Fuel Crisis

Would there be delays of a stand still in flights travelling to and from CMB due to the fuel shortage in the country? Please andswer the query promptly.

Thank you.

Can anyone verify?

I can make out what might be a landing strip beside the pond, but it's extremely small -- it wouldn't work for anything but an ultralight, at best.

re: not possible this airport would be international

"International" is a bit of a misleading term. All you need to be an Airport of Entry (AoE) is to have customs services available. In Canada, we have grass strips and even water aerodromes that you could call "international."

re: Does it really exist?

It's in a lot of older databases. Marked as closed, assuming that it went out of service and was built over. If anyone has more information, please let us know.

re: updated photos and images of lungi international airport

Thanks for your comment. We rely on Google Maps for our satellite imagery, and on FlightStats.com for arrival and departure information, so unfortunately, we're unable to present better information until they make it available.

Sugar Glider SCAM!!!

$195 for sugar gliders being flown Internationally sounded too good to be true. The email is: karine50088@hotmail.com and the message to me is as follows:

Thank you for your email and the interest in the Sugar Glider. I have a uniquely colored sugar glider Cremino female for adoption. She is available now to go to a new home!. She is called Bella, she is 22 weeks and 4 days old, I have sent her picture in this email for you to view.

She is my treasured pet. I spend many hours each day with her; consequently, She is tame. Although I love her very much but i need to send her out as a result of my work, i spend too much time at work and i have no time to look after her. This is a difficult decision for me to come to, but I feel very strongly that there are too many good homes out there where the glider will have the attention she needs.

The Sugar Glider is Registered, Healthy, current on immunization and Vet Checked. She is socialized, good with kids and other pets. I raised her from birth.

I am in need of a home for the sugar glider where she can be treated with lots of love, care and attention.

I recently moved from Miami, FL for a new job. I am presently located in Douala-Cameroon. I am working here as an English Language Coordinator. I am a volunteering for this service. I love helping mankind because i believe with all my achievements in life, this is the time for me give thanks to God by serving others. I am here with the Sugar Glider.

I brought her here by Air and I will use same means to send her to you if you decide to adopt them. The Shipping is completely safe for the Sugar Glider. I will send the Sugar Glider from the Douala International Airport, Cameroon and you are going to pick her up from the closest international airport. Your full names, address and the airport for pick up will be required for the flight arrangements. The full flight information will be sent to you when the flight arrangement is made.

To adopt her will require an adoption fee of $195. This money will cover her adoption and flight expenses.

I provide her with a shipping kennel, veterinarian health checks, insurance, and heat pack (if needed). Plus my guarantee: I do guarantee you will receive healthy baby sugar glider. From the time you take possession of your new sugar glider, there is a 72 hour "watch" period. If anything - and we mean anything - seems out of sorts based on our discussions and information I have provided, simply contact me. As long as we are working together to resolve the problem, this guarantee period will be extended indefinitely, until the problem is resolved.

I will assist you with all arrangement and until you receive the Sugar Glider.

Please Feel free to ask any question if there is anything else you need to know.

Thanks for contacting me and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

re: Close to Edmonton and price of fuel

I hope that good things do come of the change and maybe some upgrades, I have heard that they have increased prices on aircraft parking (almost double) and that a couple of aircraft may have left already. I am not currently in province so am not using this airport, but would love to see it thrive especially in light of YXD fore coming closure (my anger on this is a different matter) and the things I have read about ZVL. It would be nice now that the lake is receding if some land could be reclaimed and the runway and the taxiway extended. I know Cooking Lake Aviation has/had a legal GPS approach, but believe it is restricted, if the condo board could get that for general access.... Some Jet A1 would be good as I have seen a couple of turbines operate out of there.

re: amravati airport..

yes the work on amravati airport is very slow and government is not concerned/bothered about the progress of the work at amravati airport that's why it's not yet completed in around 3 years after getting approval from the maharastra government.it's one of the major cities in maharastra and 2nd biggest and important city in vidharbha where Nagpur the 1st biggest city in vidharbha and the most important city in vidharbha in maharastra. vidhrbha is not developed as western maharastra is being and been developed from so many years.need to take care of developement of vidhrbha, we don't need belgaon from karnataka as we in maharastra are not yet developed by maharastra government.Jai vidhrbha,Jai Telangana.thanks

denied exit by immigration

it is with pain that i'm writing this story. my niece was to board her first flight in her life, to come and stay with us for a month. but unfortunately she was denied exit from the country as if she was a criminal or worst.

