Couldnt an empty A319 do PIK-Gander non stop?
By: Airline owner - 22nd May 2005 at 17:50
exactly, A330,A340 go direct and the A318, 319, 320, 321 go via Prestwick, Keflavik, Gander and then on to the final destination I imagine.

all ryanairs come via keflavik and obviously depends on aircraft type a340’s etc etc dont need to stop over anywhere

NAT tracks change twice a day, perhaps more.
RhysD,
I think there has been some shots of Airbus stopping in Prestwick enroute out west for delivery.
A couple of Ryanair’s were delivered through Keflavik I think, though don’t quote me on that.

What I meant was the airports en-route to Europe/States that the aircraft stops at.

NAT tracks across atlantic change monthly!!

Bit of the same as “how long is a piece of string” question…. Soo many routes and waypoints and NAT tracks across atlantic change monthly!!

I know that when Qantas buys a 747 it is ferried to LAX where it becomes a revenue flight home

The purchase is usually made at the facility where the flight proving was completed (the proving usually being completed jointly by the manufacturers and the receiving airlines’ pilots). Therefore the ‘delivery’ flight is completed under the ownership of either the leasing company or the airline but as to who tops up the tanks, I haven’t a clue but I’d guess it would be the airline!

An aircraft on a delivery flight in my opinion has two owners because it comes from the manufacturers facility and arrives at the airlines base, so its like a joint venture but i think the manufacturer should pay for the fuel and airport chargers for a delivery flight.

So I suppose the term “delivery flight” is something of a misnomer then ? It should be referred to as a “collection flight” I’m guessing ?

Like if you buy a multi-million dollar motor yacht – if you want fuel in it, its extra!:eek:

I reckon the airline pays it… either they pay directly, or the manufacturer includes the delivery cost in the aircraft price! You don’t get anything for nothing these days!!

You’d think it would be part of the service, just like buying a new car. :confused:
