Ukraine International, EI-DGM (ex LX-LGG) in Luxembourg

On 15th February 2007 a Ukraine International Boeing 737-400 arrived in Luxembourg for a maintenance check. The Boeing was sold in 1999 to Luxair as LX-LGG. In 2004 the plane was sold to Blue Panorama Airlines as EI-DGM. As of now the plane is still wearing the Blue Panorama registration with Ukraine International Colors. New Ukrainian Registration should become UR-GAV.

Evergreen International’s newest aircraft

On 19th February, N489EV, a Boeing 747-230B, operated a Cargo Charter to Luxembourg. The latest addition to the Evergreen fleet was sold by Air Atlanta (TF-AMH) in January 2006. From 1986 to 2005 the Boeing was flying for Lufthansa as D-ABZC, then sold to Air Atlanta.

EU considers ELLX as secure again

Losing time for additional security controls for Luxembourgish passengers is over. At the beginning of February 2007 security controls at Luxembourg Airport were tested again by the European Commission and the result was finally positive. Since December last year, when landing at Munich, Luxair passengers had to leave the aircraft for further security controls. In addition airport police got 11 new personnel on 20. september 2006. This year 14 will follow. Customs will get 12 more personnel.

The First Spotter Picture (Part 1)

On the following pages you’ll find photos of Luxemburgish, Belgium and French Spotter’s. In fact these are the first (or one of the first) picture of an aircraft taken by the photographers at Luxembourg Airport. It is quite interesting to see when and what aircraft was photographed for the first time. Dates range from 1988 to 2006. Enjoy!
