Hi guys.

I have a phone number of BIAC that consists of an answering machine with full choice of ATIS messages.
The phone number was on a website of my dear "friends" of UBCNA.
I will try to post it asap.

I've seen in the Congolese press that there are growing tensions between LAC and Bravo. Moreover many operational and financial issues are not solved yet.

A website with a big and extensive route map doesn't worth anything to me.

Can someone tell me on which routes the DAS Air Cargo is operating ?

Today @ 14.50LT I saw a nice line-up at the Brucargo ramp:

- 1 Kalitta 742F.

Cheers,

Allow me to disagree: 1. the number of technicals for this OO-TUC is unacceptable high. 2. the flight schedules for OO-TUC, specially during weekends, is too strict: Mexico/Cuba, then Dominican, then Egypt: every time with only 1,5 hours for refueling and (off)loading passengers. 3. passengers have...

OK, but tour-operators like JetAir are usually the very first to demand the money at the time (or almost) of the booking. Such holdays are also the least flexible packages iso of self-booking for example. At this sight, all the customers can expect is an impeccable execution of their order/booking. ...

A bit off discussion but not off topic, but has Etihad already come with its Rolls-Royce powered A332s (and the genuine EY interior) ?

I was told they often came with the YB plane.
And I've only spotted the YB so far in EBBR.

Congrats to the Boeing team supervised by a woman Chief Test Pilot for the 772LR program !! Very nice. ;)

But I think the performance was well down to GE for this achievment. The GE90 has again shown its incredible abilities.

En clair, c'est TOUJOURS de la faute aux Européens. Ils ne sont pas prêts d'améliorer les choses.....
