well just to clear your doubts vivekman Etihad operates the A340-500
to mumbai on a regular basis irrespective of the open skies policies

etihad operates two day flights to mumbai ie on monday and friday iee arrive mumbai in the afternoon and leave in the evening this one is operated by B767-300ER

as in THE REGULAR SCHEDULES ARE

EY 205 AUH - BOM 1205 1630 / EY 206 1805 1955 (MON) B767-300ER
1915 2105 (FRI)

EY 207 AUH - BOM 0305 0730 / EY 208 0855 1045 (MON , THU ,SAT,SUN) A340-500

CURRENTLY UNDER THE OPEN SKIES POLICY etihad has two more additional flights

EY 2207 AUH - BOM 0135 0600 / EY 2208 0750 0940 (TUE)
0305 0730 0845 1035 (WED)

Both these flights operated by A340-500 as well

Regarding emirates they operate likewise

EK 500 DXB - BOM 2230 0255+1 / EK 501 BOM - DXB 0415 0600 (DAILY)

EK 502 DXB - BOM 1330 1745 / EK 503 BOM - DXB 1900 2045 (DAILY)

EK 504 DXB - BOM 0400 0815 / EK 505 BOM - DXB 0945 1115

5 times a week

all these flights operate A330-243 (3 class configuration)

now considering the open skies policies going on till jan 31
EK is operating 3 X daily nearly mostly By B777-300ER

but some flights by B777-200 And a few by A330-200 as well

so you mustve seen EK 504/505

oh sorry for got to mention the schedule which operates A340-500 now which i mentioned was operated by A330-200 till oct 25 th from oct 26 2006 they are operating A340-500 and will continue with that

btw Etihad A340-500 has a capacity of 240
A330-200 225
B767-300 196

so probably these aircrafts have the right number of seats for which the GOI has given right to etihad

Eithad operates the A345?!! this i gotta see... coz i have often seen their A332s but not the A345s..

Love the ride in the front (Nose ) of the B747-400s. Remember a trip on a Air India 747-400 (Velha Goa) from Delhi to Mumbai.
As reported, a smooth trip,but after landing, the plane nosewheel made some real screeches, and I got the feeling that the pilots were driving a race car in a parking lot instead of a 747... I guess it must be the familiar back-of-the-yard feeling after arriving at Mumbai. Wink

Were those Screeches more of a Rubber sound or Metal Smile

Most likely the pilot had had enough of flying around and wanted to be in hot bath and bed ASAP.
I mean, he literally "drove" along the taxiway...none of the steady smooth manuever that you'd associate with a levathian 747).

Taxiing at High speed Overheats the Wheels & Brakes obviously if used.limit speed to 10kts.
