    Amazing experience with Turkish airlines. Comparatively new aircraft, great maintenance and a full flight. Food was a big hit. If you travel in the over night flight , you will be served meals two times( dinner and breakfast in-between snacks ). You will be also given travel kit which includes toiletries and socks,slippers,and a eyemask)Inflight entertainment is up to date.Istanbul airport was huge but friendly welcoming staff and clear signs to follow for passengers.I have shared some of the pictures I got. I would recommend anyone to travel in Turkish airlines.I would rate 9out of 10.

    Hi everyone! Just some pictures and review about Turkish airlines from Birmingham to colombo.New aircraft, well maintained, food was great and on a over over night morning arrival flight they have served two meals with snacks and very friendly cabin crew. Turkish Istanbul airport is very clean and beautiful airport with clear guidance for passengers. I can rate 10 out of 9.

    Can you guys please update here if you notice any emergency landings ?
    also note: apparently a QF flight to CDG diverted straight back from roughly the same area above to where it came from

    Three Air Tractors are on the way to RML. Any reason for the visit?
    Enroute to Bordeaux to help fight fires for this Summer season. It happens annually. Previous set of 20 Air Tractors went to Greece a few weeks ago.

    is VT-JRB still AOG in LHR?
    VT-JRB was ferried from LHR-DEL on the 16-Apr after AOG incident. I see VT-JRB is currently flying revenue flights as normal.

    Today 10:30am London time, I saw 2 x SQ A380s are parked at LHR. As per LHR schedule, one SQ A380 in the morning and one SQ A380 in the afternoon. Is one of them currently in AOG?

    SQ A380s
