The Tupolev TU204 is not a cargo plane Well, it doesn't have to be anyway. They can be either a cargo or a passenger plane. Just like the 757. Air Cairo has both Cargo and Passenger Tupolev 204's. Some of their aircraft operate for TNT at Liege indeed. The Tupolev 204 is the replacement for the 154...

ATCBox forum has some news about Dutchbird/ Holland Exel, which has requested slots at Amsterdam to do AMS - AYT - NRN - AYT - AMS. Read more about it here; http://www.atcbox.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=6387&highlight=nrn To translate the key parts, the post says slots h...

Hi,

Over here we had a visibility of less then 100m this morning. Luckely there is no traffic at Enschede (EHTW) anyhow.

The list you are giving is not really relevant to this forum though? Niederrhein (sorry, Dusseldorf-Regional) is not affected.

Cheers,

Robert

For most of the flight the aircraft is flying in freezing conditions, this causes the fuel in the wings to become very very cold. When the aircraft is on the ground and outside temperatures are not too high (like 8 degrees) the fuel can still cause iceing on the wing. So this can be the reasson why ...

There is no Vbird 2, so your question is purely theory. Ryanair offers free tickets because; 1) It's good for publicity 2) They are one of the most profitable airlines in Europe and can affort to do so A new startup which your Vbird2 is, would love to have good publicity, but in my opinion they woul...

Hi, http://www.boeing.com/assocproducts/aircompat/acaps/7474sec3.pdf First check page 22, at Sealevel, the 747-400ER can takeoff from a 2170m runway at a maximum weight of about 345.000kg. (+/- 760.000lb). If you load more you will need more runway, which isn't there... A 744 weighs about 399.600lb ...

I have not heard of or seen a plan like that. I severely doubt they are planning anything like that. The NRN runway has 2440m available for takeoff and landing, which should be more then enough for most aircraft (well, for flights within Europe and to the popular holiday area's in Turkey, Greece and...

Interview on 6 November 2004 with the CEO of the airport in Eindhoven: "Hoewel er steeds meer low cost operaties vanaf Eindhoven plaatsvinden heeft nog geen enkele prijsvechter een (thuis)basis op de luchthaven. Wordt het niet eens tijd voor de vestiging van zo'n lagekostenmaatschappij? "O...

I don't know the Hahn airport very well, but looking at their website, they will be handling around 3.000.000 passengers and 60.000tons of airfreight, with an estimated 33.000 flights this year. NRN; Curently Ryanair is doing 3 flights a day during the week and 2 in the weekends (i think), that make...

Hi Cusario, No-one knows. All we can do about that is speculate and guess. As a simple rule of economy, Ryanair is not known to pay a lot to airports, so if no other airlines fly to NRN within a reasonable timespan, the airport will be paying more then they get in, which is not a good situation and ...

Off course it can be the end of the airport. But I do not think it will come this far. I think if vbird really goes bankrupt, there will be another airline to take over the slots! We now know that NRN works!!! I have confidense in the aiport!! Ron VBird was, according to themselfs, making a profit ...

Some news about DBR's B757's..... All three B757's are going back to the leasecompany early 2005 (inside information!). There's no decision yet about the A320's but there's a fair chance that they will be replaced by..... Boeing 737-400 aircrafts!! Didn't ExelAviation buy 4 B734's....??!! Hi, doesn...
