VISITORS
Air China A332 B-6070 (750) was an early newcomer this morning on the service from Beijing. This is the 22nd example to visit us, with just B-6071, 6072 & 6081 missing at the moment, though four more are due for delivery next year & a further one in 2014. Also on a first visit was THY B738 TC-JHN (40981) on the morning run from Istanbul/Ataturk.
Making just its second visit was Falcon 2000 I-SEAE (its first was way back on 01/11/05). All four of the Falcons belonging to Servizi Aerei SpA have now visited during the last couple of months as follows:
I-SEAE DA2000 (200) 14/11
I-SEAR DA900EX (183) 19/9, 21/9, 28/9, 03/10, 24/10, 26/10, 2/11
I-SEAS DA900EX (192) 26/09, 5/10, 17/10, 9/11
I-SNAW DA2000 (12) 7/11
Purely out of idle curiosity, does anyone know why these visits have been so frequent?
