Merry Christmas

This is a Christmas message from Aircraft Aviation in Europe.

Today is Christmas Day 2014 I like to say thank you very much for viewing my blog, watching my YouTube videos and sharing my aviation photography on Facebook. This year has been fantastic of my travel movement I went couple of new European Countries I visited other than Malta I went to Republic of Ireland and The Netherlands twice. When 2015 arrives if you notice I am going to the United States that will be my best year to visit non-European destination from the history of Aircraft Aviation of Europe. There will be no other European countries to visit next year so I will be returning to Malta next week & March to re-new my travel documents.

There is nothing for me to say right now hope you'll have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year of 2015.

Merry Christmas!

What happen to Continental Airlines?

Continental Airlines founded in 1934 was American airline based from Houston, Texas. Continental had 2 other airliners for flights with-in the United States called Continental Connection and Continental Express which they were use for domestic & connecting flights in it's code-share agreement.

In March 3rd 2012 Continental starting to merged with UAL Corporation meaning it's now with United Airlines along with other Continental companies merged along now with United Express. That also means when it Continental was merged United Airlines introduced more jobs, new destinations domestic & international and fleets like the recen't Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

United Airlines N17133 Boeing 757-200 new to Continental Airlines 1998 in Dublin, Republic of Ireland 7th February 2014

With the fleet & livery with United Airlines they are completely the same & some fleets are also from Continental like this one N17133 was new & delivered to Continental in 1998 this was one of the later Boeing 757-200 that has 2 emergency exit each side of the wing. 

United Airlines N661UA Boeing 767-300ER new to United Airlines in 1992 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands 21st July 2014.

But some aircraft were new to United Airlines before painting in 2010-present livery for example N661UA in Amsterdam, The Netherlands is a Boeing 767-300ER new to United Airlines in 1992: some United Airlines still have livery from 1998 but it sounds like most 767's are in current livery. If you live near major European airports I think you can still get some shots of United 90's livery in either Dublin, London Heathrow, Paris and Frankfurt. 

Introducing Flybe's new livery!

Flybe G-JEDP Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 new to Flybe in 2004 seen in Southampton, UK 20th July 2014.

Roughly 9 months ago Flybe has introduced a brand livery to a British airliner from Devon, United Kingdom Flybe in purple colour. G-JECY named Spirited of Liberum is the first aircraft Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 in new Flybe colours & still no news yet when Embrear E-175 & E-195 I hope all Flybe's fleet will be in new purple livery my first shot of Flybe's new colour G-JEDP in Southampton, United Kingdom 4 months ago. 

Flybe G-ECDH Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 new to Flybe in 2008 seen in Amsterdam, The Netherlands taken 22nd July 2104.

As I went spotting in The Netherlands I see another new Flybe livery just arriving from unknown British Airport I can't remember. G-ECDH is another Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 new to Flybe in 2008 taxing to the gate. I don't have any more review of Flybe's new livery all I have to say it looks beautiful just can't wait we see Embrear in 2015.
