I was led to believe the 2 TUI 757s, G-CPEV and G-OOBH were to have their leases extended for the summer period to cover for the Max's? G-CPEV is still at LTN, and G-OOBH at St Athan, are they both undergoing heavy maintenance? and hence TUI are still short of aircraft? can anyone confirm this?
Those delays aren’t too bad. 28.5 hour delay on GLA-DLM flight for perspective.
G-OOBH is not in St Athan and will not be returning to TUI. G-OOBG is in St Athan and G-CPEV is in LTN. I am not within TUI so can't confirm anything - maybe someone can? Both of these aircraft have been idle for a while but the fact they haven’t gone anywhere perhaps suggests TUI intend to reinstate them?
EDIT: What a coincidence... G-CPEV operating LTN-MAN now.
