Is it only Terminal 3 that’s having the extra airbridges installed?

Surely Terminal 4 or Terminal 5 (if they move with BA) will also need them if Qantas operates the A380? Or are they just not going to operate it on LHR routes?

Or is T5 being built with them as spec (hence their not being mentioned here), and T4 being left as is?

Obviously Qantas are the only user of T4 who currently have 380’s on order… I assume they’ll move to T5 along with codeshare partner BA’s other longhaul operations once it’s built?

I’m assuming that neither Air France nor Lufthansa would want to operate the 380 on LHR routes, alleviating the nescessity to have T2 modified. Will there be provison for Emirates’ 380’s at LGW, or will that just be on the LHR route?

For those of you not familiar with LHR, all the other current 380 customers operating to LHR use T3 (Singapore Airlines, Emirates and Virgin Atlantic).

Although, does anyone know who ILFC’s are destined for?

Thomas Cook (the Travel agents) have been operating for something like 150 years, now, I believe… so no, I don’t think he’s still alive.

And why would JMC now be bothered when it’s been operating with that name for so long, anyway…

Quite apart from which… with a middle name like that, he must surely have been a Scottish referee rather than a travelagent…

huh… never mind that…

how about daisy cutter it like Thompson? 😀 😎 :p 😉

anyway, shouldn’t this be in the general forum?

yeah, the full CAA registry is at http://www.caa.co.uk/srg/aircraft_register/ginfo/search.asp

dunno about that… Star would still have Air Canada in the North American market…

What would happen to oneworld if American were to dissapear… oneworld would be left without a foothold in the biggest market in the World…

What’s the big deal about red dots?

A lot of you had trouble with the new JAL scheme, now you have a problem with EI putting their web address on the fuselage?

Come now, I find it more aesthetically pleasing than some charter schemes…

aye, but without working for them…

I’ve flown with Air France from CDG to YYZ, so that dosen’t really count, being an english speaking country, so the only flight I’ve been on that hasn’t involved one of:

UK Airport
British or American crew
English or American speaking destination

was on Crossair from BRU to BSL a year or two ago. Safety demo was in English (can’t quite remember what else, though, although I speak both French and German, anyway).

IFE, well, it was an hour’s flight on a Saab (340 outbound, 2000 inbound), so, come on, you didn’t really expect any, did you… 😉

Actually, no, I’ve also flown Air France ZRH to CDG and back, and they only made announcements in French and English. So there you go.

Only thing about Lufthansa is the Sauerkraut in the food… 😉 😀 😛
