Although I'm a registration spotter I sometimes make pictures with my good old Nikkon F50 camera. I've a Voigtlander 80-300mm and the standard Nikkon 35-80 and 80-200mm lenses which is enough for me as I primarly use my camera when I'm travelling abroad on holiday.

Phatius, it's not the first flight to Brazil. They've been flying between Amsterdam and Natal for many weeks (they took over the flights from Air Holland). Anyway if there are licensing problems will find out on Sunday when the next flight to Brazil is scheduled. BTW you're correct about the registr...

Just for those who can't make it today. According to the AMS website the return flight (Natal - Amsterdam) is also routed via Brussels and will arrive in AMS March 27th at 13:35. BIAC does indeed not show the flights but the AMS website. Given the fact I doubt the B767 has to make a tech stop I wond...

HollandExel today (26.03.2004) to BRU

On Dutch teletekst there is a message that todays HollandExel Natal flight will be going via Brussels. The flight, HXL 298, will depart Amsterdam at 15:20 thus arriving at BRU around 16:00. Given the fact that HXL is to operate the usual Puerto Plata flight I guess that a HollandExel 767 will operat...

Buzz and Basiqair were set up in totally different markets. Buzz was set up in an environment where it faced competition from the start (GO). Basiq air didn't (and still doesn't) face much competition (basiq was the first to fly loco to Nice). Moreover when basiq started it relied heavily on its con...
