Routes to Faro Sexta-feira, Maio 16, 2008

Good morning.
So I was searching on the aviation foruns where I participare and I saw this:
Between 13/06 and 19/09 Pulkovo will operate Faro with a Tupolev Tu-214.
There are few news about this flight and routes operated by Pulkovo to Faro, only that the arrival to Faro will be at 06:05 and departure at 07:15
Information by Luís Rosa on forum Portugalspotters.org.
So I am awaiting more news about this. As soon as I know I’ll keep you informed.

Another day… another spotting!! 11-05-2008 Domingo, Maio 11, 2008
