Ariana's first A300.

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

Are there any to come from Lufthansa??? I heard somewhere that it would be American Airlines leasing a few 727’s and Lufthansa giving them some A300’s?

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

That’s nice of them – let’s hope these ones aren’t destroyed!

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

Its a gift from India to Afghanistan. (ex-Air India), there are 3 more to follow.

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

I thought they were from Lufthansa.

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

lol, sorry Kabir!

Where has that aircraft come from because obviously it’s not new?

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

I was operating Saab 340’s into Stansted when the Ariana 727 was there. It was great fun for us as we were told to make a 90 degree turn direct Barkway immediately after take off to keep us clear of the incident. Great hooligan fun!!!

Just looked at that site about the recovery of Kabul Intl Airport. This surely has to be a potential pic of the day – Kabul airport at sunset.

Great pic of the A300.

Can someone explain to me what the situation is at the moment with regard to Afghanistan?

By this I mean, do airlines such as British Airways fly to the country, if not, are they going to start etc? What airlines fly to Kabul with the exception of Ariana?

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

Thanx hand 🙂

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

AA retired all his 727 a couple of month ago.

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

Does AA still operate 727’s then? Thought they had all been placed into storage… or am i wrong?

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

They also operate a B727 leased from AA.

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

Does any have the reg no. of the hijacked 727?

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

Gr8 link! – nice to see them crawl thru the other side to re-commence ops – i believe the 727 wet bak – they had 3 but i think 2 were distroyed

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

I am not sure but i think 2 727s were totally destroyed by American jets.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 23-09-02 AT 04:04 PM (GMT)]Thanx for that web address Kabir 🙂 . What a state the airport was in. 🙁

Nice to see that parts of the world can pull together to help those in need, and help make a difference! 🙂

Whilst we are on the subject, what ever happened to the ariana 727 that was hijacked and then stationed at stanstead? What it scrapped or was was it returned to the airline?

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

RE: Ariana’s first A300.

And they will be serving Frankfurt and Istanbul with the A300.I’ve heard London was a possible new destination.Good to see an airline, which a year ago,was operating limited flights is slowly getting back to normal.I wonder what the state of Kabul airport is like?
