Hi there,

I found a post today, which was obviously taken from another site (www.allafrica.com) and not edited in any way, not even the heading.

I always thought that this is not permitted. The funny thing is that luchtzak, a member who should know did that.

The article-url is https://www ...

Hope so too!

Thanks to you two!!!!

Hi there,

I only realised today (!!!) that I also won

I hope the prize is still available...

I am sorry for not replying earlier, but I must have kind of overseen the message, because I normally don't get that many...

Cheers,

Hi there,

I just wanted to tell you about

It's about airlines, airports and aviation in Southern Africa in general. I have got many high-quality aircraft photos from Southern Africa. (If anybody is interested to publish his/her photos, please send an e-mail ...

Well, they already got the first A319. I think an A318 would fit very well on smaller routes, but on the other site such routes are normally served by SA Airlink or Express with Dash8, Embraer ERJ 135 , Canadair CRJ200 and Jetstream 41, so I think it is rather unlikely.

And the purchase of A318 is ...

Well, I don't know about that. But the newer B737-800s a remuch more comfortable. And the B737-200s they had were simply too old. SAA had to improve the quality of comfort on the flights to be superior to other airlines in Southern Africa taht often fly older B737-200 and 737-400s.

Keep well,

Well, that is what actually happens. By 2008 all Boeing aircraft will be sold or out of service and SAA will be left with an all-Airbus fleet. First part of the renewal of the fleet was the purchase of A340-600s and -300Es and a few A330 and six A340-200 on leases.

Keep well,

Felix

It is really cool in the A340-600s. It is not only a long, long, long aircraft, it is also quite comfortable! And quiet!
They are maybe going to get the new A380, which would be great.

I think it is good to have a strong carrier down in Africa to boost the local aviation industry, but I hope that ...

Hi there,

I find it amazing how strong SAA has become in the last years. Not only do they operate a huge number of flights in Africa, no, they also own (partly) other airlines like Air Tanzania. With new partners on Central and East African routes in the past, SAA's network is quite big. If you ...
