VISITORS
Having only arrived at Oslo on delivery from Boeing Field yesterday, Norwegian Air Shuttle B738 LN-NGG (39018) wasted no time coming to see us, arriving on the lunchtime service from Oslo.
Making its second visit today was Falcon 2000LX HB-JKL.

FLEET NEWS
Air Baltic has converted a tentative agreement for ten CS300s into a firm order, with purchase rights for ten more. Deliveries are due to start in 4Q15.
Lufthansa A321 D-AIDV (5413) was delivered from Finkenwerder to Frankfurt today (retro scheme).

ROUTE NEWS
None today.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Trying to avoid Ryanair's baggage charges?
"A man took to putting on 70 items of clothing to avoid an extra baggage charge at an airport. The unidentified passenger turned up at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in China, described as looking like a 'sumo wrestler'.
According to Guangzhou Daily, the man's luggage exceeded the weight limit. He did not want to pay the extra baggage costs, and thus took out and wore more than 60 shirts and nine pairs of jeans. Wanting to board a flight to Nairobi, Kenya, he was stopped by the metal detector and had to undergo a full body search. In his numerous pockets were batteries, thumb drives and device chargers".
