Tuesday having 1 less aircraft programmed to fly has nothing to do with FNC. It’s a maintenance day - 1 aircraft goes through a check which is rotated between aircraft each week. On some occasions this maintenance can be cancelled at short notice when there is mass disruption within the fleet however this is only ever really during the winter months. Normally during the summer due to the aircraft flying so much the maintenance needs to happen.
