I connected in Frankfurt from Singapore to London the other day and had to go through security.
Jump to postComing home to AKL from CHC last Thursday, arrived 2.30 and encountered a queue stretching past the escalator coming up from security control, and it was back to the food outlets. I thought it must be a queue for a flight and walked around it, however it was for the Koru lounge, never seen a queue ...
Jump to postThis is so good to see. The Concorde I flew is now in Barbados and years ago we cruised down to see it and I sat in my seat once more. But I heard that the exhibit is now closed. Can anyone give us an update? Not clear on how the plane fits in with the plans https://barbadostoday.bb/2023/11/18/conc...

In my life, I have always followed Russian aeronautics. It is sad to think that it’s airplane industry too will tank. I made a trip one year to Russia and I toured St. Petersburg and Moscow - and both did not disappoint. Putin had not taken over yet and both cities were lively and I thought Russia ...

The JQ gates, will eventually become the integrated domestic pier. Are you sure of this? I was under the impression the footprint of the new domestic pier would be on top of the tennis courts?

Here's a flythrough of the new museum. The highlight are the American A380s at the airport. Maybe they know something we don't.

From flightaware it appears that 2 QR flights landed on Sunday but instead of leaving they are both in Auckland and scheduled to leave on Wednesday.
Was it getting dark? Maybe the sun was going down. It gets darker when the sun goes down.
Jump to postA new airline being set up in Australia called Koala Airlines using 737 MAXs. http://www.koalaair.com.au Their livery looks real nice plus they show a route map with flights from the Australia East coast to NZ.

Jump to postI was on LH 638 tonight which diverted to Athens for a passenger who needed medical attention. It got me thinking. Once the airline gives the passenger to local medical personnel do they have any more obligations to the passenger? If the passenger didn't have insurance are they essentially stranded?...
Jump to postAh great thanks. That's the one. How did you find this out? Is there another site we can look at?
Jump to postHi all
This morning just behind EK8 into Heathrow at 7:50 I saw what looked like a 747 just behind it (I think 748). It had some type of lines on the nose. I went on both flightradar and flightaware but couldn't see it which was strange. Anybody know what it is?

Jump to postThe Air France livery is also from the mid to late 1970s. It received an update in 2009 but much like Singapore Airlines it’s still essentially the same design, give or take a few details. I'm going with Air France as they have managed to keep both the original livery and all the original dirt that...

I flew into Auckland late last night and saw what looked like an a350 with the word Olympus on it. Anybody know this airline and what it's doing there?
Jump to postSomething that popped into mind when thinking about extending the runway at WLG. We know doing so will be massively expensive. It is unlikely to massively unlock travel for long haul. And we can't just move it up to Param. But do we know if any thought has been put into effectively closing down WLG...
