Remarks: One of last night flight from CDG to BKK with Thai Airways.
In 31/03/2013, Thai airways reduce CDG-BKK from 9 to 7 flight, but upgrade with A380
Remarks: This scene seems to show the state of the airline industry today: legacy carriers continuously upgrading their products to stay in the lead, with up-and-coming budget airlines always on their backs, clamoring for a growing share of the pie!
Remarks: Thai sends a mix of 773s and 77Ws on their nighttime departure to Bangkok; tonight we had the 77W. Love the bright lights and those loud GE90s as TG410 starts up for her trip home! [1200px.]
Remarks: View from a Double-Decker BEST Bus, looking down BOM/VABB's Main Runway 27. Reverse Ops are currently underway due to this being Winter in Mumbai, and winds blowing from Land to the Sea. Jet Airways 117 Heavy from LHR is exiting the Active after Landing Rwy 09, while Kingfisher's A32X has Lined-up Rwy 09 for yet another Domestic Departure. As evident, early Winters can be really very HOT! Rwy 27 was notified as a sub-standard Rwy in many Airline Training Manuals when this photo was shot, but has since been re-surfaced and made Code F Compliant.
