Remarks: Four aircraft in a frame demonstrate the stages of ground ops on a sunny summer morning in Rome; loading up, pushback, taxi and takeoff! [1200px.]
Remarks: Nepal Airlines 757 combi, the only one ever manufactured, departing Hong Kong bound for Kathmandu. They were previously known as Royal Nepal Airlines.
Remarks: SQ861 climbing out from 07R. Singapore Airlines has been operating the A380 to Hong Kong since July 9th 2009 (SQ856/861). SQ001/002 has also been operated by the A380 over the 2012-2013 winter schedule but has gone back to the 77W already.
Remarks: D-ABVH is seen here departing for Frankfurt via 07R with the “50 Years Innovation Partnership” titles and logos, which it no longer carries. After many years of operating the FRA-HKG-FRA service with the 744 it’s scheduled to be replaced with the 747-8I from March 31st onwards.
Remarks: Fedex 777 departing via 07R. While a very efficient aircraft especially for an airline like Fedex the 777s are still nowhere near as interesting to photograph as their MD-11Fs!
