I agree. This is a fact, especially for Malaysia Airlines, once the airline opened a route to SAEZ. In 1993, MAS reached South America when the airline received its Boeing 747 aircraft. MAS became the first airline in Southeast Asia to serve South America via its flights to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Malaysia Airlines also flew to Mexico City between 1994 and 1998 with fifth-freedom rights to carry passengers between Mexico City and Los Angeles. And then in 4th March 1997, the first production of Boeing 777-200 Extended Range (ER) destined for Malaysia Airlines came out of the Boeing Factory in Everett, Washington. Nicknamed the ‘Super Ranger’, this aircraft also bears the official registration number of 9M-MRA, signifying the country where the aircraft will be based for the next 19 years. The Super Ranger was a special aircraft to both Boeing and Malaysia Airlines. Not just the Super Ranger logo being glued proudly at the front section of the fuselage, but both parties especially Boeing wanted the world to know that its latest product can fly farther than any other commercial aircrafts at that time can do. For Malaysia Airlines, it meant a cool and prestigious marketing campaign promoting its latest product to the international market. On 2nd April 1997, that Super Ranger flew to its home base at the then Kuala Lumpur International Airport at Subang from Boeing Field in the opposite ‘long way’ direction - non-stop in an attempt to break the Great Circle Distance Without Landing record. Inside the aircraft during its extra-long, world record shattering journey were only 23 passengers instead of full 278 passengers. Executives from Boeing and Malaysia Airlines, members of the press, flight technicians and seven pilots readied up their stamina to endure the long journey to Kuala Lumpur. Instead of shorter westerly route over the northern Pacific Ocean, the aircraft flew eastwards passing over eastern Canada, the Atlantic Ocean, southern Europe, the Middle East, India and finally towards Malaysia, covering a distance of 20,044 km, or half the earth’s diameter.

Their website’s pretty weird… TAAG is showing future flights from Luanda to Lisbon operated by the “777-200/300” almost like they aren’t sure which aircraft will be ready at the time.

I love TAAG so much, my first trip to Africa in Namibia Windhoek was with TAAG from Lisbon to Luanda and from Luanda to Namibia and was the best experience ever…

Interesting fact: the first 777 (last I checked) is still flying to this day in United’s fleet (as United was the first customer)

Hey there.

I’m using FlightPlanDatabase.com to generate my routing EKGG-TPBP for @MishaCamp post. It, apparently, has an export to Infinite Flight but when I do so, and then add it to my flight plan, all the longitude and latitude fail to be recognised - example export below.

Can anyone recommend a route planner that successfully imports Long/Lat waypoints into IF?

Many thanks in advance Community
