Spotting in Hong Kong

Recommended Posts

Is there a story behind the 'Air Japan' title on ANA's JA616A ?

 

Air Japan is the charter arm of ANA. So believe this is a scheduled (?) charter flight to HKG? Uses ANA codes and call sign apparently~!

 

My bro is a regular on Air Japan's flight between NRT-HKG.

Actually if I'm not wrong most ANA planes have the title "Air Japan" on the fuselage

 

Not really. Air Japan's fleet comprised of 30x 767-300ERs only. All of which has the same colour as ANA.

I see......so the ANA planes having Air Japan titles also operate as normal ANA flights n only used for charter when the need arises...Am I correct ?

Like our spotter Kevin Teh said: "Triple Seven is a MAN!"

No idea actually, they fly to some scheduled destinations of ANA (mostly Asia), using the same call sign of ANA except for ICN and SIN. In both ICN and SIN they use their own Air Japan call sign.

 

They also have a handful of B767-300F's and B767-300BCF's.

Latest event in HKG - 07 Apr 2013, KLIA used to have the same accident before a few years ago, however I could not recall the gate number (may be C34....???)

very nice Sneeze........I didn't know there is a association for aviation photographers in HK.......wish Malaysia had one too

 

Thanks Raymond

Our association is found since 01 Aug, 2012, still very green in the aviation field, but we have some experienced spotters who spot from the era of Kai Tak.

Please feel free to visit our website and the facebook fan page.
