Transaero

After a few weeks without any plane spotting activity, today I came back to ''business'' with the return of Transaero. As far as I can remember the last time LPMA had the visit of this airline, was about a year ago with some flights made just in the Summer season.
Today's flight UN9121, was performed by EI-RUE all the way from Moscow Domodedovo Airport (DME).

Icelandair

This Tuesday we had a visit of a B757 from Icelandair. This is not a first at Madeira airport, the last time this airline stopped around here, with a B757, was in May 2010. Unfortunately the last time I photographed this airline was in March 2008.
As I've already mencioned, the flight was made by a B757 with registration TF-FIP.
Arrived at LPMA/FNC at 13:45 from Reykjavik and about one hour later took off to the Canary Islands, more precisely to GCLP/LPA. From Gran Canaria it would fly back to Reykjavik this time without stopping by Madeira Airport.

The shortest takeoff I've ever seen performed by a Boeing 757, just used 800 meters of runway.

Finnish Airlines

This Monday we had at LPMA/FNC two Finnish airlines, Air Finland and Finnair.
I think we can say that one of the airlines brought us one unusual color scheme around here, i.e., the Air Finland's OH-AFL still with colors of Allegiant Air. About Finnair I can only say that it made the 'awesomest' approach of the afternoon.
OH-AFL / Boeing 757-204 / Air Finland


OH-LBR / Boeing 757-2Q8 / Finnair


G-TAWF / Boeing 737-8K5/W / Thomson Airways

LX-LGT / Boeing 737-8K5 / Luxair
OE-HII / Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 / Amira Air
According to what I've found this is Niki Lauda's private jet.
