Have operated several times into Bishkek, it looks like the first approach was rushed and correctly thrown away (looks like engines operating ok), and then a badly executed second approach. Whilst...

You are all missing the point. We live on an island where the weather generally comes in from the Atlantic and moves east. We are very narrow east to west and the speed of fronts are difficult to...

Very bad news for Kallita, but I don't think we should necessarily be looking at blaming the aircraft.There is a big experience gap out there, and the 747 can be an unforgiving aircraft if training...

I have spoken to the head of CAA certification today, and there should in the not too distant future be an authorised Yak Authority in the UK. This takes the YDB out of the equation and is excellent...

The cost of leasing a 747-400 versus a 747-200 is a multiple of several times. The fuel saving of about 15% doesn't make up the difference, though the maintenance cost of the 200 is bigger.(-200...

They are trying to set up with their own 2 747-400s and crews, but the start- up keeps getting put back. Knowing the Italians, it may never happen. Lots of talk........

I'm very suprised that BALPA has got excited about this issue. After all, they allowed BA to operate 744 freighters in their colours, but owned and operated by GSS for some years! (ex LH dog)

Yak 52s

Sounds great, and would love to go, BUT understand my permit- to- fly is not recognised by the French CAA.I think they will only allow landings for refuelling whilst en-route elsewhere.
