    A few other awards were handed out, this from another article on the same subject:

    The Asia Pacific region fared very well, with Singapore Airlines
    taking home four awards including Best International First Class and
    Best Economy/Coach Class. Cathay Pacific Airways won Best
    Trans-Pacific Airline, and Australian based Virgin Blue won best Low
    Cost/No Frills Airline, beating incumbent title holder Southwest
    Airlines as well as EasyJet and Ryanair.

    UK flag carrier, British Airways, took home two prestigious awards:
    Best Airline Based in Western Europe and Best Trans-Atlantic
    Airline.

    CSA Czech Airlines won the Best Airline based in Central/Eastern
    Europe for the first time.

    It is strongly believed by a cargo pilot ‘in-the-know’ that if EDI got a runway extension all those lovely 747Fs that PIK gets would shoot over to EDI.

    So I believe, but then so is GLA’s as well very probably, and they have a larger aircraft.

    Sorry about the news, but you can be proud to go out at that age.
    Both my Granddads have now passed away.
    But anyway…….

    Is it just me or does ‘near miss’ not suggest somethings that almost avoided each other but still collided? They nearly missed each other.
    Whereas ‘near collision’ suggests somethings that almost collided but manged to avoid it? They nearly collided.

    Never understood why people say a ‘near miss’. It is something of a clique.
    If you think about it, it make no sense unless 2 objects collided.
    I guess what we should be saying is a near collision! 🙂

    When I’ve been to STN it is just 737 after 737, but then it throws up some surprises that you probably won’t get anywhere else in the UK, which I was happy to see such as Cygnus Air DC8 and Fedex MD11 which I had never seen before, so it was nice to see them when I visited. 🙂
