After the completion of the merger Thomas Cook Group Plc today announced that Thomas Cook Airlines & MyTravel Airways will be combined and operate under the (as expected) Thomas Cook Airlines brand, with its combined home in hangar One at Manchester Airport. Commonwealth house (TCX's current home) will close.

Does anyone have any ideas what the plans are for the aircraft? Will the MYT ones take the TCX livery and fly under the topjet callsign and name? Are there plans to sell any of the aircraft?
Will the MYT flights eventually all be scheduled as TCX flight numbers ?

What will happen with the handling of flights? e.g.
MYT use Servisair at CWL but when TCX have any diversions e.t.c. then Aviance handles them. Will this remain the same or will the handling agents change at the end of their current contract?
How long is left with the MYT handling contracts?
thanks

No idea about callsigns but apparently all aircraft will be in TCX livery.

No change AT ALL this year. AT ALL.
AT ALL
Call signs, Handling agents, uniforms, colour scemes......who cares...probably not even decided yet anyway, as there will be no changes AT ALL this year.
New management structure hasn't been announced yet , so why would anybody have decided about the bloody callsign?

Maybe not today or tomorrow but, change is something there most certainly will be
As for the callsign, I doubt it will have anything to do with birds of prey

Tcx & Myt S08
Is there any news yet about what aircraft will be staying or going particularly long haul when the two companies become one, also if there are any plans yet in place for what type of aircraft at which base.

The 752's are staying, and apparently the A321s are to go to TCX, as well as the following A320s: G-VCED, G-BYTH, G-CRPH, G-OMYA and G-GTDL, with the rest apparently going onto SkyService. TCX are to have MYTs 4 A330s. Not sure about the MYTs 763s, but rumours are they to are going to SkyService, but I don't know for definate. I had the info from another forum.

SAM-EMA - not sure where you get your info from but some bases will be Airbus eg EMA,BFS etc and 757's at others,eg GLA,NCL. The SSV 767 rumour aint correct either, 1, maybe 2 767's at MAN next summer.

BHX
TOPFLIGHT
What about BHX?
Currently 2 x TCX 757's and 2 x MYT 320's
Also TCX is Aviance and MyTravel Swissport, I assume one of them is
going to be disappointed?

Its the same situation at CWL. MYT are servisair, TCX (not based but diversions/charters) are Aviance.
I suppose MYT handling in MAN may expand and take on Thomas cooks business.
I had heard the 767's were going. Do they own them or are they leased?

BHX

Cheers, not looking good for 2008 for BHX with the expected loss of the TOM 762 to at least to a 757 and now the TCX/MYT currently at 235+235+180+180 down to 235 x 3.
Quite a drop unless it is made up by more rotations as quite a few days there are only 4 sectors for the existing aircraft (except Saturdays) but it is a reducing market and it could be worse.
