BMI Freetown?
Having a discussion with one of my old colleagues who remembers Bmi operating 320s into Freetown, I seem to remember it as well, but does anyone else?

Not sure an A320 was ever used on this route but A321 (and latterly A330) for sure. I went down there a few times myself in a 321. It was planned for a fuel stop in Malaga both ways as even the extra fuel tank in the 321s meant that London-Freetown non-stop was not possible. Freetown-London however was a different matter as the winds sometimes allowed it to be done non-stop but only just... It was never planned that way but by using in flight re-planning rules it could be done legally. I managed the return flight non-stop twice.

Didn't Astreaus fly the route with a 757 in BMI livery?

I seem to remember Astraeus flying 737's on that route for a while, perhaps the -700 variant. They seemed to serve quite a few niche routes along the way.

757s, not 737s

In earlier days ( 1978 !! ) as a relief guy in BCAL spent 3 months in SL.
Happy times at Lungi with the nightstopping One-eleven crews at the Lungi Hilton.Made a change from turning round the 707. Fortunately never had to help out at the next stop ( ROB ). |
