RE: Airline flight codes

SWL= Transjet.

Thanks everyone…and T5 for that wonderful insight into yet another branch of JAL!

I have only noticed SWL popping up on arrivals around the UK this summer. They sound terrible! I hope ITV don’t make a docusoap of Transjet!

Thanks again

Ben

RE: Airline flight codes

Transjet have indeed a very bad reputation, not just for delays either.
I did manage to get a photo at EMA, this was only 1 hour late!

For codes try my database on my web site:

RE: Airline flight codes

Transjet must be the worst airline in the UK for delays,13 hours I think one was delayed at NCL for!Even got an apparence for its delays on BBC LDN!That shows you….

RE: Airline flight codes

Transjet seem to have had quite a few problems in the last few months.
I believe they are owned by the same person that owned Air Ops,who
flew those lovely Tri-Stars in various colour schemes a few years ago.

RE: Airline flight codes

I feel a right indiot now! I’ll track down the site site which told me it was a Japanese Airline!!

It is indeed the Swedish Airline Transjet, their website can be found at http://www.transjet.se/ and is really quite poor because just about all of it is under construction!

Interesting…

How coincidental. Tomorrow, it will be a year to the day that 12th June 2001 a Transjet MD83 SE-RBI had to a have an emergency evacuation when smoke filled the cockpit area. The aircraft eventually took off 11 hours late minus some passengers who refused to re-board it.

Funny stuff!

RE: Airline flight codes

I think swl is a Swedish airline Transjet who are rapidly getting a reputation as being a tad unreliable.Operate MD80 series aircraft and B747 classics.

RE: Airline flight codes

Sorry, I’ll take that back, I’ve been doing some research…

I think they operate only 737-400s and fly to the following destinations and do not fly international routes: Tokyo Haneda, Osaka Itami, Fukushima, Komatsu, Okayama, Matsuyama, Kochi, Fukuoka, Naha, Ishigaki, Miyako, Kumejima, Yonaguni.

Possibly something to do with JAL judging by their logo, what’d you think?
