Qatars Amiri Flight in LUX

November 1st is a public holiday here in LUX. That's something new for me as in The Netherlands it's a normal working day. So an unexpected day off for me! The weather was nice and two special aircraft where due to visit the airport. The first one already arrived the evening before, in the dark, so no photo's possible due to it's bad parking postion. It was an Airbus A340-500 (A7-HHH) of Qatar Amiri Flight,  arriving using callsign "Amiri 1". A340s are very rare around here and this VIP-aircraft was of course very welcome!

Thursday it departed for a very short flight to Liege (flying time must be something of 20-25 minutes!). For such a short hop (and probably having not a lot of pax on board) it needed very few meters for it's take-off:

Later in the day "Amiri 6" arrived, this being an Airbus A310 (A6-AFE) in the new Qatar Airways colours:

besides both Qataris normal traffic was nice again also. Quite a few freighters passed my lens. For me this China Cargo 747-400F was an highlight as I did not see it before:

back to the Netherlands this afternoon to pick up my last stuff. If weather permits I'll be back at the airport this Sunday.

You have a nice blog.

Qatar Airways has one of greatest liveries of all, the grey scheme is really awesome.

Warm regards,
