Hello. So I was invited to the last spotting of this year as it is becoming usual at Faro.
The weather was awful, not so many planes but my highlight goes to the 2 British Airways A319 here.
At Faro where also and not spotted: Norwegian, bmibaby, flyglobespan, Thomson Airways, TAP Portugal CS-TTS (new aircraft in the fleet), easyJet G-EZDW (new aircraft in the fleet) and TACV D4-CBG (diverted from Lisbon).
Also interesting to see was the falcon of Faro, and a big thanks to my friend Hugo who made the “falcon spotting” possible by bringing one near the airport fence.
So, no more talk and here are the possible photos due weather.

Aer Lingus abre base em Gactwick e lança voo para Faro

Joana Barros
24 de Dezembro de 2008

A companhia de baixo custo irlandesa vai abrir a sua primeira base operativa, fora da Irlanda, no aeroporto londrino de Gatwick, o que vai criar 120 novos postos de trabalho. Esta novidade representa um investimento de 114 milhões de euros.A Aer Lingus vai começar com quatro aparelhos A320 neste aeroporto, mas o objectivo é duplicar o número de aviões no prazo de 12 meses. Ao final deste tempo, a transportadora espera ter transportado 2,5 milhões de passageiros. Outros objectivos apontam para quem num futuro não tão próximo, sejam operadas rotas de longo curso a partir desta base londrina.

O anuncio da base vem também acompanhado do lançamento de novas rotas, com partidas de Gatwick. São elas para Málaga, Munique, Niza, Viena, Knok, Faro e Zurique.

No caso de Faro, são duas as frequências que arrancam a 26 de Abril. Assim, os voos saem de Faro às 09h25 e às 20h45 (chegada prevista às 12h10 e 23h30, respectivamente). No sentido inverso saem de Gatwick às 05h50 e às 17h20 (chegada prevista às 08h45 e às 20h05, respectivamente).

“As operações em Gatwick vêm complementar os nossos serviços existentes fora de Londres Heathrow, e posicionar a Aer Lingus para o crescimento à medida que abrimos novas rotas e bases nos anos futuros”, comentou Dermot Mannion, CEO da transportadora, sobre este projecto.

Ao apostar em Gatwick, a Aer Lingus vai confrontar-se com um concorrente de peso, trata-se da easyJet..

Martinair: Sixteen years after Terça-feira, Dezembro 23, 2008

Arquivado em: Airport News — Manuel Brito @ 19:56

Hello.
So on 21st of December 1992 the tragedy happened in Faro Airport. A Martinair Holland DC10 crashed while on final approach to Faro.
The weather was bad, heavy rain and strong winds all over the Algarve. The runway was flooded. So many other things that I can’t remember…
Many specialists and many opinions had been formed….
This post is to remember all who had died, all who had survived. RIP for those who died, and my condolences to their families and friends.
I wish a Merry Christmas to all.
