    Withdrawn QANTAS B767-300ER VH-OGI Leaves Australia.

    Withdrawn QANTAS Boeing 767-336ER VH-OGI positioned Sydney – Victorville for storage this afternoon as QF6017 (http://www.theqantassource.com/)
    Any idea how many B767s are remaining in Qantas fleet right now?

    Air Seychelles takes delivery of 1st A320.. Aircraft rego is A6-EIA. They are planning to fly Seychelles to Mumbai using A320. I am wondering if A320 can fly SEZ-BOM?



    Air Seychelles celebrated the arrival of its first A320 on 30 November. The aircraft, leased to Etihad (A6 -EIA ) , was named Amirantes , the name of a coral archipelago of the Seychelles. This device will allow the company to open three new routes to Mumbai, Dar es Salaam and Antananarivo. As for the flight program , it will be overhauled. For example , the frequencies to Abu Dhabi spend seven to nine a week. The A320 is converted into two-class configuration , with six seats in business class and 120 in economy class. Air Seychelles also operates two A330-200 - from Etihad 's fleet - and six Twin Otter. - See more at : http://www.journal-aviation.com/actu....0xXUWPaj.dpuf

    as per NZHerald...
    New US route planned

    •Air NZ is looking at adding to its routes to the US.
    •Chicago, Houston and Las Vegas are on the shortlist.
    •Chicago is almost 13,200km from Auckland.
    •It is within the Dreamliner's 15,372km range.

    I was suggesting Las Vegas closer to LAX. But as above they might add Chicago. An announcement could be made by early next year and flights start within the next 12 months.

    The strategic partnership with surinam airways : http://easternairlines.aero/news/sur....7QZbzJl8.dpbs

    According to wikipedia they have placed orders for 10 737-800s and 20 Mitsubishi MRJ90s
    Do you know why Eastern Airlines ceased the operations in 1991? in the past they served international destinations like Gatwick etc.. Hopefully they will give a new look for the New Eastern Airlines.

    Those A343s were manufactured back in 1997. They must have retired the A343s before retiring A345s which flew the first flight in 2003.
