Yesterday, when I check the Changi Airport Website. One of the flight was TO641 from Phnom Penh & AIB101 from Toulouse, seldom to be seen in Singapore, they are cargo planes.

There is also TH325 & TH326 from Kuala Lumpur, RH flights from Jakarta (eg. RH820) and even Y8 flights from Nanning (Y8 7973 & Y8 7974)

If you see the Teletext for NW5 & CO5875 for arrivals or NW6 & CO5876 for departures, it shows blank destination, actually, it arrives or departs at [b]Portland.

TO: President Airlines, Cambodia
AIB: Airbus Industries, France
TH: Transmile Air Services, Malaysia
RH: Republic Airlines, Indonesia
Y8: Yangtze River Express, China

Is it that NW5/CO5875 (--->SIN) and NW6/CO5876(--->Portland) are passenger codeshare flights?

Typically win xp pros are far better than the home edition.

who got see A380 toaday? Nice huh Mr. Green

Apex-LW'21 SG

They are codeshare flights. For this two flights, they are under NORTHWEST Airlines, with codeshare between Continental Airlines.

Apex-LW'21 SG

NW5/CO5875 & NW6/CO5876 are scheduled flights for passengers, while TH, TO, AIB, Y8 & RH are cargo/freighter flights.

Codeshare freighter flights unlike SQ7835/JL6693 from Osaka-Kansai.

VF32 is from S'pore (Seletar Airport), SAF8519 for Army Training & even PMT flights. (PMT: Progress Multitrade, IATA Code: U4)

Do you mean FINNAIR as Finnish Airline? I know it operates from SG to BKK because the flight has a stopover in Singapore and in transit to Bangkok. Smile

Another transit cargo flight is JAL Airlines, flight JL6669 from Tokyo-Narita, stopover in Singapore and arrives at Kuala Lumpur. Once, LD096 goes to Batam.

Delayed flights marked with a D, (eg Y8 7974D), had been re-timed and depart later.

On 12 Nov, NW908 will be going to ILN via Bangkok & Tokyo-Narita, as well as AIB102 to Sydney. (ILN: Wilmington, Airborne Airpark Airport)

GY19 & GY31 from Jakarta-Halim & IMT326 from Phnom Penh are the unknown codes to some people.
(GY: Tri-MG Intra Asia Airlines PT, IMT: Imtrec Aviation)

There is also special flights with codes like SWORDFISHZ5, TRUMPETZ5, SUPREMEZ5, SPIDERZ5, CONDORZ5, etc, as well as training flights (eg. TN44), Test Flights (eg. 9VSPB) & Air Test by FedEx (eg. FX9417).

I think KA9228 is from Hong Kong to Singapore, am I right? If I'm not wrong, it is a cargo flight. (Dragonair (KA) mainly serves China & Hong Kong and cargo flights mainly for example to New York-JFK or Amsterdam)

SBS9818A SG

Must have been a very very unique cargo plane because it is configured for PASSENGERS...

Apex-LW'21 SG

AIB102 will be flying to Sydney. I think it is an Airbus A380, since AIB is Airbus Industries from France.

For freighter planes like DHL or passenger planes like KLM, most people don't know the abbrievations of this two company, DHL stands for Dalsey, Hillblom & Lynn, formed in 1969 and the founders' last initials form the company name. KLM stands for Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij [Royal Dutch Airlines].

SBS9818A SG

Interesting. I didn't know Brisbane is the same geographically as Sydney.

Apex-LW'21 SG

The new Airbus A380 could be exhibiting at Changi Airport before taking off. Smile
Sydney & Brisbane is in Australia. Sydney is under NSW, Brisbane is under Queensland. (NSW: New South Wales)

SBS9818A SG

Apex, I know all these. I think you really need to read Channel NewsAsia online or something.

Apex-LW'21 SG

Ok. Thanks, it is FYI only. Smile

Its quite strange that Douglas DC planes are still operating in SG, and also on
Finnair OYJ.. Rolling Eyes

btw, about Charter Flights, what makes them so special? who does the arrangements? i know last year, there was a charter flight to Inner Mongolia, and this few weeks, got another to Hokkaido.

Mcdonnell Douglas MD11 (not DC-3), my mistake

Image is taken from ZUJI! website.

MB11? Mercedes Benz 11? Wooohooooo :-)

Anyway, Finnair's MD11s vary in age so unless you specify a particular aircraft. I believe Finnair operates the world's first MD11 in the form of OH-LGA.

I like to correct some misconceptions here.

1. "D" does not (always) mean diverted. It usually stands for "delay". However, other airlines have used different characters such as "A" or "B". The usage of this additional alphabet arises from the need to differentiate the previous day's delayed flight from the current day's flight. For example, if SQ1 is delayed on 1/1/05 to 2/1/05, then you would have 2 flights performing the SQ1 routing. Hence, the delayed flight will use SQ1D, while the actual day flight will use SQ1.

2. NW9xx are cargo flights using B747F aircraft.

3. SWORDFISHZ5, TRUMPETZ5 are usually used to identify military traffic using Changi's runways.

4. KA does not operate any scheduled flights (cargo or pax) to Singapore. They are here usually for maintenance since KA purchased (and converted) some of SIA's old B747-300s.

You mentioned that AIB102 will go to both Toulouse and Sydney? In actual fact, it is going to Brisbane. Pls check carefully before you post... You are contradicting yourself in all your posts. Also, AIB101 is the airbus A380 to SIngapore from Toulouse, not a cargo flight.

Apex-LW'21 SG

AIB102 goes to Sydney, post corrected. (I checked the info from Teletext) Wink

Apex-LW'21 SG

There is also UPS flights to Taipei.
UPS192 Taipei to Singapore
UPS167 Singapore to Taipei

There is also SHJ001 from Sharjah. (Sharjah Ruler's Royal Flight) as well as Phnom Penh to Singapore, TO661.

UM771 goes from Beijing Singapore Harare.

Apex-LW'21 SG

PRIJCL92 arrived in Hong Kong from Osaka-Kansai, it is a Private Flight! Codes like PHPHS or PKKDK are considered PRIVATE flights.

I believe SQ12 stops over at Tokyo-Narita before in transit to San Francisco. Last year, during my trip at Tokyo-Narita, I saw SQ12. Rolling Eyes
