MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
A new month so, as is customary, time for a quick look back at the previous one. November started well enough with 15 newcomers in the first week, but this dwindled to a mere three in the last one (& two of those were yesterday). Despite such a poor end to the month we still netted 47 newcomers, only three down on November 2011's total of 50. This figure broke down 32 airliners, 13 biz jets & a single helicopter & twin.
From our scheduled airlines, we saw a new EasyJet A320 & a reregistered EasyJet Switzerland A319 & A320, the remaining three Air Arabia Maroc A320s, two Air Berlin A320s, four Aegean A320s & three of their A321s, a THY A320, A321 & B738, Air China A332 & a US A/W example, the latest Norwegian Air Shuttle B738, an Icelandair B752, Korean Air B772, Belavia's second E175 & a Flybe one. Other airlines provided a Tunisair A320, Enter Air B734, Swiss B463, E190s from Lufthansa Regional & BA Cityflyer, a Denim Air F50 & one executive machine in the shape a VistaJet CRJ8.
On the biz jet front, the more interesting ones were Citation 550 TC-MKA, Falcon 2000LX I-UCBT, Lear 45 4O-MNE & Premier I-AFOI, while the helicopter was a UK registered Dauphin & the twin a German Cessna 421.