so many personal questions were asked, beyond the limits of personal privacy, and despite having all papers in order, she had to go back home. now what happened to the good all democracy and freedom in the Philippines? is it becoming a privilege of few political actors or what. or if this is the way to go, why the Immigration check is not performed at the Travel agency where you purchase your tickets. who is going to refund the money spent (and lost) for this procedure? does anybody cares. Is anybody at the BI considering giving a receipt showing exactly the reasons for stopping people, or is it done on purpose to allow the duty immigration officer to "control" the situation? Does the BI having an agreement with the airlines that will allow full reimbursement of the ticket to the passengers in cases such the one of my niece? of course not...who cares. my niece is just above 30 and surely not victim of "illegal trafficking" nor, illegal employment, neither having a court ruling against her. and where is the right to ignore the "visa " stamped on her passport and released by a foreign embassy. does the BI believes other countries will allow people in so easy? Or Bi believes everybody is corrupted? should we go deeper into that issue? please meditate, it might happen to you as well, immigration officers included.

re: arrival time of an international flight from Paris

Dear Anonymous flyer;

We are sorry that the information you were seeking was not as accurate as you desired. We will strive harder in the future to ensure your experience here is a delightful one. We are sorry that we could not meet your needs, even though washing your hog is not something we normally offer. Perhaps next time you require such as service, you will use a search website to find the proper service providers and not a website that has nothing to do with swine cleaning. Also, you might want to look at the entire page you were complaining about and notice at the bottom this sentence: "Flight information is provided by FlightStats, and is subject to the FlightStats Terms of Use." That might be a good spot to take your complaint.

Sincerely sarcastic,

Not-the-management.

re: amravati airport..

it's more than 3 years for the approval of maharastra government to develope a full fledged domestic airport in amravati city till now only the land acquisition is started when they will start developing the airport. it's more than 5-6 years for amravati sez only 2-3 companies have come to the sez as government and midc is not doing enough to bring the companies to amravati vidhrbha which is lacking industries.

why no flights to Guna ?

There are no flights coming/going from Guna as the city population have to travel down to Bhopal to catch a flight. Why the airlines is not tapping the purchasing power and making profit out of this area. it is a time consuming travel from Guna to Bhopal which takes around 5 hours of travel by rail/road.

Comments from anonymous flyer

Firstly, the grammar and vocab shows what, not who, these comments are coming from.

Secondly, I have not seen any locks on our borders preventing this person from leaving and going to a country where everything is to its liking. Maybe it has not realized that it has a choice or maybe the logic is a bit too complex. I know this is really a stretch in tems of comprehension but where does this sense of entitlement come from? Maybe too much time spent with the striking mine and transport workers?

re: amravati airport..

Amravati airport:- Regarding Amravati airport, Govt. of Maharashtra has approved the proposal for developing this airport in the month of February 2009. MADC is in the process of appointing consultant for planning, designing and development of this airport. The land acquisition shall be started after the consultant gives proper report about the site and orientation of Runway. it's there on the site from 2009.

shame on the process of delaying the work in vidharbha.

Flying out of Stoney Creek

Hi,

I live close and am currently in the process of acquiring a Challenger XL-65 Ultralight. I am looking for a place to keep it, hanger if possible (1/2 maybe), tie down otherwise but I expect I will keep it at my cottage in Honey Harbor half (or more) of the time.

Seems I JUST missed the EAA 65 meeting this month :(. Should I just drop by? Is there someone I can talk to?

Thanks

SUccessful :D

Isa ako sa mga nagpost dito last time. and now Im already here in HK. My bf and I went to the immigration counter together. I chose a young IO . the one that is cute and charming. They are the two boys on the left side of the counter. Here are the questions asked:

1) magka-ano ano kayo? (What is your relationship with each other?)

--- BF ko po sya.(He's my Boyfriend)

2) Alam ba ng parents nyo yan at ilang taon na ba kayo?(Did your parents know about this trip and how old are you?)

---Oo naman po, we're both 22.(Oh yes, we're both 22)

3) nagpa-book ba kayo ng hotel? (Do you have hotel accomodation/confirmation?)

---Yes(I presented our hotel confirmation)

4) Ano mga work nyo dito? (What are your jobs here?)

---BF: Ako po Key Entry(I am a Key entry clerk in UPS)

---me: I am an ESL Teacher for Kurikongs po then I laughed hahaha!

After that some unnecessary but funny questions. It's like we had a good conversation on the immigration officer, he was laughing about my jokes. It was a smooth encounter all in all. Thank God.

TIPS:

dress smart

greet them goodmorning/good afternoon

smile a lot :)
