Very detailed newcastle airport.
Where did you fly from?
Looks like Newcastle to me?
I personally haven’t (yet).
Someone on the JetPhotos.net forum did talk about a Phuket Air 747-200 in Dubai a couple of months back though. It pushed back for departure, but some of the engines refused to start.
Phuket Air were forced to pay for passengers to fly with alternative airlines, back to Bangkok.
Let’s hope this isn’t the case when I travel with them next year. :rolleyes:
They’ve always been an od bunch. They once advertised flights from NRN (Niederrhein). I swear to god that this was their itinerary:
NRN > FRA = busride
FRA > bulgaria = plane
bulgaria > FRA = plane
FRA > NRN = busrideremember, they where advertising flights from NRN! I don’t think even Ryanair would pull such a stunt.
At the end of the day, they are still getting you to Niederrhein for a flat fare. Ryanair continues to advertise Prestwick as being Glasgow.
I’m sure that they will be a tremendous success. Extortionate fares, aircraft that are falling to pieces and flights to the most picturesque city on the planet; Baghdad.
Having sold “dozens” of tickets already, they’re sure to be popular.
‘Up All Night’ by Razorlight is brilliant.
I bought it the same night that I heard them play on Parkinson just a couple of weeks back. I had never heard of them before, but the song they sang persuaded me to buy the album.
Listened to it many times now, and noticed today that is has climbed to number 4 in the album chart!
I like it, but I think the Air France livery is one that needs to be started from scratch.
Excellent! 😀
The Britannia/Thomson 763, the Monarch 757 and the Wizzair A320 shots are superb!
How on earth can Whizz fill planes like 737/320s on a regular basis on a route such as LPL-Katowice? LHR-Katowice would be difficult enough. Who is this Whizz? Are they no seat no/no drink/no hot meal/15KG baggage airlines? Do hope not!
As far as I am aware, WizzAir is a Hungarian low cost airline which currently flies from London Luton, offering competitive fares to the Hungarian capital, Budapest.
They have a brilliant colour scheme – certainly very colourful 😀
Was parked up by Heathrow today on my way back from Hounslow and saw an Air India 747-400 take to the skies whilst I scoffed my McDonalds.
Nice aircraft, but the colour scheme needs ‘revising’.
Excellent news.
Are there any direct links with these destinations (particularly Budapest) from the north of England or even Scotland? I didn’t think there were.
I ask because there seems to plenty of possibilities for flights to these destinations from London Airports. Budapest is served by British Airways from London Heathrow and London Gatwick, easyJet from Gatwick, Luton (?) and Stansted and Wizzair from Luton.
For the first time in months, I’ve just bought a model…

…obviously not the exact one – mine is in the post! 😀
Shame there isn’t a Phuket 747 of some kind.
I suspected that it was Ghana Airways and Cubana, but I was never aware that either of them flew from London Gatwick.
I was under the impression that Ghana Airways operated from Heathrow and didn’t even have a clue that Cubana flew into the UK! :rolleyes:
Thanks
However crazy it may sound, the airline seems to be making every possible effort to ensure that as few passengers are affected as possible. They are hoping that the passengers whose flights are cancelled will settle for being transferred onto another flight at a later or earlier time.
It seems the webmaster is not an easy person to get hold of. Even his email address doesn’t seem to work. Either that or my recent email was just ignored?
Excellent report and photographs.
What was the reigstration of the aircraft that you flew?
Here is F-OMEB, an A330 I photographed at Heathrow last month…
