Hi All
I heard today on the radio out of Lagos that Arik have a new fuel planning policy. A 737-700 requested final level of 110, to which even the controller quized as why too so low, the relpy was that the aircraft had MEL restrictions because of lack of ice protection.
Well I am pretty sure that the fuel burn of a 737 at FL110 must be pretty high and the comfort of pax bumping around the inversion layer would have been fantastic I am sure.
What an outfit. Good luck chaps.
