As long as there are tourists screaming to find a seat to go to Egypt, don't expect too much from the national authorities. As we all know, Luxor Air was banned in France after a low pass over downtown Nantes. The Egyptian made a quick investigation, fired the Captain of the flight, shouted everywhe...

Any chance somebody can post a link to a newspaper article, news agency info or whatever to confirm the write-off and give further details ?

Thanks in advance !

The 717 is a dead-end, no matter how nice it looks. The production line will be closed soon, the majority of operators who bought 717's were the same who operated MD80's, and they did it for commonality. Apart for that really good reason which does not apply to SNBA, I don't see them put their money...

Okay, a bit of history first... The "blended winglets" of API (Aviation Partners, Inc.) is a project that has been set up in 1991 in order to improve the performances of the Gulstream II. The first blended winglets became a reality in 1993 and more than 100 GII have been retrofited since. ...

One possible explanation is that the blended winglets being just optional, you need to have the aircraft fully certified with the standard wing tips before you can do the modification. If you were the FAA, would you certify an airliner wihtout proper wing tips and all the required nav lights ? ;) Th...

Sorry if I missed something here, but on whose AOC are they planning to operate ?

Where did you read that story, SN30952 ?

I'm afraid your link doesn't lead anywhere, SN26567...

"Slightly" off-topic but worth being repeated anyway... Shortly after Collin got his job with the nutcases of the White House, he publicly said something like: "The UN sanctions on Irak are indeed working, Saddam Hussein has not being able to rebuild an army or any WMD so far, and he'...

So the sex bombs are not just in the galleys anymore ? (free special compliment to my F/A friends) 8) What's the point of hiding in the toilets and get the semtex back in your hands if you're going to blow yourself up anyway ? The Holy Prophet (may Allah's peace be upon him for eternity) said that t...

One of the best defences a crew has on board is the "self-loading freight". Almost everyone on this planet has seen the WTC crumble, and I guess quite a lot of passengers are still thinking about it when they board a plane. In April 2003 there has been a series of major airport security br...

I'm afraid the EU doesn't give a damn about flight safety. Until the EASA really takes over the JAA's duties, it's up to each of all the NAA's (national aviation authorities) to clean up their doorstep. The German did that shortly after the Birgenair B757 crash. Apparently the Swiss did it also with...
