Did Ryanair last week STN-HHN deffo NO row 13 on that aircraft.

A225HVY

Hmm interesting. All the RYRs should be the same. Anyway, that’s one less thing to remember tomorrow, Thank You. 😀

Apparently the last 737-700s will leave EZY during 2011

Yeah, I was in the EMA terminal last year and it was a mess, a Viking MD83 was having its engines taken to pieces with the passengers scattered everywhere. It looked in a real sorry state.

Mapjet are an Austrian charter airline with MD83s or similar based in Dublin for the summer. There is a severe shortage of charter aircraft again this year so the operators are taking anything they can get. A recipe for disaster so I guess all will be revealed in the weeks to come.

I was positioning to LPL this morning, the Thsomsonfly 737 positioned empty out to Gatwick at around 0800 local.

MYT DUB this year is a G- reg Airbus not a Skyservice one.

Edit: First couple of weeks maybe Canadian but then it should revert to G- reg MYT aircraft

Good stuff, it’s nice to see the IAA (Idiots Against Aviation) finally getting off their backsides.

MYT should be one of more the reliable charters this year so.

Star Air of Denmark operate a 767-200F daily on behalf of UPS to EMA and CGN which replaced a Channel Express A300.

RE the 737; Many of my collegues at my company have converted from the steam gauge 737-200 to the -800 and they say it’s like night and day. You’ve got all the automatics there should you want them but you can just as easily hand fly it(the -800) as like the -200.

The main benefit is the situational awareness with the map, weather, TCAS etc. all on one screen..nice. I’ve only ever flown the -200 in the sim and it’s a nice aircraft to fly but I’d say it gets tiring on the 6th sector of the day alright 🙁 However the -200 is so easy to land compared to the NG which seems to be very hit and miss.(It wasn’t my fault boss I swear 🙂 )

Air Europa have recently re-configured their 737NGs to the more modern PFD/ND to use the aircraft as it was originally designed. The disadvantage is the extra training required ie here in Ryanair it was 3 weeks training for 732>738 vs less than one week for the ‘dumbed down’ conversion.

This is only possible (5th Freedom Rights) due to the recently signed Open Skies deal Morocco signed with the EU allowing any EU airline to fly from anywhere in the EU to Morocco with Montenegro, Croatia and Turkey to follow shortly.

These flights will also be the first Ryanair flights over 3 hours in flying time. I wreckon they’ll be between 3h20m and 3h40 each way. Also interesting to note that they’ll be daytime flights and not overnighters. In any case it will interesting to see the results of these flights come October.

Another part of that announment is the change from Verona Brescia (VBS) to Verona Villafranca (VRN), I wonder whether the Stansted route will follow that move.
