Good afternoon:
Can we compile a list of A340-300 ROUTES by OPERATORS?
This underpowered beast will not be around forever:
Only in large service with
Air France
Swiss
SAS
Lufthansa
Edelweiss
Air Tahiti Nui
Aerolineas Argentinas
PAL
SAA
Mahan
TAP
Turkish
My couple of contributions, with example routes: --Best I can tell, Air France operates the A318 on AF1766 Paris-Florence through the end of the schedule. --Iran Air operates the A300 between Tehran and LHR. --A340-300 can be found with Air Tahiti Nui (though these will be gone in just a couple of ...
Jump to postI Found this list off of Flightaware Believed to be airworthy list as of June 5 2016 5082 3C-QQU That list is much longer than the real list of airworthy Jetstars; for example 3C-QQU was scrapped over 10 years ago at TLS (fuselage departed TLS on a lorry in March 2005) In reply to another question:...

Jump to postThe "Any active Lockheed 1329 Jetstars" thread got me thinking about another overlooked classic jet: the N. American/Rockwell sabreliner. I'd Imagine there are more Sabreliners flying that jetstars at the moment, any tail#'s? How many are in operation worldwide? How many are airworthy worl...

There is one in Los Vegas. I asked the FBO and they said it flies regularly. Hard to believe.

Good evening all. There hasn't bee a thread about the venerable Lockheed 1329-Jetstar on this site since 2012. This aircraft is VERY overlooked by many enthusiasts...Does anyone have a working knowledge of its ops? Are there any active flying versions of this 4-engined unique gas-guzzler? How many a...
Jump to postI think you'll see them get more modern frames as time goes by, it's already starting to happen. Ameristar picked up a used MD-80s, Sierra Pacific picked up a used 735 to replace a 73S and is reportedly looking for another 735. I see the 737 Classic and early NGs as being the future backbone of the...

All the news about those 6 ex-RAF Tristars has fallen through.
Can we assume these aircraft will never fly again?
Where are they located? Who are they owned by?
Is there a remote chance they'll see anything AGL ever again?
1) Is insel likely to receive those 4 other planned Fokker 70 from KLM amidst the crisis? 2) Will the Md80 Stay at Insel? 3)When's the second MD87 coming to PAWA? 4)When's the DC9-30 at PAWA retiring? 5) Will Insel return the E110's back into service? 6) Will insel return all fokker 50 back to servi...
Jump to postGood evening! As a Kennedy Native, the amount of "classic patterns" on the jetblue Tails has dwindled down to a few. The majority of (A320/E190) Tail are now Blueberries/Barcode/Tartan, however, I am not seeing any other "Highrise" (The newest tail in circulation) currently being...

These are the 'last big 4' charter operations, all of them using particularly older aircraft, such as the DC9, Being 737-200, and Boeing 727-200. What's in store for these classic 'cowboy' airlines? Will more of these classic jets be acquired or retired? Will these aircraft run out of time? Is it ex...
Jump to postAs a Finland-native, do you know anything about the intentions? Di anyone say anything besides it owould fly? I dont know why it was here in HEL. Perhaps Finland's nice dry and stable weather were reasons why it was stored here. :lol: VP-BHS came from ARN (Sweden) where is still stored another DC-8...

Jump to postOB-2059-P operated out of Brisbane on charter flights to Nauru in 2014 for a few months under the "Peruvian" callsign. Crews were American. Still seems somewhat active having done a charter to the Netherlands Antilles as well - they aren't a scrapping business. Interesting. Did you by any...

Why did they buy Vp-BHS, and ferry it from Geneva-Bangor-Goodyear?
That was HEL-BGR-IGM as N872SJ.
VP-BHS was stored in HEL from 5/2015 to 1/2017.

Jump to postGood evening. It has been brought to my attention that Skybus Jet Cargo Group, https://www.skybusaircargo.com/company, has bought VP-BHS of switerland, a VIP DC8-72 with very low time. It was historical purchase, as no airline has bought ANY flying DC8 for some time. This adds to their two-strong fl...

Goodevening sir. I've been to GCM (or MCWR) twice, and will be willing to help you out. I'm only going to be answering your first question: You will have to understand that GCM is going through major renovations at the moment, and I mean MAJOR. These renovations are going to be changing the entire f...
