A310 in EK
 
310Pax (1 aircraft - left over from the good old days:D )

Alexandria, Kuwait & Muscat turnarounds only.

310F (3 aircraft - recent acquisitions & conversions - ex Aeroflot birds.)

A whole variety of short and medium haul routes, schedule not really bedded in so it seems and keeps changing:confused: . Lots of regional turnarounds to India, Pakistan, Istanbul, Khartoum. Quite a few East African frequencies LLW,EBB,Eldoret), all with a night stop in Nairobi. Just started some European routes to Vienna, Zurich and Milan - night stopping, but quite a bit of deadheading between these points. Occasional charters to various places including some long haul stuff to USA with horses belonging to HH.

Roster faces same problems as rest of EK - ie they change a lot and you work hard for you money:\ ... even though there is a pax aircraft, you don't really get to mix with the girls - not a problem for many....in more ways that one.:ok:

Sporty 'little' aircraft, but getting on a bit now....:)

At first there was no chance to get off the fleet to the big stuff (ie A310 or nothing:eek: ), but now a policy in place to allow it after a few years subject to qualification:hmm: .

That covers the A310 in EK.
Hope this helps you.;)
