I thought according to Hollywood, the US was the only ally during both WW’s… :rolleyes:
But, I suppose the explanation for this being attributed to US forces is that the rest of the allies in Iraq (ie us and the aussies) were busy in Basra while the US pushed onto Baghdad.
oy, lay off the TriStar… it’s powered by RB211’s, what more could anyone want… 😉
don’t forget Emirates will be offering trans-tasman flights as of the winter timetable, too…
That can’t be accurate… Swissair and British Caledonian still exist? 😮 that’s news to me… and that was just after a quick glance.
well, with regards to New York, at the moment, Swiss have three daily flights , ZRH-JFK, which is an afternoon flight (leaves ZRH @ 12:40), ZRH-EWR, an evening flight (leaves ZRH @ 16:05) and the ‘UN shuttle’ (formerly SR111) GVA-JFK (leaves GVA 12:15). In addition there’s a codeshare ZRH-JFK @ 11:55 (op’d by AA).
Now, why Swiss think they need two ZRH flights to JFK within 45 minutes of each other, I dunno.
Don’t all (Western) European airlines that serve NY operate to both EWR and JFK? what you’ve got to remember is that they serve totally different markets: JFK serves Queens, Brooklyn and the lower end of Manhattan, while EWR serves the Upper West side of Manhattan, Harlem, and all the Swiss Pharmaceutical companies that have their American bases in New Jersey (although they all have their Global HQ’s in Basel, so why ZRH rather than BSL? but I digress…)
To be honest, I don’t think it costs much more offering flights to both. (GVA has to go to JFK, for ease of access to the UN building)
As for Delhi, well, I dunno. Nor do I know why they still want to operate to LCY from ZRH, but not from either GVA or BSL.
I do know why they’re cutting a lot of services to Germany: it’s all down to Hapag Lloyd Express,Germanwings and Germania squeezing them out of teh market.
This Hapag Lloyd 738 was all I could see when I stopped briefly at the spotting area at BSL on the way back from the shops this afternoon…
(sorry it’s so small, can’t quite work out the resizing lark… with any luck it’ll be bigger on airlinepics.com later though)
Hand, if the cabin’s 76 cm wider than the 767, I sincerley hope it IS twin aisle…
I wouldn’t think so, as the Air Atlanta a/c are still TF- registered, so the crew would only have to hold Icelandic licences, I think?
I suspect it’s the same with UK registered a/c that go on tours, as long as they retain a G- registration.
The world’s shortest flight IS Westray to Papa Westray in the Orkney Islands…
there’s one in the AF timetable, if you’ve got one…

I was along at BSL picking up some tickets this morning, I took the camera, but there wasn’t much traffic, except this Swiss MD-83 (HB-ISZ), taxiing to Runway 16.
yeah, well, I’ve been a Qualiflyer member since ’97… probably wouldn’t sign up to them if I moved here now…

BA, AF, LX and UA respectively, covers me on all the major alliances. (with LX just thrown in cause I happen to live here :()
Is this them finally finding a route for the 345, or is it a 343?
