G-TUMA, currently in Brussels, is leaving on Brussels on Thursday 29th November 2018, and going direct to Manchester. It will be grounded in Manchester for a few days, and enters service on Saturday 1st December 2018, and operate from there until April 2018, when they will have more MAXs and rotate them round Manchester and other bases.
The next 737 MAX8, G-TUMB is due
Jan 2019, and G-TUMC is also due Jan 2019.
