this is a nasty airport, iinstrinsically dangeous because of the rediculous landing coming down the hill, and the less nasty landing made over the fence, landing toward the hill. That these types of bad landings occur mostly to itennerate aircraft, not the airliners making daily flights in and out, may suggest bull dozing the hill would be welcome and smart, and lengthing the runway a good thought too.

for those who thought 747 were becoming scarce for passengers, kindly look at the flights between heathrow and JFK, and notice the 747 shuttle. Yes, there is the odd 777 segment, but 747 is the dominant machine here.

A bystander sustained permanent injuries and lost some quality of life, therefore a two year sentence seems inadequate. Five years of sentence is available and on the books, and even that seems light .

this seems to be an example of three trying to go where only two can fit.

this was not reported because there are more than just a few similar instances lately . although boeing and the engine manufacturer know about these things. The prematurely malfunctions in engines have removed the letters ETOPS from the really great marketing factors for 787 salesman, and i would like to be a fly on the wall when the boards of aircraft leasing companies get together.

perhaps the airline can every few hours put an exercise video designed to overcome the potential dangerous aspects of this length of flight.

that is an outrageous number of seats, except japanese people are generally smaller than westerners, and if that statement can be accepted as non-racist, that would be nice.

perhaps the seats in this prison aircraft ought to be more comfortable than usual, for there will be less connecting flights due to the exceptional range.

more spirit airliners flying anywhere is a bad idea, since this ultra LCC has more than its share of detractors. And rightfully so. This would be bad service using a smaller aircraft. Where are the potential pilots to do this second level service?

Boeing is protective of their new-built 777 freighters, thus a price for conversion is offered that does not make sense to do, from an airline's point of view. NO worries- there are several other companies capable of the work, with no concern over the price of new freighers, rather just looking to capture some of this work, most certainly less than Boeing wants to charge.
