Filmed in 2003 - Released in 2004

Belair Airlines, the Swiss charter airline, operates a fleet of Boeing 757s and Boeing 767s on medium and long haul flights from its base at Zurich Airport to resort destinations around the world.

This program is an opportunity to discover the cockpit in detail and find out about the few differences. Both types are flown by the same pilots. Besides the cockpit presentation, an external walkaround, a look at flight planning and views in the cabin, you will get a nice load of scenery from the departures and arrivals in Switzerland to the arrivals at the sunny vacation destinations and while en route over lots of great areas of Europe and the Mediterranean.

At the first flight BHP307/308 from Zurich to Varna and back to Zurich with registration HB-HIS is flying B-757-200 ahead with Cpt. Eichenberger. An experienced captain of the B-757. During the whole flight the spectator will receive useful information about the cockpit preparation of the cabin, walkaround near the plane, exclusive explanations about all the buttons and instruments in the cabin. All the action is caught by multiple cameras located in different places – at the terminals, in the pilot cabin, in the main passenger salon and on the ground. The flight duration is approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes to Varna and back to Zurich. Actually the both cabins of B- 757 and B-767 are almost similar which makes the pilots operate easily the both planes with no need of extra training. In this case the company has made a good choice with only Boeing fleet. The ICAO code of the charter airline is BHP and IATA – 4T with a constant callsign – Belair. The whole operating fleet consists of 2 B-757-200 (HB-IHS and HB-IHR) both featured in the video production, and 1 B- 767-300 (HB-ISE). To find out more info about the airline you could easily see their website at www.belair-airlines.com. Now lets take a look at the box. The typical package is a DVD style box including inside the video. Usually inside is only the disk, without any other materials. The coverphoto is pretty exotic, showing one of B-757s of the airline overflying high mountains! At the rear side you will find useful information about the flights,captains, flights duration and a short text describing the airline accompanies with a nice photo of the crew! The total running time is 181 minutes, which makes more than 3 hours high quality video describing every procedure, movement and cockpit preparation during ordinary flight. To achieve maximum quality of the sound recording, the operators use dual channel sound capturing system, which may affect in some situations. Some times channel two can’t be heard if your in “mono” mode, please switch to “stereo” to be able to hear all the sound. The finalize the general review, at all the mentioned airports, you will observe all real-life procedures at Varna, Kos, Heraklion and Zurich int. We wish you happy flying in the skies with Belair charter operator!

An excellent insight into operations in/out Zürich Airport with the new Midfield Dock E. Nice early morning departure from Zurich with the sun coming up over Austria. Visual approaches into Heraklion and Korfu show that hand-flying can be lots of fun, even in modern airline environment. Very special that the crew had the cockpit window open during taxi-in so the engine sound could be heard. Great view of ZRH from high above during descent from the south.

The Belair DVD is another first-rate program! As well as being introduced to an airline I'd never heard of before, I enjoyed seeing the operation of the Boeing aircraft and the interesting presentation of the 767. The filming was excellent and captured the flights nicely, allowing the viewer to feel as though they are actually onboard themselves. Thank-you Just Planes! Luke Harding, UK

Last week I received the DVD featuring Belair (757 & 767). So far I have enjoyed it - especially the takeoffs and landings into Zurich. The scene of Venice was excellent too. I hope Justplanes will release more DVDs featuring flights in and out of Zurich and more scenes of Venice.
