Yes the poor FO got a case of Delhi Belly. Usually happens when foreigners eat the local food here when they come for the first time.

Did the PTV news caster said ... 100 pax 16,000 Kms in 16 hrs ?

AND the plane ... on May 5........

Finally something nice and good to see at PK airport, hope to see more of these neat new narrow body airliners in PK airspace flying for Pakistani Airlines being it national airline or chartered ones. I'm sure PIA could secure few of these among A230a or B73NGs they are looking to replace the clunking B733s at very good prices..

good to know that russians value the potential market in pakistan.
now we should be waiting for thedreamliner.
this plane is smart though small capacity,a stretch might be expected in a few years, although the only 2 operators have praised it but it seems that its much heavier than initially advertised and its production has not really picked up.they delivered only 8 planes since nov10.
i think its a promising plane as it is eu-russian partnership and certified. price tag -anyone who ca afford $36 million a piece like air indus

It's being reported that a Sukhoi Superjet has disappeared during a demonstration flight in Indonesia, during an Asian sales tour for the aircraft.

According to reports, the aircraft had left for what was to have been a 30 minute demonstration flight; after 3 hours (by which time fuel should have been exhausted), the alarm was raised.

More to follow ...

Pakistan may buy new Sukhoi superjets


MOSCOW: Pakistan's Air Indus airline has shown interest in buying eight Sukhoi Superjet 100 airplanes, the Russian manufacturer said on Wednesday.

"The client is interested in purchasing eight new SSJ-100 planes, and get three of them in 2013," Sukhoi Civil Aircraft senior vice-president Igor Syrtsov said.

Russia will export 10 SSJ-100 airplanes in 2012. The planes will be delivered to Mexico, Indonesia, and Laos in the second half of the year. One plane has been exported this year to Armenia.

The Superjet 100 is a medium-haul passenger aircraft developed by Sukhoi in cooperation with US and European aviation corporations, including Boeing, Snecma, Thales, Messier Dowty, Liebherr Aerospace and Honeywell.

The aircraft is capable of carrying up to 100 passengers for up to 4,500 km.

Sukhoi has received over 200 firm orders for Superjet 100 airliners so far.
