I assume this airline hasn't any money to use a reliable airline or perhaps find one with available aircraft but in the mean-time OY-PAA is over the Atlantic on Stansted - Boston 15 minutes late and CS-TKR Euroatlantic 763 has departed CDG just 24 minutes behind departure time.
Just what BHX needs after suffering many transatlantic setbacks, an airline that starts on the back-foot although I realise the engine manufacturer is mainly to blame.
On a positive note Primera operated both the Malaga and Palma with their own aircraft. Shame the 738 could not have been used via KEF but I suppose they are not ETOPS.
BA are back in the early hours 03.30 from Palma then operates Florence, Palma and Malaga tomorrow.
Flybe start Verona tomorrow for TUI and EFL as per 2017.
TUI now 8 based. Next up Jet2 with aircraft 8 in a few days.
