Photo: A 1994 built BEH-1900D flying with North American indian own airline Air Creebec named aftere the Quebec Cree Indian tribe. This is a rugged popular small capacity regional plane used widely on very short hops out of major airports around the world. It's noisy, small, actually pleasant inside, has very large passenger windows and barrels down the runway like a bat out of hell.. you get a real sense of "flying" when you take one of these planes.

Corsair & Egyptair parked remotely. The airport's passenger transfer vehicules (PTV's) brought in a new load of people for the return flight to Paris. I'm not sure what this says about the new expansion wing they opened a couple of years ago for overseas flights.... not enough space perhaps?
