RE: Wreckage found

No survivors, so 92 left dead in the wreckage. It crashed against the mountains, volcano, in Colombia.

The pilot was visually searching for the airport in extremely bad conditions.

RE: Worst UK Airport

I’ve only been too Luton Airport once (well twice round trip to Amsterdam with Easyjet) and I hated it, the cold atmosphere the unfriendliness of the people, the architecture etc. I felt like cattle even before getting into the plane. It’s a bit of a downturn of another very nice weekend in Oxford. Hope to visit a decent English airport soon.

RE: How many companies have signed on?

Well it’s a start isn’t it….

The board of directors did give it’s OK to the project and it should fly in 2005 and delivered in 2006. I suspect it’s going to be build in Toulouse but I’m not sure, does anybody know?

RE: Fokker

Yes, those numbers seem to be right. The management did take one off the biggest gambles when they did decide to renew their entire range. This was one of the factors, which contributed to the downfall off the company, development costs allot of money and the benefits will come a few years later. So in the mid 1980’s the Fokker company had allot of dep., mostly with the government and the output, aircraft, was virtually zero. Towards the end of the 1980’s they were able to produce around 75 aircraft (if memory surfs me right) then the Gulf war came along with the world-wide demise of the airline demand.

I think the Fokker 70/100/130 series would have been a good alternative in the current world market even though it is older then the airlines currently available.

RE: Fokker

I’ve read that one. On most points I agree. Fokker would have made a profit if the dollar went up to an exchange rate of $1 to fl. 1,80 at the moment the dollar is something like fl. 2,50 for every fl. 0,01 the dollar went up in Guilders would mean an extra profit of fl 50.000.000,- so the time were bad an a numerous other factors led to the end to one of the best aircraft manufactures in the world. It is a shame that the Dutch hadn’t have enough hard for the airline industry in Holland and indeed it would be a far better investment then the € 5.000.000.000,00 that this line will cost. Well don’t vote for D’66 then in the upcoming elections, Wijers (D’66) was the minister of economic affairs in Holland at the time.
