Good-bye Hello...

Looks like another airline that used to come to Madeira (in the last few months) was shut...

According to the public release, it will be a temporary stop of flight operations...(but unfortunatelly we know what this probably means...)
Check the public release HERE

Managed to get their planes a couple of times.
Once, back in 2007, still with the nice MD-90...

HB-JIC landing on runway 23

More recently, already equiped with the Airbus A320, they started a weekly operation to Madeira.
Unfortunatelly, the time of the day wasn't the best to me...only managed to photograph it once...
(and now these pics are worth gold, to me....)

HB-JIW landing on runway 05

all the best for the employees of Hello...

Hello Alice (and all the others...)

Yesterday finally got Hello in Airbus A320...

Usually comes right after lunch but yesterday, due to the ATC strike, it came later on the afternoon...and so did a few more...

The good thing about this strike, for the spotters is that when the planes come, they come a few in a row...
Too bad the weather was quite crappy...

HB-JIW

Unexpected for me was Alice in Wonderland, from Thomas Cook Belgium (OO-TCN)

Smoke on for D-ABOI...get them, before they're all (B753) replaced by the Airbus A321...

CS-TNV from TAP, the homeland's airline

Another unexpected arrival... CS-DDV

Good-bye to the Hello...now using runway 23
