    why 3 x A320 arrivals from LBA and no flights back to LBA?

    “M” for maintenance, maybe? 😉

    Regarding the “disappearing” LBA flights – could they be a combination of end-of-lease aircaft arriving at MAN in preparation for return (eg Skyservice A320s) and aircraft being prepared for winter lease elsewhere?

    It’s no big deal, it happens every year. 😎

    Isn’t there a Jordanian VIP A340 as well – JY-ADH (c/n 009)?

    I saw it at Glasgow some while back.

    And don’t forget HZ-124 (c/n 004) either. 😉

    Since when did My Travel start reusing DC-10s!!!!!!!!!

    They didn’t actually stop using them. G-BYDA remained in service when the others retired.

    From my office window in Salford Quays I was able to watch the An22 all the way down the 24R approach.

    Glorious!! 😀

    I only shot the one Yak, the other was miles away and beyond the power of my legs

    Nice pictures all the same, Ren. 😀

    Does anyone have a picture of the two Yaks in Glasgow this evening?

    The question being, “Will the real Continental 764 stand-up”?

    It already has, Joe. It’s the one on the Continental website that I linked to and then included in a later post.

    The others are “route-specific” configurations on semi-dedicated aircraft used on Pacific routes.

    As I said earlier, Continental used to do the same thing with the DC10s. Luckily they all passed through Ringway for servicing by FLS. 😀

    Percentages are always misleading when it comes to passenger growth.

    For example:

    Blagways flew 100 passengers from Here to There last June, and flew 200 this June, they can rightly claim to have experienced 100% growth.

    However, Grot Airways flew 1000 passenger from Here to There last June and 1400 this June but can only claim 40% growth over the same period.

    Even though Grot Airways’ growth alone was twice Blagways’ total loading over the same period, in sheer percentage terms Blagways appears to be the far more successful of the two.

    Just goes to show what they say about lies, damned lies and statistics. 😀

    I think that the seating diagrams that Matthew has posted refer to specific configurations for aircraft assigned long-term to the Micronesia services.

    Continental used to do a similar thing with their DC10s.

    As you can see, Continental’s “mainline” B767-400s have 235 seats.

    http://www.continental.com/img/aircraft/767-400_seatmap.gif

    35 First + 200 Economy = 235 seats

    The figures quoted by GLAsgow are wrong…

    Based on 764 x 285 seats, the July total passenger count at GLA resolved to an average load factor of 74.56%

    Continental say their 767-400s have 235 seats (35 in First and 200 in Economy) and not 285.

    Since it’s their own aircraft that they’re talking about I’m quite happy to take their word for it – but perhaps some of you feel you know better? :rolleyes:

    The 777s have 283 seats (48 in First and 235 in Economy) so maybe Silver Snapper is thinking of them?
