Noone does, but itis certified. The F1oo was not certified, Fokker was very close to certification but the bankruptcy caught up with them. Fokker intended to install additional flaps I believe so a conversion of older F100s is not possible either without incuring massive costs.
I didn’t know that!! A KLM F70 at LCY would be a very welcome site. Seems as though airlines like operating props into LCY for some inexplicable reason 🙂

Waste of taxpayer’s money to take kids out of school during term time. Full stop. Unless it’s a public school in which case it’s ok.

Who operates F70 to LCY?
No one does. Don’t think it’s even certified at LCY.

Lest not we forget a couple of departed Portuguese operators:
Air Columbus (Silent 727?! Has this been hushkitted?)
great pictures :), it’s a pity the windows are so dirty for photographers
Excellent report and pictures! Very detailed and enjoyable reading.
I can remember all these except, Canafriac. I only flew on Viva though (733 EC-FFN) in the mid-90s (lunch consisted of a light salad for those interested).
In memory, here are some reminders of great Spanish charter airlines of the 70s, 80s and early 90s:

I also remember the more recent Centennial: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/329715/M/
Most major UK airports (but not Luton) have a branch of Boots The Chemist.
Their “Meal Deal” – any sandwich, a packet of crisps and a soft drink for £2.85 – represents excellent value.
Now £3.30 in London… 😡
Doesn’t Air Europa use UXxxxx for scheduled ops and AEAxxx for charter ops? I think UX1294 is a scheduled LGW-PMI, therefore possibly no meal.
Our of interest, how much would it cost to buy one of those DC10s or 747s?
Depends how many hours are on the airframe, but I guess at £5million – 10million, maybe upwards
Should have read the instruction manual 🙂
Surely the implications of easyJet removing the restriction on the weight of cabin baggage could have a greater impact on fuel burn than this?! 🙂
