    Not all get arrival visa to Canada, right ?

    Well, if the destination was Canada, may have been different.

    Not sure if Goose bay has CIQ facilities, for a start.
    no not all get visa on arrival ...one of the stringent visa issuance in the world.
    goose bay is a RCAF base and just unable to handle all of them...CBSA (AKA CIQ) cannot handle more than 15 PAX...just general aviation aircraft


    And knowing the curse of illegal immigrants ..

    Heck, I saw the Sri lankan sailors on board the anti immigrant ship

    The C-Star's brief presence in the area was regarded as no more than a minor irritant and occasionally a source of amusement.

    Chartered after a crowd-funding campaign generated US$228,000 (RM978,006), the C-Star set off from Djibouti in early July.

    The boat was held up for a week in the Suez Canal by Egyptian authorities then delayed further in Cyprus, where some of the Sri Lankan crew got off and claimed refugee status, embarrassingly adding to the list of asylum-seekers the mission was supposed to help cut.
    nothing surprise here

    "Hi Fly (5K, Lisbon) is planning to take delivery of two A380-800s over the course of the next couple of months, official airline sources have confirmed to ch-aviation.

    The Portuguese ACMI/charter specialist's president and chief executive Paulo Mirpuri said in an e-mailed statement that the first of two A380-800s would be put into commercial operation during the first quarter of 2018. A formal announcement concerning the requisite aircraft's identities, as well as their end-customer operator, will only be made in October once all the relevant contracts and permits are in place, he added.

    It is recalled that Singapore Airlines (SQ, Singapore Changi) has already confirmed plans to retire its maiden quartet of the type - msn 3, 5, 8, and 10 - all of which are owned by Dr. Peters Group unit DS Aviation and managed by Doric Asset Finance. ch-aviation analysis of Flightradar24 ADS-B data shows the first, 9V-SKA (msn 3), was removed from service in June with the Singaporean operator having since confirmed that the aircraft is at Singapore Changi awaiting its return to DS Aviation.
