A bit of a coincidence because on January 15th i flew from Luton to Madeira on G-BYAW. Which as you'll know suffered a major bird strike months after meaning that the no.2 engine had to be repaced. And then on the 22nd January G-BYAS was used on the return flight from Madeira which i have now found out had a nasty gash in the fuselage. It's strange knowing that both 757s i was on for the complete trip have experienced unfortunate incidents! Also when i landed at Madeira the captain announced that all the water from our plane (G-BYAW) the galley had leaked onto the ground!

does it not worry you that 2 of the last few aircraft you have flown on are both the same type as your name and have both succome to somewhat serious problems??

I think it used to be leased out with Miami Air. Not a bad job for a temporary lease with decals.....at least they've removed most of the gold stripe (except over the instrument areas) to create a "close-to" BA livery.

Flyglobespan Aircraft
Can anyone settle a dispute between a co-worker and myself with regards to the above airline..the point in question is does Flyglobespan own ANY of its aircraft or are they all leased.I have been hunting around for a website to answer this and reckoned on you guys knowing the answer.

All Globespan aircraft are leased according to UK CAA GINFO

Kurt, l would not put too much credit to "Ownership Status: Chartered".
My Airline owns most of it's fleet, but all show "Chartered".
It might mean that an aircraft is owned by a sub company and then chartered to the main company, in this case the airline.

Mr @ Spotty M, that's one of the drawbacks of GINFO. Many other official registries name both owner and operator when they are two different entities.
A good example of this is the Swedish registry database

Malaysia Airlines Fleet Expansion
Hi All,
I'm new here but nevertheless read this forum allot. I love flying and pilotting but am rather in an industry far from it, telecoms.
Okay, i fly allot, luterally living off the suitecase. Being a malaysian and frequent MAS and Sq user, i am keen to know if insiders can share any news on MAS's fleet expansion.
I've stopped wanting to fly MAS on regional and middle east routes as i hate the 737 and A330s that done come with AVOD's, let alone any entertainment. For these routes, i fly SQ.
Any news on when we can hear any fleet upgrades on MAS, i think i have practically flown almost all the 747's and 777's, i think
Am keen to see something new on MAS.
This weekend, for the first time i will fly the LAX-SQ economy premium flight, looking forward for the comfort but not the distance ....
Carry on the good job in this site and continue to talk, pilot talk seems very amusing to read!
Cheers,
Goks
