Hi

Does anybody know why the Kuwait airways 9K-AOA visited Newcastle yesterday?

Cheers,

Usual reason for exoctic visitors to NCL - picking up bank notes from De La Rue's security printers?
Just how much cash can you fit in a triple seven?

Waveman - you're correct. It was a cargo flight taking banknotes back to Kuwait. Just over 48000 kilos of them I think! Wonder how much that's worth.....they've brought an A310 and a 747 into NCL over recent years for the same reason.

Indeed. Nearly 40 tons worth of billions of billions of kuwaiti dinar
