Re: Rumor: Emirates to launch Antananarivo

Unless I'm not reading this correctly, it seems like TNR can handle wide body service? TK uses an A330, MK an A343, and AF still uses that 77W. Will EK have any restrictions?

Re: Australian Aviation Thread - July 2019

Talking about MEB. Is there any way to find the registration of flights from the UK to MEB in the mid 1960s? I have been trying to find the flight my dad and his family arrived on. All I know is it was British eagle and a prop plane and I think it stopped in a few places then Singapore and Darwin.
