Photo Comment

The Air Europa was EC-FKI, a Boeing 737-375, operating AEA516/517. The Virgin Boeing -400's (OO-VEC and OO-VED) brought guests for festivities of the completion of the cruise ship 'Mercury', which was built in the Eemshaven. OO-VEC returned the next day to pick up the passengers again, OO-VED stayed overnight. Anecdotally, handling was under the impression there had been a schedule change, but suddenly 2 aircraft showed up. Slight 'panic', as it was the first time handling 2 aircraft at the same time.
