Meanwhile the 3rd Olympus A321, SX-ABQ after being on the ground at Antalya for over 2 months, ferried to Athens, then onto East Midlands also Monday morning under a TUI flight number, for a few cabin modifications, before presumably being based at Manchester?
Have TUI now got enough aircraft to operate the full summer schedule?
I think TUI were hanging on to see how the RTS of the MAX would pan out but I guess we all know we will not see the MAX back anytime soon, and certainty not for the summer season to end of OCT.
Well maybe by now - They should have had 9 MAX on strength for S19
TUI were likely hanging on for the outcome of any RTS of the MAX and TUI would have had a cut off point to make decisions on fleet needs, but they and we, all know now the a/c will not be back this summer season.
