wow wonder how may refuel stops she made on the way to CMB... 1-2 stops?? -
A319s with belly tank can do longer range .. the longest I know flown was HAM-SIN, non-stop, and the DC Aviation - SIN-MUC
Anyway deportees may not have much luggage with them, right ??Comment

Wow... thanks ecureilx :P so she might have flown with 1 single full tankOriginally posted by ecureilx View Post

even A318 does JFK - LCY. I think CMB - XCH can be accomplished with an A319 without tech stops.Comment
-
the 318-JFK-LCY, if I remember, had to do a tech stop on the way out, only on return it comes in non-stop !!! Not sure .. \Comment

Correct, LCY - JFK flight having a technical stop in SNN when the return flight from JFK - LCY operating as nonstop. Please note it's an A318 with only 32 seater Business class. If I recall it correctly BA openskies started the LCY-JFK-LCY services using A318 after concorde grounded indefinately. On an A318, LCY to JFK flight takes 9:15hrs and JFK to LCY takes 7:15hrs. You rather take normal BA F/J class flight from LHR to JFK in 7:30hrs and JFK to LHR in 6:40hrs. Probably there must be a valid reason for operating this all J A318 service between LCY and JFK. But mostly Business Passenger doesn't like spending more hours in flying and in the 45 minutes technical stop.Originally posted by ecureilx View PostComment

Some really nice shots here of the BA birds at CMB. Great to see this airline back in Sri Lanka after a long hiatus. This is a good sign for SL hopefully more carriers will follow in BA's footsteps. Wonder why they don't fly from Heathrow though instead of Gatwick?Comment

Loads are slightly poor like 50-60 but do you knw the amazing factor in Ba fba??? Its 23kgX1PC and 23kg handluggage. +laptop bag...Originally posted by Banuthev View PostComment

Looks like this is a weekly affair....and see it made it to Darwin from CMB this time in return leg.
A319's has the longest range in A320 family and usually does 5-6 hrs trips with pax.
For example:
I have seen 737's doing 9+ hrs on delivery flights from Boeing plant to places in Europe (of course empty birds like in this case)Last edited by CalgaryLankan; 26-04-2013, 02:59 PM.Comment

Take off from Dubai International Airport (OMDB) filmed on a British Airways Boeing 777-200. This was my last trip back from Sri Lanka to the States via Dubai and London Heathrow. Couldn't film the flight from CMB to DXB cause I had an aisle seat for that flight

Take off from Panama City Tocumen International Airport (MPTO). This was on my trip during the summer to Latin America, when I visited Panama and Ecuador. Nice flight aboard a Boeing 737-700 of Copa Airlines, a Star Alliance member and the Flag Carrier of Panama!Comment
