Besides Vietnam Airlines and iFly, Vienna is in recent weeks frequently visited by Juneyao Airlines B787-9s on cargo flights. With this B-1115 I finally completed my collection of all three colour scheme variants.
This DC-3 of Atlantic Air Cargo is a familiar sight in Opa Locka and I already photographed her 10 years ago, however to see a flying DC-3 in normal traffic is rare today. Together with others operates mainly with cargo to/from Bahamas..
Beginning with the 7th aircraft in Malta Air fleet (from the letter G up) the B737-8 MAX 200 aircraft unfortunately started to get classic Ryanair colours. So sometimes both versions of colour scheme meet at the same time at Bratislava on flights from Milan-Bergamo and Bologna.
Yesterday and today this CRJ-200 already in new colours of Global Reach Aviation / Copenhagen Air Taxi showed at Bratislava to transport passengers to/from Frankfurt.
Etihad Airways showed on 02 January 2022 at Vienna its B787-9 promoting Formula 1 Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi this year. I already photographed the same aircraft previously in Madrid and Dublin with promotion for the year 2020...
Pleasure at Vienna already on the second day of 2022: Royal Air Maroc sent the Boeing 787-8 in new colours and with oneworld logo on a cargo flight to Vienna.
At the end of 2021 I was finally able, after 21 months, to travel outside of Europe, although corona still complicated the whole spotting trip. One of the highlights of this very successful trip was this Convair C-131F Samaritan (military version of CV-340) of Conquest Air Cargo, operating with cargo from Opa Locka to the Caribbean.
After a month long storage at Ljubljana, this A320, which previously operated for IndiGo as VT-IKI, arrived today to Bratislava, probably for repainting.
Vietnam Airlines transports already for a while cargo to Vienna, after their standard B787-9, B787-10 and A350-900s today the Airbus with SkyTeam livery visited the city.
Civil flights arriving from Iraq have to undergo an additional security check in one of the EU member states before their arrival to the UK. Because Iraqi Airways uses Bratislava already for a longer time on their scheduled flights, this government operated Boeing 737-800 landed at Bratislava today for this purpose, on its way from Baghdad to London-Stansted.
One-day visit to Luxembourg did not help and it has visited Vienna always in the dark, in bad weather or landed on wrong runway, finally today I managed to get the "covid" B747-8F of Cargolux.
Football players of Lincoln Red Imps from Gibraltar arrived for match with Slovan Bratislava in the UEFA European Conference League with B737-800 of AlbaStar.
The "newest" arrival into the fleet of Polish airline SkyTaxi, which retained its DHL colours after previous use in Bahrain, started to serve for DHL from Leipzig and this week operates flights to Bratislava.
The 5th World Conference of Speakers of Parliament took place in Vienna between 6 and 8 September 2021. Besides this Kuwaiti BBJ3 also IL-96-300 of Rossiya, B787-9 of Vietnam Airlines, A319CJ of Azerbaijan Government, A320CJ of Kazakhstan Government and plenty of smaller bizjets showed up.
As often as the name of its capital changes also the title on government aircraft of Kazakhstan. After "Kazakhstan" and "Kazakstan" versions is now the "Qazaqstan" modification the popular one, as shown on this A320CJ which brought Kazakh parliament delgation to Vienna.
