Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 Guys, As promised in my highlights section, please, find below some photographic impressions of PMI on the Ballearic Island of Mallorca. Some points of interest: - Most pictures were taken of aircraft taking-off from 24R, some 1 kilometer away. - Most pictures were taken with max 400mm: had to take these shots thru a fence of the parking-garage. - Weather was very windy with gusts up to 30 knots - Comments welcome; all shots are not edited Iberworld A320 in a white colour-scheme, probably for lease-out to Martinair this summer (normal tail colour is dark-blue). Spanair Mad-Dog; the company is headquartered at PMI and is a Star-Alliance member. AirEuropa is another spanish carrier and will become associate-member of SkyTeam shortly. Mallorca is extremely popular among the German holidaymakers; here a Condor/Thomas Cook A320. 2 more -800's of UX: why the 1st one has "faded" colours, is unknown to me Air Nostrum/IB regional is operating ATR72 and DH8-300 regional flights between the Islands and mainland. Was lucky to see this rare 717; although sporting SpanairLink titles, it's owned by Aerbal. UX operates this nice "Disney" 737-800 also LTU was at PMI with 4 A320's at a certain moment; I was able to catch these 2 football ones: "Bayer04 Leverkussen" and "Borussia MoenchenGladbach" Niki is the airline of Niki Lauda, the former F1 driver, and has a close-cooperation with Air-Berlin. Here an A321 with a nice reflection of the tail colours in the terminal window. Air-Berlin is operating a hub at PMI, connecting German/Dutch flights with Spanish/Portuguese destinations. one tail is a 320 tail: which one ? Rest of the pictures will be at a different topic, as a "photographic trip-report" of my flight on AB between PMI and AMS... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azman MN 1 Report post Posted March 13, 2006 Good pics Pieter, even more impressive considering you were so far away. Yeah, Niki flies as Air Berlin on some routes. If you book a flight on Air Berlin, you may end up flying Niki instead. My wife flew Niki last year ZRH-VIE-ZRH and said that she was very impressed. She even brought one sandwich out for me (free) and it was quite good, definitely better than Swiss. Next time I have to teach her how to write trip reports and take Ah Moi pics as well.
