747 or 777 landing at the same time? I was wondering...

Re: Finding myself at Airliners ( while I am inside the airplane)

Found myself, Air Transat A332, C-GPTS, ATH-YUL-YYZ, August 10th, 2011: 2128202 Lucky you :) I still could not find any, even from contemporary times, @phatfarmlines I never thought of youtube for more recent flight, at the moment I search older flights but next time I fly to an airport with a dedi...

Re: 1024px vs 1920px

You will have better success with your uploads at 1024 - 1200 pixels wide. In order for a photo at 1920 pixels wide to be accepted it has to be of very high quality and close as possible to being perfect. Screeners see uploaded photos at actual size, we do not enlarge them. Hope this helps. it does...

Re: Finding myself at Airliners ( while I am inside the airplane)

There are far too few photos published in the public domain for this to possibly succeed. It's hard enough to find the aircraft registration (tail) number of specific flights in the past... True, that is the exact problem I have, images are too few, I do not have tail numbers of old flights. On top...

1024px vs 1920px

hello I was wondering if posting images 1024 px wide vs 1920 px wide ( minimum vs maximum allowed) affects the approval process? The reason I am asking this is that I do not have a great acceptance ratio ( %18 at the moment for about 50 images). Since I get rejected often I upload photos at smaller ...

Finding myself at Airliners ( while I am inside the airplane)

Well as the title suggests I am trying to find myself or to be more precise, I am trying to find photos of airplanes while I am inside of them using A.net database. I was lucky enough that my dad recorded all of my flights ( he used a notebook but now I use Flightmemory.com) and from that informatio...

Re: Iconic flights in 2023

I don't know how important it will be but there is a very big possibility of TK flying to Australia soon ( I think to Melbourne via Singapore), you can try to catch the inaugural flight.

Re: Turkish Aviation August 2023

Press reports that Cukurova airport should open 29 October 2023, with a 3 month test period, and real flying early in 2024 Is this realistic, and do people believe this will happen ? It might and it might not, I flew over it on late June ( you can look at the database to see the image), there is a ...

Re: Turkish Aviation July 2023

I think that is the key issue - not necessarily the actual seat used but the condition of the seat. I much prefer TK’s Business Class on the 333/77W. I find it much better for sleeping and find it feels a lot more spacious than the staggered / herringbone seats. However the product is starting to l...

Re: Turkish Aviation July 2023

"Quoting Thepilot730 (Reply 7): Czech Airlines use their A310 on flights from PRG to EWR. The range on that flight using great circle is 4095nm. Pretty close to the aircrafts limits of 4350." I don't know about 4350nm. to be its limit. TK used the 310s on the IST-JFK route till the 340s a...

Re: Turkish Aviation July 2023

I must have missed this; Gone are the days with A310s with a stopover in BRU. I once heard, in the early 90s ( before 343 flights) one flight by A310 skipped BRU ( because the airport had delays or traffic that day) and went directly to JFK and the pilots were reprimanded for this. I do not remembe...

Re: Airbus: No A350 Stretch In The Next 3 Years

one day A350 will be so long, you will need a mini-subway system to go from the first class to the back of economy class.

( I bet someone here will calculate how much of baggage system that subway system will take)

Re: TK and FI Announce Codeshare Agreement

If this agreement will lead to direct flight to KEF I would be very happy as I want to go to Iceland for a long time. Just for the sake of an arguement, lets say there is a direct flight from IST to KEF either with TK or FI, would FI use this as an oppurtunity to get some transit pax traffic from IS...

Re: Turkish Aviation May 2023

Thie following question(s) are partly related to Turkish Aviation and/or TK but still has some connection.
