Air Lingus or USA 3000

UALsprtofSEA2 · 05-26-2002, 02:01 AM

I was out at ORD watching some landings and saw a few things for the first time. I saw a A320 from USA 3000 and was wondering if anyone has any information on this carrier?

Second is a carrier that always flies into ORD, but not with this aircarft. As I was driving away from ORD along a flight path I looked up to see a Air Lingus 737 on final approach. Air Lingus always has flown A330's into ORD. So, as you would think this was a real shock to me. PLEASE if anyone here could help with info on this I would really appreciate it. I really don't think a 737 could fly from Ireland to ORD without stopping.

Could a 737-NG fly to Ireland from JFK?

tech77jp · 05-27-2002, 11:12 AM

All 737NG variants can fly from JFK to Shannon, and all except the 737-900 can fly from JFK to Dublin.

JFK to DUB: 5111 km
JFK to SNN: 4955 km

737-600: 5649 km
737-700: 6038 km
737-800: 5449 km
737-900: 5084 km

Yeap that's Apple Vacations, you can hardly see the titles of blue on the green background. That aircraft diverted to MIA last month with a mechanical, it spent about three days here while they worked on the tail. It's operated by Ryan International if I'm not mistaken.

Actually, only the 737-700 can make it JFK-SNN, and this is marginal at best. The strong winds over the North Atlantic make the westbound segment extremely tough on the 737. A 738 into the wind can do maybe 2600-2700 miles, much less than the 3080 miles needed for JFK-SNN.

The founder and former CEO of Canada 3000 Angus Kinnear helped form USA 3000 and is now their CEO.
