Why are the airlines removing the words “Airways” or “Airlines” from their names painted on the planes? Is this the latest fashion? :confused:
This was an “old” livery, used twenty five years ago. BA decided that as other airline just used their first names, American, Singapore, Delta etc, they would drop the”Airways” bit. It didn’t work!!!

At some airports you may only use the APU within a specified amount of time after shutdown and before startup.

Nice photos! On the first photo, what is that yellow thing for? Is it a power source to avoid using the APU while parked at the gate?
Yes. It is called the FEP. Fixed Electrical Power. It is very un reliable at MAN, they did it on the cheap. Some airlines use their own GPU’s (Ground Power Units) others just keep the APU’s running for the entire turn round. Makes MAN’s “Green” statments rubbish!!!
Thanks for the compliments.

Yep. Standard power source at quite a few airports.
