No 767 short haul from LGW this year either.

Does anyone know the aircraft base allocations for Summer 2016 ? CWL currently has a 752 inbound from BHX where we've been a 2x B738 base for the last two years.

[skyhawk1]

CWL due to be 2 x B738 for S16 so B752 poss a one off while all aircraft get to correct bases for the summer.

[jfy1999]

What aircraft will be based at BHX this summer?

[nsherrin15]

It does seem strange the 752 positioning in this evening as ZZ positioned in from Cambridge this morning to join ZS to give the two based 738's. Like mentioned above may just be a one off, it's scheduled to operate the PMI according to the flight number

[samj]

That's brilliant information regarding the 787s. I suppose that means 3 767s at Manchester and 1 spare?

[mathers_wales_uk]

G-BYAW is doing the same as last year where it operated the first flight to Palma of the season. Thomson has 2 x B738 aircraft at Cardiff and the B752 at present and only the B752 & one B738 will be operating tomorrow.

It maybe something to do with capacity on the first flights to fill the hotels for the 10/11 and two weeks holidays

[Faolpfr]

tomorrow the flight operated by 787 changed to 738 ( LGW-FAO-LGW), anyone know why?

[yeo valley]

not enough pax for a 787. It might have been needed else where for cover etc.

GLA-SAL cape verde

approx 2865m - a 757 mission - full load non-stop northbound? should be OK?

no probs for a 763

[CabinCrewe]

CapeVerde (albeit Boa) was operated ex GLA on a 757 previously without issue so I expect Sal will be no different

[seafire6b]

SAL = IATA code for San Salvador, in El Salvador, Central America.

Agreed no problem from GLA to SID (Ilha do Sal, Cape Verde islands). SID used to be a very frequent, although albeit unscheduled, "splash & dash pit-stop" for numerous airlines' full B707s and DC-8s, which had intended operating non-stop from EZE, GIG & VCP etc in South America, onwards to their European destinations.

[valefan16]

Went to Sal last year on a 757 from BHX with TOM, not the most comfy as it's quite a trek but it's shorter slightly than Boa Vista as north of it. Six hours from BHX so going to be pushing seven from GLA though. Has a long runway from what I recall to accommodate SAA jumbos who needed it as a refuel stop during the apartheid era.

[BN2A]

Only 36 miles shorter.....

SID runway not longer than most big airports, but long enough... Correct about the SAA fuel stops though.

767 & 787

Does anyone know what shorthaul routes the 767 & 787 are doing this summer on what days and from what bases?

[LGWAlan]

scroll up to post3025 - a very comprehensive list of 787 short haul flying......

G-TUIB Brake failure after LGW-CUN flight

Apparently G-TUIB suffered a brake failure after LGW-CUN flight 17-May-2016, and the return flight has been cancelled

Anyone know whats happening with respect to getting passengers home and people out today?

[MikeyMoo]

Tuif (shorthaul configuration) is operating today's rotation to cun and is taking spares out to allow tuib to return with a 24 hour delay once fixed.
