Comment / Rossiya Airlines was formed in 2006 as a result of a merger between Pulkovo Airlines and the Russia State Transport Company, and is wholly owned by the Russian government. Rossiya operates a variety of scheduled and charter services, as well as operating VIP flights on behalf of the Russian state. The carrier has a growing fleet, including this single Boeing 767-300. EI-DZH was delivered in March 2008, joining from Skymark Airlines of Japan with whom it was registered JA767C.

Comment / This Boeing 767-300 has not been with Transaero Airlines long. She joined the fleet just two months ago, having flown with Gulf Air and Gulf Traveller as A4O-GS since delivery in 1992.

Comment / It's UEFA Cup Final day at Manchester, and as G-BNWC approaches runway 05L at 0556 inbound from JFK, there are already tens of photographers lining up on the south side! Sadly, it was recently announced that BA's Manchester to New York JFK service - it's last remaining route outside of London - will end at the close of this year's summer season.
