Identify that airline and the three models of wide body equipment that it operates on the DUS-LHR route.

Air Canada. 767, L-1011 and 747.

Correct! Air Canada actually operated at varying times of the week the following aircraft types in this route (per OAG terminology) L10 L15 747 74M and 767

35. When this airline commenced service to the U.S., it named the three aircraft it had purchased to serve the route (as well as other long distance routes, I’m sure) the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María after the boats used by Columbus on his famous voyage to the New World. Identify the airline and the aircraft type so named.

This one turned out to be easy to Google.

Many of these answers are. Hopefully participants will rely on their best guesses as simply looking the answer up is not only really simple but reduces the whole exercise to little more entertaining than a game of toss and catch with a beachball.

That said, the airline we're looking for was one that commenced service TO the U.S. rather than from - i.e. a foreign carrier. Please, do guess again!
