I think it will be Zurich to New York. teahan Dec 20, 02, 12:48 pm It was confirmed on the Swissair Group that the first A340-300 destination would be Dubai.

I know for a fact that SR folks visited LAX taking measurements down to "inches", trying ot figure out how to pull that bird to the gates at Bradley Intl. Curiously, AFTER they had already order this long-tailer. airoli Dec 23, 02, 2:34 pm cesco, while Swissair did indeed order the A340-600, SWISS has only bought the A340-300, a plane in use with many other carriers already. I think every large airport can handle the A343. ------------------ airOli (http://www.olimade.com/airoli), the Swiss Air Line. ;) |
