    Last pax MD-11 to NYC?

    Heard that Finnair has replaced the MD-11 to NYC, is KLM still flying them there?
    How long do you think KLM will continue to operate the MD-11 as passenger plane?

    Boeing 747-800 future?

    I think if the Boeing 747-800 is going to be a success an upgrade kit for the Boeing 747-400 must be offered (if possible).
    Mainly for the cargo version, the -i version is more in doubt.

    Re: Emirates Ending A380 Service to JFK

    Seem like they´re going to fly to Bangkok and Söul also with the A380, so NYC will not be used. Anyone knows the current loadfactor on their A380 flights to NYC?
  10. Re: Australian Builds DIY 747-400 Simulator For $300,000

    Even better is that I´m sure it´s priced in Australian $ (Oz$) and the rate is about 1Oz$=70US cent.
    So the price is 207 kUS$.

    That was SAS Phil and as a result SAS removed the Q400s from their fleet. However the issue was fixed. This certainly wasn't a landing gear problem like what SAS had.

    Nope, it has been a problem with all DHC-8s, I think there´s been around 10 landinggear failures all in all, mainly -300 and -400Q series. Last year a Colombian operator had two landinggear failures...

    Re: Continental/Colgan DHC-8 crash, Newark-Buffalo.

    My guess would be combination of landinggear problem and icing, getting below stallspeed and
    then stalled.
