Stansted 2 x B738
So 15 based UK/Ireland airports, 81 aircraft required, 8 airlines operating (TUI, TUI Nordic, Fly4 Airlines, Ascend Airlines, Air Explore, Avion Express Malta, Smart Lynx Malta, Titan Airways)
based on the currenty TUI fleet, and all the leased in aircraft, that leaves the following spare aircraft:- 1 B789, 7 B738's
seams a lot of spare aircraft, I wonder if any of the new 737 Maxs being delivered, will replace any of the older 737-800's?
of course all subject to change, and any ad hoc substitutions as required!
