GCELX is due to perform its last flight on the 4th Nov and will start the retirement process on the 5th.
GCELV will retire shortly after this on the 7th/8th November
GCELO will retire around the 22nd November.
EDI is confirmed all B738 base by mid December and NCL will be also all B738 by end of April. This will only leave EMA, BFS and LBA with the 300’s for summer 2019.
