Re: Airport with two IATA codes assigned (TIJ and TJX)

I believe Amsterdam Schiphol has AMS and SPL. I´m not sure if the railway station has another code.

Re: Airports set for large growth

AMS is also already lining up for growth. They're also opting to expand northernly to build another satellite terminal closer to the capital's urban area BS, they are not. Traffic is down to pre 1992 levels and the new A-terminal and pier are not expected to be fully open before 2025. The north ter...

Re: What’s the most famous airport in the world?

Are you real? How many 707 that have not been turned in to tin-cans are left? There are only military ones flying. Why would you want a 50yr+ aircraft except for nostalgia? Why not use a ton of 757, 767, 737-7/800, A320/1 that are just collecting dust in the dessert? There are 4 DC8's left flying. W...

A good idea for alitalia is for it to go properly bust one time. I know it sounds harsh but it's a neverending story.

Closest thing that I had was a very rude and racist passenger. We had a 6am flight from Schiphol to Corfu, and we had a birdstrike on take-of.
