Another Alliance Fokker at Wellington

Another Alliance Alines-operated Fokker F28-0070 [F70], VH-QQX, arrived at Wellington recently. It is rather unusual to have any Fokkers at Wellington these days, so to have two of them on the ground at Wellington from one airline is very unusual.

The aircraft was parked in front of the Execujet hanger and appeared to be having a service of some sort.

Fokker 70 [F-28-0070] at Wellington

Parked up at Wellington this afternoon was a Fokker 70 [F-28-0070], VH-NKU, which is operated by Alliance Airlines. I understand that this is undertaking the Tauck Tours flights in New Zealand, at least for the next few months.

Europe Trip 2013: UK to Finland

Three days ago I flew from London Heathrow [ICAO code: EGLL] to Copenhagen-Kastrup [EKCH] and then on to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport [EFHK] in Finland.

The first flight was on an SAS Airbus A320 and from Copenhagen, I was on a Blue1 Boeing 717-2CM, OH-BLI. It is the first time I have been on a B717, which is basically a rebranded  McDonnell Douglas MD95. The B717 was quite comfortable to fly on - the only strange thing was that the cabin air blowers appeared to have a direct relationship engine speed... as the power came on, the air blowers worked harder and vice versa :-)

On to the photos. There are no photographs from Heathrow - it's just not a good place to get photos [once in the terminal at least]. The following photographs are all from Copenhagen. First is one of the signs on arrival. The aircraft photos are, in order:

2 x Canadair CL600-2D24, OY-KFE, of Sandinavian Airlines [SAS]
BAE Systems Avro 146-RJ100, OO-BWH, of Brussels Airlines
Fokker F28-0100, OE-LVB, of Austrian Airlines
Boeing 717-2CM, OH-BLI, of Blue1. These aircraft have a really nice livery!

Last photo is at the departure gates as we boarded.

Apologies for the photo quality - these were all taken through the terminal glass, and some are more or less into the sun...
