TUI should have had 9 Maxs in service for the end of May, so thats 9 aircraft they have had to find. Possibly 2 of the 757s whos leased have expired, maybe be kept longer, possibly both having maintenance at present, an extra Sunwings 738 has been leased, 1 ASL 738, 3 Olympus A321s, and maybe the Titan 757s?
BHX is a 9 aircraft base for summer, plan was 1 788, 3 757s and 5 737s, 2 ot the 737s has been pinched to replace the Maxs at the other bases, so the new plan as to replace these with 2 Olympus A321s, one might start service on the 12th May, the 2nd would be needed from the 17th, the Alba Star/Jettime/Titan aircraft are therefore being sub chartered at present to replace the Olympus A321s! Complicated! But things might yet change........
