"up,up and away?": September 2018

All about air travel. I have been fascinated by all things to do with airlines since I was 7 years old. So why not have a blog about air travel? It is one of my greatest interests in life. Photo of me at JFK Airport 1983 after our Pan Am 747 flight from JNB next stop Disneyland on ?

fly bee! Two beekeepers were called into remove a swarm of bees that had started building a nest in the engine of one of our aircrafts in Durban on Sunday. This unfortunately meant delays on three of our scheduled flights. The bees were safely removed.
