USMC C130, COPRA41 FL270. Heading to Mildenhall from St Johns.

There's little difference in the sound between the Herc and Antonov!

Except that the AN12 is more prone to rattling the windows

over Cavan at the moment, when you look at the flight path its a really impressive distance for a 737 to travel!

you surely could do a Shannon to New York flight on a 737 fully loaded with passengers?

You could, Norweighen will be flying ORK-BOS next year and ORK-JFK in 2017 with a 737. The only thing is with the headwinds in the winter you could be stopping for fuel alot.

fr336 · 28-10-2015 03:42PM

Off topic but what's the deal with Norwegian and their continuing transatlantic expansion? I find it odd that an operator like FR can't do TA while Norwegian keep on going. I'm probably missing something big and perhaps Norwegian aren't actually doing that well despite their continued attempts.

fr336 · 28-10-2015 03:42PM

Another new FR coming in from Seattle http://www.flightradar24.com/RYR800Y/7d2acd6

RYR800Y (No reg given) just behind that one now.

homerjay2005 · 28-10-2015 03:53PM

wow, two arrivals in the one day! isnt a strange time to be taking delivery, considering that they will have multiple planes parked up for the winter?

would these planes have the new interior?

Maybe, also maybe Gander or somewhere around that area.

Westjet operate flights from St,Johns which is on the Eastern side of Canade. They operate with close to full loads. Usualy it is a B737-700.

The Ryanair delivery flights are with fully fuelled B737-800's operating at minimum weight from the Boeing airfield at Renton, Washington state.

Yep westjet to St.Johns.

Ryanair could do it no bother, but flying transatlantic isn't cheap, so the fares would have to be alot higher than their average European fare. Michael O Leary has said in short words that it would compromise their low cost image therefore would have to create another subsidy of Ryanair. And if they do this they don't one one or two low capacity routes to Canada, they want mainland USA and alot of destinations. They wouldn't be able to do alot of the USA with a fully loaded 737 and the parts they could fly to they would have to divert for fuel in times of strong headwinds (not that uncommon) which significantly drives up the cost.

fr336 · 28-10-2015 04:22PM

How long to New York in an FR 737-800 with a fuel stop?

surely though Florida, Boston, New York , Washington, Philadephia would be enough for them?

all surely are in reach of 0 stop/1 stop on a 737. would love to see Ryanair get 3 or 4 routes up, even if they charged €500 return its still much cheaper than anybody else but id say they would do it cheaper than that.

Norweigan will be operating them routes on a 737-800 with a config on 142 seats, considerably less than their usual 186/189, at this weight they should be able (on paperwork) to make it non stop.

(Not directed at Carnacalla)
Westjet operate a 737-700 on their St.Johns route, funnily enough it has a longer range than the 737-800's Ryanair use, their 700's have a config of 119 pax and 136 pax and they are further reducing them to 113 and 130 to allow a little bit of further range too.

Ryanairs 800's and new Max's would be able to do New York / Boston / Chicago but at a much lower configuration, around 120-130 pax with up to 15 of that being business class to make money. I can't see them starting transatlantic in their 800's, if it was to happen I reckon it would be a bulk buy of twin aisle jets like the A350/B777 type

cant see them ever going to Airbus, it would be boeing and would be 757.

still think the Max 737 will be what they use to cross anyway, it makes more sense for them.

Pretty sure this is David Cameron's flight to Iceland at the moment.

It left RAF Northolt in London

Edit: I was wrong. .

Planefinder has it as N897NC G5X, why would he be flying on a US registered aircraft?

Fair point. . I could, of course, be wrong.

Wouldn't it fall into the category of cabotage by carrying fare paying passengers from two locations within Europe?
