Well, not really. I suppose it was a charter flight. Sometimes we have technical stops of planes flying from Scandinavian to the Cannary Islands and medical emergencies of holidaymakers which can´t cope with alcohol and fear and have heart disorders. Sometimes air rage and many times emergencies. The airport is overflown constantly by hundreds of flights. So the percentage of incidents is quite frequent.

Great photos. Do Excel regularly visit SCQ or was this a one-off?

Iberia Regional or Air Nostrum bellongs to Serratosa Family, the richest one in Valencia, which owns several concrete factories, developing industries and many others. Initially they wanted to serve as Valencia airline, just to give non stop flight to Valencia businessmen, in many sectors that Iberia couldn´t afford having flights, due to costs. So they started to grow up and Iberia saw that it would be a fantastic option to put a claw on them, since they lack regional planes. Although a franchise, an using Iberia network…they have a different operative structures and Air Nostrum always decide where to fly. So sometimes they have duplicities as far as destinations are concerned. Nowadays, they have been awarded several years running as the best regional airline in Europe, and they really deserve it. Leather seats, ultra fine china, large meals, champagne in all flights, hot chocolate in breakfast and discerning service.

I thought all the LX Avros had been repainted to Swiss colours, leaving just the Saab 2000 and Embraer Fleets in Crossair colours? (*sigh*)

airband, Air Nostrum is a franchisee of Iberia.

Nice shots! Seeing 2 767s in a day can’t be that bad! 😉

Also, the latest Airliner World (October 04) has an Air Nostrum article in it, so that could be worth a read.
