I see the Flyjet 767 still hasn't arrived?! Guess it'll be the 757 doing the LGW-MAN-TFS-LGW tomorrow then!

I read in the new May edition of Airliner World that the Flyjet 767 is going to be used for the new STN-Bermuda routing operating for the vitual airline Fly First Class.
Is this true.
I thought it was to be used for charter flights.

According to http://www.cactuswings.********.com/ the 767 has had two airtests one on the 5th April and the other on the 8th April.

Where are the new (1/2?) 757-200s coming from?

I heard that they aren't getting another 757 now, the LGW based 757 (EA) is relocating to NCL to operate the flight programme from there and the 767 will operate all LGW flights, charter and long-haul.

The B767 was due to deliver to LGW today. Did it arrive?

Well the FJE840 MAN-TFS tomorrow has been subbed to a 743 and the FJE420 LGW-TFS has been subbed to a 752! Mmm could this be because the 767 hasn't arrived?

Does anyone know where this a/craft is going to operate to (aside from the pos BDA flights). Is it going to the traditional longhaul dest like dom rep, cancun, sanford etc. And which tour ops is it going to br flying for.

The 762 is doing the BDA flight from STN 4 times a week and the rest of the time it'll be doing short haul from LGW (TFS, ACE etc)

How will the B767 do BDA and ILM 4 times a week and then do short haul with only 90 SEATS, which it is supposed to be getting.

Yes think I seen her at last. The aircraft is not in full Flyjet colours yet I think, if so then it was the Flyjet B767 I saw.
Can anyone confirm??
Cheers.

I can confirm that G-FJEC is here. I have seen flyjet's Boeing 767 myself. It is not in Flyjet colours. It is a white aircraft with a blue tail and blue engines until it gets the Fly First Class Livery. Can't wait to get on it. Exciting times ahead for Flyjet. As soon as we can get a pic we will post it. :ok: :ok:

The proving flight is tuesday to NCL and the first operational flight is a TFS on friday. Some of the crew did touch drills on the 767 yesterday plus I've seen it. So its definately here. Like i said before as soon as i get a pic i'll post it
long awaited queen of the sky
Depends on your interpretation of Queen of the sky- if an ancient second or third hand half painted 762 does it for you- so be it.:)

Upandup - I realise it will be flying for Fly First Class contracts to BDA but surely it should go in the FLYJET colour scheme. Is it not something that the company should be advertising - the long talked about 767 is finally here but wont be in Flyjet colours - why the reason not too?? Who owns it the airline or the tour operator??

So what happened? I got called to day to ask if I'd give up some days off to operate couple of Sub Charters for FJE this weekend because the 767 was not available? Is it broken already? Was there a proving flight problem. Not sure we got the work in the end, but very mysterious.

It is in the basic colour scheme of blue and white at the moment for its shakedown period. Any problems it has can be ironed out now and crew can get used to the aircraft. We have a contract with FlyFirstClass and will be operating Bermuda and North Carolina routes on this aircraft. The Aircraft will then be reconfigured to hold only 96 passengers and will be painted with FlyFirstClass livery, which also has blue and white base colours. Its kinda like Air Atlanta, who have one of there 747's in TravelCity Direct colours. Its Flyjet's aircraft but once the FlyFirstClass contract begins, the aircraft will only be used for the FlyFirstClass contract.
I was on the aircraft the other day to do my touch drills and was half expecting it to be knackered considering the age of the aircraft, but i have to say it is looking lovely. I can't wait to work on it.
There are definately exciting times ahead for Flyjet.
