Very sad. I’m not familiar with the airline, or its safety record. Just imagine a similar episode on certain approaches into LHR, as almost demonstrated by a BA 777 a while ago, which thanks to some superb airmanship, was not a damn sight worse.

Some real nice shots there. I know it looks old fashioned, but I’ve always liked that Xiamen Airlines livery, though I think it’s recently changed.

Well they say that ignorance is bliss. Looking thru my pax log book, we also flew LHR-CAI on her, 3 weeks earlier. I daren’t tell my nervous flyer of a partner;) Our last trip LHR-CAI, was on their 777-300, a quantum leap over the -200.

That’s more likely;)

Very nice shots there. Who operates the Embraer?

Very nice pics. Looks as though the demand for seats to Cairo, has decreased of late. My trip to Cairo last year, was on one of Egyptair’s 777-300s

It is the right decision.
