To all

Well like i said in previous thread i must stand corrected as it has been pointed out and proven to me that PIA are starting a stn operation. I have seen it on the homepage.
Well done to all those that managed to find the info because to be honest i stopped looking as thought was a bit of a myth but LITTLE DID I KNOW!!
Sure we will all be discussing the expected success of this route and the impact of pia coming to stansted but in the meantime

Well done to all the believers out there and can have the satisfaction in winning my challenge to prove me wrong.

xxx it was hard to find

it is still not on the stn website and it was so hard to
find the info on pia website just a tiny bit at the bottom
of home page you would think they would have a bigger
window to show off a new route

Your right in that it was hard to find but i was just thinking that maybe they are hoping to use travel agents in order to sell there seats too as well of the website.
Im really suprised that there has been no announcement from stansted, is it that they love the fr and ez flights sooo much they dont want anyone else coming here.
I really hope that this is a sign of things to come with some decent airlines at stansted.
So what aircraft are they using because some people are saying 777!!
Surely someone from servisair can shed light on more details??? where will check in be? which sat departing from? is there a pia rep? will icts be needed?

[daz211]

aircraft type

pia website says a310 both days sat/tue
PK773 inbound
PK774 outbound

[sat1]

dont be surprised if those 310's turn into 300's

[D-ABBT]

I Didnt think PIA had their A300's anymore.

B743
B742C
B772LR
B772ER
A310
B733
F27
Twin Otter
AT42

I believe that is their current fleet

[G-APDK]

I am assured from a source in the tower that the Pakistan flights will start on 15/08

From the same source this winter should also see:
A combined twice weekly GSM/OOM STN – Toronto using Zoom 767 aircraft.
GSM (B767) to Florida
Carpatair (Fk100) to Timasoara
Vuelling Airlines (A320) to Madrid
Centralwings (B737) to Warsaw
Jet2 (B757) to Tenerife and Cyprus

36 RYR to be based for the Winter (2 more than last winter) and 40 for next summer (1 more than current season)

As always, time will tell what actually starts , but its looks interesting

stn winter

so nothing about GSM NEWYORK then,ORLANDO would do
well at stansted but thought NEWYORK would have came
first,madrid is also good but what will ryanair say
the storys are that madrid might be on ryanairs books

Good News

G-APDK

Phil,
Do hope your info is correct, long haul has been long overdue for Stansted. Interesting that RYR can now base additional aircraft, when it was posted a while back that there were no more early take-off slots.

[lba2006]

Wouldn't Jet2 already have announced the routes if they were going to start this winter??

[daz211]

MAXJET expand at STANSTED

Maxjet have anounced they will take delivery of
two more B767 in early 2007 and are in ongoing
negotiations for additional aircraft also to be brought
into operation in 2007

I think that they will bring in another JFK
and new routes LAX SFO BOS

maxjet JFK-STN-JFK

Anyone know why MY100 is delayed 15 hrs

[xxx5572]

dear oh dear

Looks like maxjet is showing its true colours and only goes to show with yet another huge delay, but also understand a few days previous the flights was canx!! What is going wrong to what seemed a good airline?? Am i right in saying that the 767's that they have are already second hand which may explain half of the problem or is it something else?
I am sure this is doing no good what so ever to the name of such a new airline and consumer confidence must be rather low.
Does anyone know what happens to the pax on delayed or canx maxjet flights, do they go with another airline, refund, next available or what?
Will they be able to purchase these new aircraft and look to start new routes,, what do you all think?

[D-ABBT]

Hey
The Maxjet 767's are indeed second hand. N250MY is a Previous Qantas aircraft, and even a domestic flight in Aus is a fair distance, so i assume she has clocked up some miles in their time in the skies. And N260MY has been with TWA, Aero Continente, TACA, Braathens, Britannia and Varig, so she has had her fair shair of miles aswell. They are reliable, but i must admit, they do go tech quite often, but i think alot of it is that they pride themselves in being safe, so even the slightest problem and they will go "tech". it has been known for Max pax to be flown out on EOS if their is room. But judging by MAX being very popular lately, i dont think you could fit the passengers on EOS, so i assume they would just wait for the flight too leave, or be flown out on the next available.

I believe the MAXjet flight that has gone tech today is leaving STN tonight around 2230 time.

MAXjet & TWI

Yeah Maxjet has been leaving late or pushing on time and sitting on the taxiway. On saturday it pushed on time and waited on the taxi way till 1700 before it left STN. Today went tec big time and was not due to leave until 2000 today to NYC. IAD no op.

TWI have gone bust. They went out of busniess on Monday.
