These cancellations are nothing to do with the weather, G-EILA is on the ground at DAB after a tech diversion.
As I said on my original post, we will see what happens with the further BGI flight tomorrow. Can’t have 1x based A333 and cancel flights for days on end if it goes tech IMO.
The back up aircraft, G-EIDY was returned to DUB and placed back on the Irish register (again) some time ago. Rumour control says its coming back in March, replacing the A321 currently on the MAN-JFK route.
ILA had only just got back on schedule after a lengthy tech issue last week.
I remember someone on these forums saying that a back up aircraft was an unnecessary expense. 🙄
