how many times have we seen in the past airlines lease in capacity at short notice and they’ve leased in any old shed from any old airline and it’s caused even more disruption. It looks as though tui have done their homework with the max covers, especially Olympus and Alba star both of which are operating consistently on schedule
I agree. I’ll admit I haven’t looked into the leased a/c performance much but the ASL 738 at CWL and Titan A320s in London seem to be running pretty well too.
Rather (perhaps unsurprisingly), Sunwing seems to be one of the main sources of burden. Today the NWI aircraft was poached for DUB flights (seems to be a recurring theme), meaning G-TAWU had to cover at NWI. The outbound ended up going MAN-NWI-LGW-PFO (perhaps for a crew change?) and then PFO-NWI-MAN.
