and so China Airlines safety record continues. For an airline their size they don't half have a lot of incidents. Just glad nobody was seriously hurt this time.

These stories keep reaching us of aircraft finding their way to Iran illegally. Seems its the large aircraft at the moment although MD-80s seem to also be quite popular.

Close but no cigar, it was a Helvetic Fokker raid. Clearly very boldly planned and well executed. Lets just hope that the people involved get caught soon.

My understanding was that LH planned to move A340-600s from its current fleet once more B747-800I's were delivered. These were meant to replace the A343 at Swiss. Maybe the plan changed.
