G-FDZT suffered a bird strike whilst operating EDI-ACE this morning. It turned back soon (although not immediately) after take-off and it looks like they tried to return to EDI but ended up at GLA. The aircraft is still there now and G-TAWA was ferried from BHX-GLA to operate the flight with an 11 hour delay. G-FDZZ was ferried from LGW-EDI to operate this evening's EDI-DLM with a comparatively minor delay of 1.5 hours.

I must say I am fairly impressed with the way TUI have handled all of this, considering it is summer and the current aircraft shortages. I am actually quite surprised at how well it’s been dealt with – I guess the leased aircraft are helping loosen the schedule a little for now, although it isn’t peak summer yet.
