It is a worry after the Boston fiasco and now a few Malaga and Palma flights cancelled soon after starting but it seems some positive news on the Primera thread with the next two aircraft now having engines.
Air India - A first for them at BHX with two scheduled flights from India today with just 25 minutes separating AI113 and AI117 on landing.
Thomas Cook & Condor - Rumour that the 4th A321 (Avion) is permanent in place of the Avion A320 and a surprise visitor today was a Condor 767 diversion on Toronto - Frankfurt due crew duty hours. Seems to have been well organised with the new crew arriving on LH954 from Frankfurt and it appears it was in for just over an hour. In a twist the LH954 was due to land just before the Condor but overshot due to a bird-strike on the preceding Ryanair aircraft, although it all turned out well in the end.
